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".
第一次看懂法式幽默，居然能把疫情隔离的生活拍得如此欢乐😃向所有团结在一起的人们致敬～
好无聊硬着头皮看完 现在正在隔离的我毫无共鸣 照他们这样隔离一栋楼但凡有一个人确诊整栋感染
3.5。“航拍的那些景色真的好美，在结局到来之前的剧情都太轻巧幽默了，楼里的主要角色就是社会小缩影:过度焦虑的插画师，染上甜品变得大腹便便的健身教练，创作疫情歌曲涨粉18万的过气歌手，被迫关掉酒吧却把酒精做成消毒洗手液的酒吧老板，还有研究疫苗的科学家、急症室医生和新冠确诊家属……虽然很法国，但也很接近我们的生活。
那个防疫过度的男人做了很多我内心的小人做过的事情
世界大抵相似。抢卫生纸抢消毒液，两个人同时开视频会互相串声，以及看东京塔点亮蓝色灯光和ARIGATO。东京、巴黎，大都市又迈着步伐继续向前，但却有那么多人，永远地留在了从前的那些季节。
有一些小细节挺能引起共鸣的，衔接和逻辑就算了，结尾人家死了你们一起唱听我说谢谢你，我直接掐人中好吗
各种cliche和想象得到的点。。刻意想搞笑。。哎。下饭都不行
小孩在阳台上用影子交流那段很喜欢。每个人对疫情的态度都不太一样，但重要的不是个体差异，而是整体环境（即大多数人的态度），当环境里大家都不太在意，一个人在意也是没用的。反之也是一样。挺温情，挺好的。
没有主线的情景喜剧。 唯一的亮点是医生那句“我在你的鼻子里装了一个win”。
虽然故事线不是非常明晰，但是这个设定，这个画风，这个音乐，这个配音，我真的没办法不给五星。
没有讲好先生和汐华两个人的羁绊之如何建立的
“新”生代笑匠出道即巅峰，之后的作品热闹有余风光不再，本片的题材非常讨巧，先加0.75星，实体影院被新冠整得奄奄一息，不知除了奈飞是否同步上院线，尽管剧情有些注水，仍有很BOON的笑点，让俺们一块笑对疫情，携手前行。
真的很法国，不是刻板印象，之前好奇会怎么拍隔离生活，后来看真的有反抗者，对疫苗质疑，动物实验的阴暗面，出门找各种理由。哈哈哈哈。影子秀很戳很好玩，没有刻意大团圆很棒，生活不是事事顺心，他们晚八点鼓掌是真的敬意，医疗工作者，隔离期间生活工作上的不顺.......换一个角度看问题。
疫情期间的微缩场景，结局有小小的遗憾，但整体还是大团圆的走向。神经紧张的插画家，隔离会火的健身教练，科学怪人科学家，全场最可爱Lily，有工作日常，有熟悉的职场人际，有小阁楼里的局促和无奈。在某一个点有所反转，健身教练狂吃奶油，幕后孕妇突然涨粉，跋扈的有钱人反思自己的错误，神经质的被害妄想开始理解家人，但是这个点有点突然，神经质把妻子赶到门外过夜真的很过分啊，然后突然就能理解了，节奏感觉有点快。但整体还是会有一点小温暖。
距离未见的会产生美，它只会带来陌生与冷漠。
超出预想 不错的封城期法式小品 一纸禁令让平时冷漠疏离自顾不暇的巴黎居民楼内反而有了温度 Dany Boon拍这种虽冒着cliché的傻气却也不乏笑点与温情的喜剧是最手到擒来的 以及空无一人的街景真美 像件限时存在的绝世艺术品 (胖乎乎的豚鼠被科学家按压的时候的时候还吐出小舌头可爱死我算了)
搞笑的一部电影，很贴切，就是我们身边的故事我们的邻居。又想到那年在巴黎民宿住的也有这样一个庭院，可惜那时忙着出门看风景了，没有好好享受一下，一晃快10年了，时光飞逝呀……
有一兩個看不懂的設定，但是不影響她的驚艷啊
走错电影院，全程看特效，说明魔法最强啊。。
一黑一白两个身影穿行在草丛中的那一刻，突然就落泪了，莫名的感动
