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".
好温馨好主旋律的童话，爱你只是因为你是你，而不是你的天赋。每个人都有自己的门把手，能打开的不是奇迹，而是自己的生活，也只能打开自己的生活。抱怨无用，羡慕无用，努力让自己的生活更好才有点用。
如果最后是大家都接受了没有魔法的世界，我会给五星。
有点：魔法屋还是挺可爱的。背景设定：平职新玩家，到一定岁会有转职仪式，随机抽取职能、新技能、解锁新地图。人物设计：拉美群体，政治正确。故事内核：还是you don't have to be perfect 那套，迪士尼老套路。结局：我看到他们家丧失的魔法，靠自己双手，相互扶持，重建家园的时候还有点惊喜和感动。结果, 最后一刻魔法又回来了？那前面说的: "家人本身就是Miracle， 你不仅仅是你的Miracle你更是你自己", 就是随口打嘴炮而已？心口不一
粉丝滤镜再上线！家庭和爱和做自己的典型迪士尼故事真的非常非常粗线条了，可是我永远喜欢音乐剧——————（lin爹又当文化顾问了x
这电影不知道是不是政治正确的原因外网评价还不错。。十分钟的时候就猜到了全片剧情
华丽的动画设计，Disney原汁原味的童话故事，再加上独特的文化注入，Encanto虽然对部分人群而言可能过于俗套，但也正是Disney忠粉喜欢的又一款造梦作品。
We don't talk about Bruno～
迪士尼对拉美裔文化的演绎，画面很美（尤其大力士那首歌的表达和场景切换），故事很套路，原本应该是很深刻很黑暗，为了适应儿童市场强行降智、美化和简化。主角的几首歌反而很一般，是怎么回事，水平不行但是斗争厉害的创作者拿到话语权了么。
本片的立意不俗，可惜最重要的故事没讲好，或者干脆一点说，剧本直接就没写好——叙事铺垫不到位，人物关系的转变生硬别扭，最核心的戏剧矛盾竟然以草率敷衍的方式得到化解。
Today's rate is 6.5, and it will be getting higher and higher from today on— when it got Oscar, just three hours ago.
非常迪士尼，这不一定是坏事。但是戏剧冲突在哪里？什么矛盾都在一首歌里解决了，编剧有点偷懒。
画面非常好看，除此之外没有任何亮点。故事上没有逻辑，所有的矛盾都用歌舞来解决，魔法源于哪里？怎么就又失而复得了？影片生硬地给观众灌大道理，却懒得讲一个条理清晰的简单故事。歌曲也不是首首抓耳，拉美裔群体这块达斯米奇大概也不算讨好成功了。
除了音乐，一无是处。诸如这种讲述魔法不是最重要的魔幻题材作品有很多，但本片选的这种方式却不是很好。角色塑造方面这会几乎每位都是半吊子。不过仍然略好于之前的两部，但也不过如此而已。
和小动物交流的能力贼酷啊我也想要！
不声不响没热度的迪士尼动画。
颁一下奖也不是不可以，但真的没有别的选择了吗！
有人说这是迪士尼最差的动画，我却觉得这还是正常水平的迪士尼动画，至少比《1/2魔法》要好，虽然电影有一个半小时，可是我却意犹未尽，我总觉得电影有很多东西没有交代清楚，比如魔法的来源，我知道只要接受这个设定就好，看的时候我总是期待祖父能有点什么奇迹出现，另外这又是一个关于谎言构建的虚伪的美好家族，打破隔阂最好的方式就是面对他，说真话天塌不下来，还有这个故事的设定，有点百年孤独的感觉，这个马德里，我差点听成马孔多！两位姐妹对那位男子爱，也像阿玛兰妲和丽贝卡！这故事总的来说差点意思，如果人物再少点，戏份再打磨一下，或许还会更好
不知道为什么给这样的低分。我和泽一起看的，非常喜欢。电影仿佛隐喻了一个原本可以幸福的家庭，无论他们拥有财富或是才华，让人们可以在别人眼里非常完美的家庭，但却为了某种压力而累，没有魔法也一样可以过上很好的生活，最终那个没有魔法的米拉贝发现了这一切，并拯救了家族。适合与孩子一起看，让他发现生活的意义。
引进的话该译作《魔屋奇缘》，迪士尼正常发挥。
迪士尼煽情的功力依旧，虽然，但是在电影院听歌看着眼花缭乱的画面还是被戳到眼泪汪汪的。南美大陆的故事的核心就是Family. 一大群家人住在一起的那种family…… 要怎么做才是对这个家庭有利的，希望与此同时别忘了问一问当事人真正的意愿。虽然，但是这一家子人物的故事，结束之后只记住了布鲁诺的名字，其他人你们叫啥来着？😂 戴眼镜的主角。
