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".
差点忘了，bgm都配的非常应景！大概得有十来个吧
可能是我看过的开心麻花电影里，最好的一部。笑到我哭。就算多处情节的安排，能看得到多部影视作品的影子。我都不觉得讨厌。用灯光照亮你的世界这个处理，就真的浪漫不科学。配乐运用得恰当好处，但某些情节音乐铺得太满，情绪上就稍显过度。
谐音梗很自恋，辣目、夏洛特烦恼，这种梗把自己当中心，再碰上“主角大秀、配角围观”的主线，人物退居三堵墙安全区内，让它成了麻花最自恋的电影。配角们躺尸吃瓜，失能似的被主角操控，影片还有一对反对者直接被抹去，让人深觉讽刺。如果把派+看作大号病毒，还会发现，它科幻得不够硬，喜剧得不够软，主旋律的内核倒是强得很，那种“牺牲一个人拯救千万家”的煽情方式犹如抗疫，仿佛创作者做过2021年社会心理调查，以尝试迎合和煽动观众。可惜啊，到了2022年暑期，社会心理已不再是2021的状态了。
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈强推 好可爱好轻松好搞笑
中国元素运用得非常合适，片头曲就是中文歌有点令人惊讶，里面有些笑点真的是看过后回想起来还会想笑的，而且从未见过填坑填得如此丝滑自然的动画片，观感太好了！
黄子韬一摘假发我喷了，哈哈哈哈哈哈，以后往谐星发展吧，感觉贼有前途
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈强推 好可爱好轻松好搞笑
好喜欢1，兴致冲冲来看2，好无聊啊……格鲁配音好垃圾
提四点印象：1、特效不赖；2、“你不是人”桥段既浪漫又爆笑；3、《Take Me Home Country Road》屡次奏响于其他电影中，这次中文翻唱最动听；4、阴差阳错美化小人物以至宣传目的，消抹质疑之声为堵悠悠众口，很难不产生现实联想。
因为不够喜剧，反而成为最好的开心麻花电影。大部分的不适感都来自直播的设定，但从整体的自洽程度和质感上，我觉得是迄今为止中国最好的硬科幻电影。
高情商:人民喜闻乐见的文化产品
好笑好燃好浪漫，还有几个地方好感动，开心麻花不愧是你！
带着观众在宏大叙事和喜剧之间反复横跳，却什么都没做好。要科幻却又太多逻辑硬伤，场景搭建得像过家家（辣目洋子后面的办公室文件夹，就是告诉我是在小区保安室拍的，我都会信）。嗯，杠精肯定要说，这是喜剧啦，那么较真。可是喜剧也很尬啊，几个明星脸公式一般念台词，为了笑而笑，脸上写满了：我这么努力，你还不笑吗？
从电影院门口就开始唱banana的前脑残粉一名 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
在三星和四星之间犹豫，还是四星吧，多一星给沈腾和马丽的表演。同样的处境，马丽的表演比倪妮在《拆弹2》里的好太多了。独孤月闯入马蓝星房间并擦番茄汁那段略低俗，麻花可以试着高级一点的。另外，我觉得称赞英雄确实是有必要的，不能矫枉过正。不能因为理解明哲保身的无奈，就不称赞英雄舍己为人的伟大。
对小学生来说有点幼稚 但是对大人来说刚刚好() 我本人真的是minions爱好者 卡通电影真的只看这个 笑点挺多的而且minions好可爱啊 满满的中国元素好评 文化输出了有木有！我也不懂为啥不让上←_←坏人的故事有点普普 最后的鸡汤也feel到了
看得出开心麻花砸钱在大量科幻制作上，沈腾表演信念感满满。故事线完整但浅显，喜剧点抛梗抖包袱较多处不太贴，最终还是靠突然的煽情来结束。
看的80分钟版本，不知道删了些啥。挺无聊的，我想笑但是笑不出来，全靠小黄人卖萌拉分了
如果你希望看一部无厘头的喜剧，就像麻花之前的很多电影那样，那你肯定要失望。
沈腾贡献了影帝级别的独角戏～！
