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".
有点抓马 插曲total eclipse of the heart好听
从预告片开始就一直很期待能够有新颖剧情，只是后来没有字幕不得不看全英。安东尼奥很帅，影片整体的画面很唯美，但和自己所期望的有些差距，有些失望。
Just like your grandfather.
🎬《狼与狮子》🌟🌟🌟
感动，如果我有一个叫萨拉的孩子，我会让他活出自我
我服了 看的我难受 几度想起身离开 你要是只讲感情线也好 偏偏乱七八糟 像一个魔幻片 我也看了不少王朔的书 并没有感觉像啊！
不是传统的爱情电影，更像是在探讨人生哲理。很多台词都可以当做文案发朋友圈。辗转世界，看透宇宙，就算容颜不老，身体和记忆也会衰竭，但愿我们记住现在的每一个美好的瞬间，每一个人爱你和你爱的人。
在长达半小时的家庭伦理大战之后，终于抛弃了琐碎，丢下了生活终于寻找了自我。爱不分性别，人亦是。没有隔阂的灵魂之州，照片追寻你的足迹，夜路路灯下的宿醉，缠绵悱恻的吻，终究是爱意打败了抗拒。结尾的处理好棒，终要跟爱情告别，与生活上路，车开，字幕起，音乐响起，私人的渴望早就成了两个不分彼此的爱。 @2022-01-19 00:36:47
#片尾亲密镜头加分，恋爱脑表示无法理解为什么Daniel不带Sara回南方，留都不留一下嘛！
故事很简单，感情纠葛了半天，直男永远都是直男，gay最终还是活出了自我。主要是为了男主看的，说不上哪里帅，但就是很戳我，演员把直男气质演绎的淋漓尽致，这简直就是我身边大多数直男的形象。但编剧把这种直男的形象过于美好化了，历史经验告诉我们，事实上是，永远不要碰直男，他们感觉自己在被骗后只会让你尝到“铁拳”的滋味，如果还像剧中那样纠葛不清的，基本都是bi或深柜。
能理解男主为什么最后会跟他做一次再离开。很爱而不得，是最让人难过的。至少得拥有一次，有时候这不是性取向的问题更像一种执念（虽然被骗了但还是在他心里很想她），得到后也许会真的坦然放下罢了，可能不合适或者感觉也没那么好，至少尝试过，男主中年危机，很难得心动一次最究是错付了哈哈。电影好臭好长。但我希望有个别通讯录不要去乱骗直男，骗他们感情，男主这得亏是遇到脾气好的，遇到差的小心被打到β飞奶炸罢了。
(直到三十分钟驾车时才出现片名，一下子想起阿彼察邦的《祝福》，而且也同样是出逃之意)
男主男性荷尔蒙爆炸，除了肚子大一点点，其他完美。作为巴西警察，第一次见面没认出是变装确实不应该，题材也不算新颖，还行吧。
摄影还是不错，可能是胶片拍摄的，比较有质感，整个影像风格确实比较王家卫。配乐演员演技都不错。之前刚看了风信子之恋，被影片的高质量惊呆以后，同样是警察直男被掰弯的故事，差别还是挺大的。我把所有主角是警察的gay片都看了，制服控没办法。最近看了几部同影质量都很高，85年夏天，风信子，这部，伟大的自由，反而有答案的男子和浴火鸟我觉得一般。
很想吐槽里面那只母狼怎么看都是狗吧。不过小动物还是很可爱的
喜欢动物和自然风光，这部电影给全了！很温暖的故事，跌宕起伏的情节也挺抓人的…
这部电影 真的拍的好细腻，好静谧 人物也好真实 容貌也没有滤镜 在现实生活中 生活就是没有滤镜 尤其是为生存挣扎的人
直男从愤怒到接受的过程，影片给的太粗糙，感觉没什么挣扎就接受了，完了也只是在汽车站的公卫解决了下生理需求就分开了。这是什么五彩缤纷的鬼爱情？分明就是觉得，来都来了，不做点什么好像有点亏？随便看看就好了。
我不知道为啥评分这么低，但是剧中的动物和人类之前的感情，动物之间的感情真的有打动到我，小狮子和小狼都好可爱，动物都是有灵性的，我还是很推荐~
