Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
3.5；非常契合主题“A New Era”——大小姐终于正式掌舵，旧时代感情落幕，新生命加入家族，总有人离开，也总有人到来；藉由电影从无声片想有声片转变，很应景地贴合主题。这个系列拍到此时，完全似一位老友，共忆流年，追寻记忆中那个人，感慨岁月多么快赶上我们，以及死神似乎都已在招手，如果需要一个句号，我希望本片就是。
鬼灭TV版被切碎的七零八落，不过确实几个故事都挺有意思
归宿都有了，结局一眼望到头了，就这样吧（言外之意，不要再拍了！）
鬼灭TV版被切碎的七零八落，不过确实几个故事都挺有意思
爆哭😭
阉割版《唐顿庄园2》。婚礼开头，葬礼结束，everyone gets a happy ending，包括老伯爵夫人，喜寿，走都走得那么得体。本来是一部爽片，结果把托马斯的戏删得七零八落，就让人很不爽了。赶上了这倒退年代，也无话可说。
因为只有我一个人看，检票妹妹特好奇，出来之后问我好看吗，我说我英国亲戚的事儿当然好看哈哈！（摩登家庭是我美国亲戚😂）
喜欢兄妹之间的羁绊，喜欢男主团的坚毅，人生中需要我们面对的困难很多，我也要坚强一点
还是熟悉的贵族庄园调调，这些年也对英式旧庄园和交际更熟悉了一点，看得更心领神会有趣得很。庄园出租拍电影，美国女演员的粗俗和口音真是惊到了所有人，奶奶还说她讲得很musical，英式拐弯抹角和讽刺好好玩，变成有声电影后时代默片女星当然被淘汰。另外一拨人去了南法，光是想想英国跟南法的温度差就替剧中人热死了。唐家屯这么多年了居然又出了一部！开心。巴罗先生老了不少。
Zenitsu和Inosuke的声优可以选个听起来更有趣的人啊。说起来这两个人后来都结婚了啊，真是神奇啊。这个故事的设定虽多，但后面很少提到啊，没什么意义啊。
一半人留在大宅拍电影，迎接终结默片年代大动作
@@@（2021-09-12）鬼滅の刃 浅草編（鬼灭之刃 浅草篇）
总会有告别，然后开启新的旅程。有笑点也有感动，稳定发挥。
还是很好看很好看，居然看哭了两次😭😭对追完整个系列的人来说真的是个太好的结局
3倍速好爽。
唐顿真好，于我而言是夏尔一般的存在。伴我长大，仿佛是平行世界里的人，不管世界如何动荡变化永远温暖善良。
Totally fan movie. 没看过剧 第一部也忘得差不多了 人物关系完全一团乱麻 前半小时疯狂记人名记脸 到后面终于能开始看剧情了 电影别的没干 光拉cp了 已有的cp新来的cp 零零总总拉了好几对 男男女女男女婚内婚外未婚离异想嗑一定能嗑到 南法度假真的太美了 我也好想出去玩啊
戏服与生活
电影版都看了，圣诞版也都看了，唯独电视剧版，停在大小姐速度周旋在两个男人之间，以及各种糟心的剧情。再看此片，情怀都在。依旧不喜欢司机，他简直是在编剧笔下开挂的命好，原因是去世的三小姐爱上了他。我甚至为托马斯开启“下一站人生”而欣慰。是的，在这残忍的世界里能尽量幸福！父亲大人一如既往抓我眼球，哭泣那段演的真好啊！希望还有续篇：南法度假篇（让我联想到阿婆的推理剧），玛丽跟导演再续……想不到已经十二年了，第一次看此剧是2010年。
