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".
知道他怕黑 夜里发出光亮可也太暖心了呜呜呜
73/100。挺喜欢电影的前半部分的。一个内向的孩子并不是不想要朋友，他们也很渴望朋友。离家出走去森林那段很符合一个孩子的幻想。后半段把重心放在了网络化社交对孩子们的影响，这是一个很好的主题，但可惜后半段剧情没有处理好。就不提Ron不得不“死”这种bug了，我一直期待女主能有什么亮眼的情节，但最终只是个工具人，平平淡淡，还没有Rich亮眼。不过总体来说影片还是很有诚意的，也是值得孩子们一看的影片。
探索什么是真正的友谊，反思现代社会人类深陷社交网络不可自拔的现状。就像现在的我们，只会盯着手机屏幕，忘了去认识屏幕以外那些实实在在的人。高科技造福人类生活，但也有时候也让我们失去了一些东西。题材不算新鲜，但故事还是讲得不错的。Ron在床底下发光这幕太暖了，想起Baymax了，它就是小白了，喜欢这种与众不同、有可爱个性的机器人，喜欢日常生活出现反套路的事物，太有意思了，是异类又怎样！
无孔不入的大数据，网络时代社恐的新兴一族，以及对人工智能的依赖与焦虑。只能说是合格但无新意的爆米花片。三星半。PS，老美真的能接受鸡爪子吗？
虽然有影射苹果的赶脚，但是真的真的很感人啊~太棒了好嘛！科技改变了我们的交友方式，但是我想我们每个人还是终将需回归现实的。
正好刚被“朋友”演了看了这个电影哈哈哈哈，特别讽刺。人与人之间的真诚呢，不如机器人。
有寓意。大人动画，探讨了友情，科技的未来。是好看的
美国动画长片风格的作品，聚焦点很社会化，能看到导演把库克给玩了一把，同时更指出了高科技长假安排对孩子、友谊、乃至人际关系的破坏。最终的结局很温暖人心，我也希望以后孩子的生活能多接触人，而不是冷冰冰的机器。
有bug的机器人有了自己的想法，成为了人类的朋友，然后复制出无数的机器人成为无数小朋友的朋友。有独立思考的才能称为朋友。
利益驱使世界顶流科技公司创造交友人工智能，却阻碍了真实世界里的社交活动。巴尼最后被离线的B宝治愈了，所以人工智能中离经叛道、不墨守成规的阿荣成了最珍贵的那一个。那么话说回来，做一个能和自己自在相处、内心充满爱的能量而不伍世俗的社恐儿童，又有什么错呢？
一切都在标准化，什么都越来越像，连眼镜熊都大多长得差不多，圆寸、黑框眼镜、络腮胡，在这个求同存异的世界里，如果什么都一样，那也太无趣了
是不能细思否则会极恐的拍给合家欢的喜剧动画，无论是机器人设定还是friendship theme都已经是陈年的cliche,好在氛围营造的不错，所以笑点还是有的。电影后半段逃往树林剧情开始后有种隐隐崩盘的迹象，但是这种kids friendly童话总会强行大团圆。那些迷恋technology和social media的孩子总会turn out to be fine,那些被cyber bully或者网络影响下容貌焦虑的青少年也不会self harming,因为我们要相信友谊和梦想不是么？哪怕这让我们变得多么虚伪。
前半段很好 Ron太可爱 奶奶的设定很有意思（）后面剧情有点强行，生凑大场面做高潮的感觉。还有迪士尼这样黑库克没问题吗
3.5星吧。影片对白十分简单，我用的是机翻字幕，后来几乎不用看也能听懂。对于故障的AIBOT的描绘过于美好了，比起一个算法文件缺失的BOT，它更像一个智力不高的人类，在这种包装下影片顺水推舟地讨论了朋友、社交、成长、亲子关系等话题。故事比较老套，除了角色的感情刻画是重点还不错外，冲突部分也过于童话了。但是有一句台词我印象很深刻，那就是“孩子也会用他们的方式保护父母”。这句话对我的冲击远超该片其它的所有内容，亲子问题由来已久也有过太多的讨论，大多数都是站在某一方的角度来要求另一方改变，但是这句话好比是有个第三方，他同时看到了两方的矛盾与统一，给了看待这个问题的独特视角或者说关注到了其中容易被人忽视的一个细节。
小白东西好玩是挺好玩的 前面不正常的时候真的让人抓狂啊 最后为啥就消失了呢 为啥其他小朋友就突然变了呢
友谊是什么呢?
从此无处不在的不仅有老露西，还有loonybbox
动画片里面的结局总是好的。
3.5 很暖很感人 讽刺得也很棒 私自窃取用户隐私信息 网络的匿名性 网络暴力…有些桥段还是太幼稚太套路了 结尾小白消失也有点强行了 而且整体创新不够多 明明是帮助人们社交的工具最后却阻碍了人们社交 小白很可爱
缩小版大白——小白，后半段加速刹不住车了。
