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".
实在太欢乐了，以及有朗朗上口的歌曲，是放松的两小时。
（连看两季才发现蛋蛋也来配音了，还是我最喜欢的那位。讲真，蛋蛋可以考虑一下Singer
《王者制造》，韩国拍政治题材的电影，是真敢拍，剧情把控也真的是拿捏的炉火纯青的境界，看影评很多人说都不如《南山的部长们》，但是“南山”个人感觉有点闷，像宫斗剧；而这部“王者”确感觉让普通观众能接受，剧情虽然有点理想化，但整部演员的演技实在精湛，把每个角色人物刻画的很饱满，加上节奏流畅，观感度很nice，几个老戏骨之间的飙戏，实在精彩，特别是竞选总统候选人那段，一切的计谋都验证了人性的根本，药剂师真的是把政治上的人心看得透透的，以至到最后，金云范还是要来找他，两者的会心一笑，结局尽是友谊，还挺可笑的。
在政坛起起伏伏，两人关系分分合合中，徐昌大这剂毒药，曾把金云范推进了无底深渊，最终也把他推向神坛。
歌曲及氛围5分，情节略差…算了反正我确实是来听歌的
ps：李善均大叔真的是劳模，这几年大屏幕小屏幕皆是佳作！
故事依然套路化 问题在于角色变得工具化 而不是像第一部那样好好打磨角色故事 更像是在赶工一个商品 好在歌还是好听的 以及大量欧美音乐梗彩蛋 估计再有第三部也主要是听歌了
第一部是从平凡走向成功，这一部是从成功走向辉煌，立意上没有第一部有韵味。但是短短的一个半小时，不光解决了不少问题，节奏明快，竟然还塞进了差不多四十首歌（海选里一个歌手只“hello ”一下就被淘汰的也算一首）。最后的星际穿越大秀真是想象瑰丽、场面绚丽。唯一的缺点是把狼总整得有点过头了。
感人。本片又名：王的男人；伪装成政治的罗曼史；this love；影子爱人。
剧情和第一步比差很远，但歌舞动画片只要足够悦耳，足够热闹了，其实就不会太差。不出色，但会让人愿意看下去。
獅王為啥聽了首歌就出山了？為啥小狼哭泣之後被蜥蜴秘書一喊就肯過來演出了？算了聽歌就完事了，別在意情節。最後的大秀還真的挺好看的。而且我特別喜歡小狼porsha和一群眼鏡猴的踢踏舞。
歌没有第一部那么让我喜欢了，但还是五星！！！本来以为狮子出场可以来一首摇滚的，可惜并没有。希望还有下一部，然后把一二部的全员集合再搞次大的！
即便加入了不少新的小动物，依然没有看1时的惊喜，不难看
场景设计是不错的，但没有被故事打动，没有第一部“跌入谷底，只能向上“的那种点睛之笔了。
视听感受level+1，人物刻画level-1
还可以吧，在近几年的韩国政治电影中不算一流。
在疫情压抑之下，我们都需要这么一场现实无法实现的舞台效果，华丽的、别开生面的演唱会来治愈…
似乎没有第一部那么喜欢 但仍然是音乐和画面都很美的温馨电影
还是那一套，不给机会，硬上，这已经成了这类题材的固定模式了。没什么特别出彩的地方，普普通通。歌曲也就那么回事儿吧。角色动机啊，转变啊，都体现不出来。
从小镇歌声变成了大都市的舞台秀，歌曲还是不错，老狼最后居然没洗白。
