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".
❷谁不说俺家乡好；
情感极强的作者型电影。我仿佛在窥探索伦蒂诺关于那不勒斯的记忆的全部细节，没有漏过每一位那不勒斯女性的美，还附赠了那不勒斯海岸的声音，在耳畔久久回响。
每一个导演都有一个《罗马》梦？然后网飞居然也愿意投钱让索伦蒂诺放肆狂拍个人成长史，流媒体大金主真的是要把这些影像作者都给宠坏了。全程不知所云，神游太虚，精气乱窜，在费里尼和托纳多雷之间举棋不定，落得个艺术片影迷和大众电影爱好者两头不讨好的结局。叙事有两个打动我的裂点，一个是痛失双亲的夜晚，一个是创作启蒙的清晨，大家族的吵闹从此烟消云散，前进的列车上只剩他和耳机作伴。马拉多纳终究也要成为回忆，一代人老去，再上一代人蒸发，唯有上帝之手在电影里被永远留下。
索伦蒂诺需要一些奇观的画面才能让他的幽默逻辑放大，与绝美之城和年轻气盛相比，这片只能在家常生活中用各种小技巧来制造张力，难免有点疲倦。不过个人记忆回忆满满，意大利真的到处都很美
[B-]虽然说剧情充满好莱坞式的套路，但形象设计和人物设定实在是太棒了！帅帅的大坏狼改邪归正让人暖心，魅力十足的市长大人的双重身份真是太绝了，两“人”在宴会上搭舞以及后面擦出的火花真的是戳死我！
自然是好看的，孩子们在夕阳下踢足球都拍得那么华丽壮阔，那不勒斯式的生活气氛，前半部叽叽喳喳笑声不断，后半部在父母突然离世后急转直下，扔橘子和诵但丁都是神来之笔，为什么要去罗马…你知道这座城市有多少故事吗？越往后越像浪荡儿...
再补充一点，这种漫画感和现实感满满的画面真的爱爱爱！！
周六口水鸡+土豆云豆！！！怎么能不配一个电影！！！！鸡子突然找的，印象中说以前听说过这个澳洲的原著！！
追求当好人的感觉所以坏人变成了好人
大概90年代是美国人最难忘，最缅怀，最得意的年代，所以这部片从画面到剧情，甚至调度、结构都是满屏的考古味。
还有她那个戒指 弄来弄去的 原来都是有伏笔。
“你的使命是什么？”
套路话的情节并没有什么新意，这一套流程真是看腻了。
狼太帅了，尼克代餐🈶️。狐飙车那段帅死我了。狼狐kswl，狐蛛我也浅嗑一口🥰
首先我非常非常讨厌索伦蒂诺，这部可能是我看过最好的索伦蒂诺吧。什么大美简直就是辣鸡～
Petit film d'animation familial et sympa cherche à contre-courant (ou en suivant la tendance) à créer des anti-héros bien humains sous sa gentille forme de "Buddy Movie" policier mais finit par se ranger dans la case "stéréotype" avec une intrigue peu ou prou conventionnelle au twist pas vraiment surprenant.
坏蛋们的良心好像长在了尾巴上，无聊中勉强嗑一嗑狐狼cp
很棒 好笑 观影愉快，即便走出影院，生活中的问题还是在那
这个电影是怎么上7分的，这种廉价感情转变和情节反转，真的就是10岁左右看的智力教育片。美版熊出没。
电影院什么时候才能多上点新片啊，好久没到电影院看电影了……好郁闷
