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".
舞出我人生 Magic Mike 到dog又是一次好题材
钱老版脖子粗，演技更粗，没有狗狗演得好。
火灾背景、男主不时的头疼、大脑电流声、莫名暴躁、哮喘、各种情况不明断断续续的电话，让我一度以为这部电影是生死停留类型，结果整场就是主演的独角戏。人设有些暴，加上杰克演技不够稳和沉，就让这个人物更加咋呼，剧情也显得不合情理，观众看得也烦躁。如果真是生死停留类型剧本和人物倒是通顺了
——主角是谁？
狗砸可爱，剧情中规中矩，Portland怪里怪气
钱老板挺不挑还能给狗狗做配，结果当然了狗是最可爱演技最好的，其他人都无所谓。。。
没想到还挺好的。原来现在军警很讨厌别人说thank you for your service. 真的时代变了，以前的电影里，别人不说他们还会挑理。现在他们也意识到这话有讽刺和轻视的意思，于是又不想听了。觉得查宁塔图姆有潜力，他好像一开始扮演的角色就是比较女性友好的，他还是适合喜剧啊。觉得是不是中间有一个更戏剧化的点，来表现男主意识到自己和狗是一样的，是被用后即弃的，是不是会更好呢？另外动物电影的结尾没有几个能超过野马那个升华吧，这个有点遗憾。可能就是野马的升华在于一种悲剧的不可能，男主意识到自己是没法“变好”没法适应正常生活了，悲剧和遗憾给人的刺痛比一个看似和解的结局带给人的安慰总是要更加绵长。
一颗给豆腐，一颗给你白，一颗给七一，一颗给miumiu，电影给-2颗，拍的是个啥玩意？
有狗狗的电影怎么会不好看，狗子演技绝了，身材线条也特别棒。一人一狗的公路电影，两个都有战后ptsd的退役兵，最后在旅行中相互救赎了。意义不错的影片，风景美，奎宁真是不错。
不能只想看Channing Tatum演Magic Mike 3，而不想看他演有PTSD的退伍军人！
我昏昏欲睡………故事就很浅啊，就不知道怎么然后就互相救赎了。或许人类就是很needy动物，需要被需要，需要那点拯救了什么的感觉。
channing and veteran k9 on a road trip to find mutual bond and heal each other.
警察 火災 媒體 司法 精神病 官僚和醫保 太操蛋了 broken people saving broken people is not enough
30岁生日老公请我去看的电影，当时电影放映打出的译名是《逍遥上路》，我用不解的眼神看了他两分钟🙄
每每被狗拉入陈旧故事，真的，对我来说，没有不可爱的狗
还有就是男主去找女儿她们，没多久又出来，电影没有拍细节，但是也让人可以联想到具体发生了什么，留白挺好的。
大脑受伤的老兵和应激后遗症的狗，天生注定要走到一起。犬似主人形，一种玄学但很准。
一人一狗的自我救赎之旅！我们这些没有经历过战争的人，永远也无法理解战争带来的伤害
很平静的电影。镜头非常漂亮，全程不知道该看狗还是该看人，钱老板演军人真是越演越帅，电影里他也跟军犬一样，PTSD是最万能的感情调剂药。
美国连爆米花商业电影都能拍的好看 就是单纯好看 忠犬就是最大泪点
