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".
我太难过了，我能为你们做什么，我能为我们做什么？什么是女巫，什么是疯女人？在我们背后有多少女性伫立，有多少强大的女性化成守护灵？我们的身体，我们的灵魂，我们的故事，一切是怎样发生的，又将如何被讲述？“为什么相信上帝没问题，相信鬼魂却不可以？”也许上帝和鬼魂分别是阳与阴的两面，共同组成一个更高的维度，那地上跑的，大声宣传的，主宰着所谓的光明；那不被允许讨论的，暗处流传的，也将默默延续。痛恨一部分人控制另一部分人的所有道义，中世纪精神疗法、政治的武德、政策的制定………希望更高维度的世界得以被呈现。
阴暗、寒冷、深深的无力感。
尝试代入女人们的视角，被剥夺，被压迫，被虐待，被侮辱的人们的视角
一群自以为是的男医生随意地用所谓的女疯子做着各种实验，显示自己的学识和能力。女护士们是坚定的执行者，甚至有人借机以折磨病人为乐。被关起来的疯子却治愈着身边的茫然活着的正常人，让她内心得到自由，疯子身体得到自由，一起强大。根据记载那个时代欧洲疯人院多到惊人，满足了很多人的“需要”。
见鬼照第六感差，同情病人的医生被疯，比第六病室差，被疯女性的苦难，比红颜劫差。。。看着有点BORING，搞得像命题作文、诉苦大会。。。能不能像白毛女一样编个好故事？
看那些巨大的蜡橡树，这该是以咖啡区金迪奥省徒步圣地珂珂拉山谷为背景原型，创造出来的魔法世界吧。场景很迷人、魔法很脑洞，林聚聚的拉丁风配曲创作，甚至比他同样曲风的《身在高地》还好听，故事却打一开始就能看到结尾，平庸了。
这里的大前提是 女主真的能同亡者交流。那如果她不带任何特异功能仅仅是一个歇斯底里患者呢？ 舞会一年又一年的聚餐 医生的实验对象换了一批又一批 靠着这样一个带着点神秘主义的女性来高举‘觉醒’的大旗 多少有点令人沮丧。
两个女主都很喜欢，最后被两个自由的灵魂惺惺相惜所感动~~~
家族里的每个人都拥有魔法，没有魔法的我就成了异类。当魔法逐渐消退，拥有魔法的人终于开始恐慌。虽然我不能搬运石桥和驴子，无法让丛林花草焕发生机，不会和动物对话，无法让天气变晴。但我可以预知大厦将倾，魔法失效，我愿意为了拯救家族去勇敢冒险，最大的魔法是面对未知世界的勇气和对家人的爱。
被打上标签之后，人生很有可能就不是自己的了。所谓命运，并不是人人都有勇气去对抗的东西。
整体情节上还是有些比较欠考虑的地方，但一个个鲜活的生命被权贵们当成玩偶供人把玩这一点还是讽刺出了一些味道的，个人觉得题目改成《疯女人》会好些。（7.5/10）
梅拉尼导片的风格还蛮统一，但较之前作并无突破。
是一部很美的电影。对于charcot医生的诠释和正统的医学教育大相径庭，不过想想时代是慢慢发展的，也许当年就是电影中这样。对不可知的世界心怀敬畏，可能不只是精神科大夫的职业道德。
这可能是迪斯尼目前为止对女性最真诚与赞扬的作品了！歌颂了母系社会的伟大！这个世界终究是靠母亲的力量在前行，每个人获得的最大的能量是源自于母爱的伟大，是母亲的力量让每个子女获得了天赋异禀的礼物，是爱建立起来了小镇，建立起来国家。歌舞片段衔接非常流畅，用一个家族的破裂背后的伤痛走出看到希望的故事告诉大家，美满家庭的力量有多大。（其实不太爱结局，如果结尾可以改成魔法消失变成普通人，但是一家人欢乐会更好~
导演 演员都很好
谁又能说谁是疯了呢，医生为了所谓研究，残害多少女子。
历史上女人倒霉的黑时代不少，疯人院算是比较仁慈的一个了，毕竟当时背景都快20世纪了，故事性价值比较低，再加之半记传半纪录的演绎方式，不好看
压抑，背景到情节到色调都压迫灵魂。虽然有些地方的色彩觉得还能做的更好，但是大体的色彩都很棒，构图很喜欢。另外两位主演都好漂亮好有气质，美女
只能说影片的魅力主要依赖于两位女主，梅兰妮真是标准的冷美人
一如既往的顶尖计算机动画表现力和浓妆艳抹最强烈的美术实力，搭配程式化的剧本一条龙模式，采风第三世界异族他乡的风俗怪物，再搭配迪士尼专属的传统正能量梦想之叙事，最后邀请一流的艺术家为其谱写奏乐。
