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".
让我统计这些彩票估计一个小时我眼睛就花了……
大卫弗兰克尔类型片功力深厚，感觉这片结尾缺点hitpoint，太平淡，前半段很棒，一对退休老大爷夫妇愣是拍出了邦妮克莱德劫匪搭档的感觉。能用自己的能力照顾身边的人甚至整个社区的感觉真棒，两个主演平淡自然。
表演配乐故事节奏主线支线都在线，原以为绝命毒师老了成疯狂赌徒，没想到人家是天赋异禀，不仅化学学的好，数学也是相当可以，但能够利用天赋与人交流，造福整个小镇的事件还是少数，钱说到底还是没有人重要，让钱为我所用，有用才对
超级喜欢的退休生活态度，有趣又暖心的故事，冒险永远不会晚！另外数学好还真管用啊！
2700万刀啊啧啧啧就喜欢看聪明人玩聪明人
一场还富于民的童话，竟然是真人真事改编，一出可爱的美好生活记录，也许大部分人都只是想要简简单单的好好生活，发挥些许自我价值，只是大部分人又相互认为对方价值匮乏！每个人都有价值，哪怕看似废材，每个小镇都是有价值的，哪怕看起来萧瑟颓败，生活的盼头与愉快心情，才是人生的全部
有些任务和使命或许是不值得完成的 @ AMC Bay Terrace
小人物反向剥削资本家的故事总是被人们喜欢 就像大家都喜欢劫富济贫的枭雄 这个电影中配角的塑造很差 主要表现为 反派太过纯粹的坏 大学生和主角之间没有观念上的不同 只不过是大学生纯粹的坏而已 反派没有“人性” 反派的结局也就没有让人有代入感 男主的儿子这个角色也过于工具 且非常单薄 主角决定反击的行动竟然是靠这个单薄的角色的两句话
在最先进的国家你永远永远永远不可能钻当权者的空子，除非你是当权者
理想中的爱情！！！！/只要你我拥有彼此，我们就不怕犯错/他终于可可以利用自己的天赋与人沟通了
试飞太多次穿越过度错过了挚友，然后与挚友的孙女结成搭档，真就平行世界史蒂夫
我看到的：钱在别人那怎么就那么好赚我什么时候能暴富
很俗套的故事，但是Sox真的好可爱！请迪斯尼批量生产！
一部关于空间的电影。幽闭恐惧其实是一种修辞，阿娜伊斯宁愿奔跑、爬楼，也不愿陷入安稳却封闭，甚至要承受凝视的电梯。开场拖房租的戏，阿娜伊斯以近乎赖皮的方式，争夺和维护着生活空间。所以，她不是陷入爱情，而是以她横冲直撞推土机一样的行动力建造爱情。然而这种疾风般的索取势头意味着压迫性，势必导致亲密关系的紧张乃至断裂。“我不同意”能化解分手演说谱写一段续曲，但这注定不是最终结局。也想到《世界上最糟糕的人》，阿娜伊斯在电影里不断跑啊跑，尤利娅则跑上了海报，两个女性形象的处世方式，可互相参照。
可以考虑把巴斯光年达到光速后的内容全部剪去，俗套无逻辑
蛮有趣的故事片，节奏把握不错，老戏骨接这种片子也算是在享受“黄金岁月”吧；真正的友好邻居大爷，带领全镇发家致富，福利彩票宣传片。
以及，对擅长数学的人进一步崇拜。
2.5 真的太太太太普通了，看到开头就能想到结尾
当你以为你能看得更多时，往往你反而看得更少了。
对我这个年龄的人来说很有意思。退休后利用自己的专长迎来了人生高光时刻！很有趣！
