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".
回归之作，感觉还是做了很多工作的，不论是影视上的还是篮球上的。
6#筐出未来 2022.01.22点映
曾经一直在嘲讽的喜羊羊系列，也一样坚持到了今天有了独有的光芒，和我们一样喜欢篮球那些孩子们，也都长大了。（看来这个时代篮球世界最让人过不去的一个点，就是格林跟杜兰特说了那句话。）
这部电影在观看的过程中最大的感觉是绝望。那是一种没有希望，无力感遍布全身，折磨着自己，也折磨着别人，满身愧疚的感觉。
吃了安利看的，剧情真的好燃！热爱你所热爱的，「梦想」这个主题，永远都能打动我心……
作为篮球题材的体育电影，其实可以跳脱出原有IP，好好整一部。明明关于篮球的内容看着还蛮专业的，但是狼羊虎这些来打，多少有些怪，跟印象里的“喜灰”系列完全不一样。这样其实也蹭不到什么IP热度，而且这样老粉也get什么情怀，新粉未必对喜灰感兴趣
漆黑的夜空中有最亮的仙后座为我指路，茫茫的人群中有父亲的关心，父亲的耐心，父亲的爱让我不在惧怕遗忘。是，还是会忘记，但心中已经养成的身体反射，让我知道他还在身边，就不用害怕。徐玄振的演技太棒了，有爆发力，也能很好的收住，每一滴眼泪都滴在了心上，女儿抓住胳膊的一霎那，真的哇的一下哭出来了。今天苏州在下雨，可以用力的哭一次。
生活并不是所有都是苦难，它也有美好的一面等你去发掘，生病并不可怕，可怕的是你肯定没有一个好的心态去面对它。
看着一个曾经那么鲜活的人逐渐退化成婴儿行为心里真的很难受
电影整体上还不错，《绝杀慕尼黑》同款结局。
PS：懒羊羊好帅，班长好暖，社畜灰太狼的铁公鸡老板亮眼。
还是原来的声音。
剧情中规中矩，老套能猜到。
舍弃生肖计划，单纯从篮球组织故事，也算是另谋出路了，灰太狼早已不再吃羊，动物们完全拟人化，篮球比赛本身充满了不可预知，要发挥每一只羊的长处，达成众羊一条心，给灰太狼和对手都有足够的证明自己的机会，怎么去赢看得出花费了心思。
其实，一眼看中海报呢，细看没那两个小的就好了？🌝🌝适合小朋友吧，我还是喜欢小时候的版本。
3.暗线被主线完全掩盖，读书与打球以及追求梦想这个部分要么高明地铺陈，要么压根别提。
剧情意外地不低智，成年人也很适合看，剧情融合了很多当代元素，所以看起来并不有割裂感，比如外卖啊，视频通话，梦想，父子关系……故事说普通也普通，但是真的燃起来啦！很热血，看得我都一阵感动
节奏还不错的其实，就是NBA和灌篮高手的各种融梗。
还是过于温和了，那个病人家属真强奸了女主可能会好点🤔
虎翼的crossover是艾弗森本人来打1v1脚踝也要先被终结的水平
