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".
电影细节的描写非常好 剧情有很多可以思考的点 虽然是超现实的未来电影 但是也映射出人想要接受和放下的痛苦和挣扎 不放心任何人可以代替自己 就算那个人就是自己也不行
你担心你去世后家人无法接受，找个克隆人代替你，有没有想过你太太，母亲，父亲也是这样想的，结果一家子克隆人生活在一起，其乐融融。
从婚礼到葬礼，默片到有声电影，时代的眼泪。
婚礼和葬礼，求婚与新生，生活被安排得明明白白，英国人不愧是英国人
今天下午看的，完全超出预期，比第一部电影要好看很多。今年新片中最棒的，上个月看的《神奇动物》把我给恶心到了。剧情上完全承接，没有bug,没有吃书。这才是时代在变革!开头汤姆个婚礼到老夫人的葬礼用的简直太巧妙。夫人cora的演员真是越老越有韵味，比《美国往事》时期更加惊艳!无意中也了解了电影的发展史。电影也无意中在反应时局：西班牙流感是不是再说当下的新冠；剧中当红女演员的无理是不是无意中也在映射当今的某些流量演员。“她的一张脸就能卖一百万张票”托马斯的剧情是不是删了，他也是每一部都能遇到真爱。老妇人年轻时的罗曼史也真是够丰富的。还记得看第一部是19年大二上学期，刚考完期末考试的那个期末，下午三点的场，电影院中坐的很满；这个月，我上周刚刚答辩完毕业论文，也是下午三点的场次，六号厅里就我一个人。
TV动画《鬼灭之刃》的合集：第01~05集→《兄妹的羁绊》、第06~10集→《浅草篇》、第11~14集→《鼓屋敷篇》、第15~21集→《那田蜘蛛山篇》、第22~26集→《柱众会议・蝶屋敷篇》。
90% of editting is song choosing (i guess)
科幻细节很精致，故事创意都很好，不过看下来就感觉特别平淡，好想法没表现好，可惜了
新贵与旧贵族
本集主要讲了两件事，老夫人被刚过世的年轻时的情人送了一个位于南法的度假别墅，有电影公司租用唐顿庄园拍电影，却正赶上从默片到有声片的过渡。
不知道什么时候才能看到内地上映版删减的6分钟。全世界的影视题材里，我们像一座孤岛～
一个很值得深思的话题，如果注定要离开，你愿意让另一个人完全取代你吗？很难选择，男主的表演很好很细腻
工整的科幻想象。too much man.
上世纪的私生子
唐顿庄园2固然刻画了一个上层和底层都没有坏人，人人淳善的理想世界，但似乎又落入了另一个俗套：比如要把剧中所有人都要搭个对象，前期那些女仆，老人也就算了，到最这电影版最后一部，老厨娘，已经远离庄园的农夫，乡村老师，也都要非要凑活一一搭配。这种思想在西方其实应该也是要被白左，大众批评的。这沦为了和中国一样，离婚可耻，老处女可耻，老了之后不配对不配种可耻。
想不通，这才是真正意义上判死刑吧。我接受不了被人遗忘地离开。syz 说他也会选择这样的方式离开，真是没想到..
虽然很多硬核技术显得很空洞，但是影片巧妙的弱化了技术的细节，聚焦到了人性和情感的复杂，爱与本我的取舍。原以为的黑色科幻转折也没有，但却不觉得遗憾，因为他带给我一些爱与家庭的思考，我觉得我会找个时间，跟老婆在看一次。虽然，也许，她可能看不下去这种电影🐶
婚礼和葬礼，求婚与新生，生活被安排得明明白白，英国人不愧是英国人
实在忍不住开倍速了。反正是看过的番。
尽管不是很喜欢主人公的性格，天鹅们还是天鹅
