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".
虽然是网剧，编剧功底依然扎实，情节层层推进，冲突与和解并不突兀，演技也都在线，老鹰葬礼上的眼泪细节很赞。对于特殊人群的包容其实也象征着整个社会文明的水平，在喜剧的外壳下想要探讨一些深刻的话题，每个人物都做了有意义的选择，这也许本身就是电影的意义之一，东北文艺复兴，中国电影加油！
三颗星给风景，滨边美波和开头绘画部分，都很美。但是剧情一般，两小时看得我如坐针毡。
两星半，半星给二手玫瑰和写毛笔字的。有些梗还挺好玩的，反转的包袱，偶尔看一看这种作品还算解压，质量比起其他同类作品而言也说的过去，没用过多尴尬的笑点或浮夸的表演模式去搪塞观众，但后半段还是垮的不行。不懂为什么突然就去打架了，也不懂为什么要散伙又不散伙了。
杉野遥亮真的剧抛脸啊 不看演员表真的没认出来
无论亲情友情，那种突然消失的痛，和竭尽全力去寻找，到最终接受消失都难以释怀的过程，亲历过的人最清楚，影片的节奏和慢镜头的诠释，深入人心，共鸣温情。好片。
真要把葬礼弄成高规格、大场面，300万还不行，我出3000万，把老谋子整来做导演。
刀爷的做法也是道德绑架——“哦不好意思，这是可以做的吗”
堇真的是把所有义无反顾的喜欢和温柔都留给了真奈。
em首先，好叭，是我个人主管印象，崔志佳怎么这么油，莫名让我想起高中谈恋爱的男孩，呕呕呕，我一点都不喜欢这样的，是也不知道为什么，其实，我认为故事根本没有啥高潮，很多事情讲不明白，真的很垃圾，并不是所有喜剧演员都能当导演，小品细节有时候也不适合搬到大荧幕，而且大潘佳佳他们的小品本身也没有沈腾贾玲宋小宝他们好笑
6.5
觉得后半段的动画很惊艳。愿世界上的自然灾害少一些，也愿世上不再有be的双向暗恋故事。
《关于下个捡到我小猫钱包的是我的命中命中这件小事》
總得來說，除了素人面對攝像機講述的那一段之外就沒有什麼特別的感想。在心裏會不自覺地拿《終歸大海》和《影裏》進行對比，雖然也沒那麽相同，總之覺得不如《影裏》。（）兩個女主之間有一種讓人煩躁的曖昧，看到結尾我都不是很能理解女主怎麼就這麽看開了。她有一種虛無空洞的看開，讓人感覺她內心還是迷茫的。總之我還蠻難共情的。不過人和景拍得確實都很美，小動畫也很精緻。能看到長髮的美波、短髮的美波、短髮染髮的美波、超短髮的美波。
哪有那么多巧合，真是的，哪有那么多巧合。她可是和三四郎一样不和陌生人亲近的人，却在第二次见面就帮真奈抠嗓子眼。
虽然有点乱，但是思念一个人时就是这样，没有真正失去，虽然生活中没有了你的身影，但已经融化在我的世界里，像大海那样深，无论何时，无论某地，都在思念
片子的完成度还是不错的，包袱，笑点都有。。。就是赵大明白这剧情。。着实不理解。。
虽然有点虎头蛇尾，但还将就看。不过何时才能正正经经拍点喜剧片？现在喜剧片不整点伤感，社会问题啥的，都不能拍了？
每一个离开的人都把一部分爱人锁在过去。不能被看见的爱情藏在一次红掉的眼眶里
“再在这里待下去会被传染变成笨蛋的。”
