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".
素食主义=食草动物，肉食主义=食肉动物，如果能够多一点隐喻就好了
今年最可爱的同影出现了，来自菲律宾的《游戏男孩》大电影，从剧集衍生而来，在发糖的同时也讲了两个男孩冲突家庭束缚的自我认可，最后终于性福了，而且是同类电影里好难得的互攻，冲这一点再加一星，四星推荐，喜欢同影的别错过，绝对可爱到你。
真·一镜到底，这个本身就保证了剧情的连贯和紧张（全程都在找剪辑点？人家关上门的时候镜头都在动），再加上一个在重压下焦躁不安的主角，一个半小时真是很快就过去了
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈把素食人权性少数全骂秃了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈看样子他们自己都快受不了政治正确了😜
8分。一如既往的法式幽默，大胆又细腻，配乐跟摄影都是精致的。如果从无关吃人的内容来看，也看到很多夫妻相处之道，有什么比两个人为同一个目标互相协力更有爱呢。
我认为这部剧始终的信息是，男孩们的爱情里，即刻即永恒。外在压力压缩了我对你爱意的表达空间，但是我仍然要尽全力和你心意交融，所以相伴的每一刻我都是全部的我自己，放松而坦荡。
7 邪点黑色幽默爽片 素食主义者变身伊朗猪 动物世界那段绝对小高潮 法国电影还是先锋
终于在一起了，我的两个babbbbbby
有点尴尬，不过不影响整体观感。在海边，躺在沙滩上好美，好诱人，很美好，不以疫情为背景，就更好了。故事虽然很老套，但挺清新的。
以前总觉得颜值高剧才会好看，是我偏见了，演技绝真的可以忽略颜值，并且最后让我觉得他俩颜值很可！
被开头劝退了两次，太腻歪了😂结果发现我错了。剧情演技真不错。好看。越看越好看。强烈安利。
7.3血淋淋的R级片，编剧导演就是那个秃顶的屠夫，法国人真敢拍，关键是各种暗讽，还是有点私货的，人肉叉烧包深入人心啊这些不少老外要找来看看了吧
依旧可可爱爱俩小哭包 他俩在某些桥段的演技真的好自然 特别是得知myra阿姨患病后那个相拥而泣的部分
爱了，爱了，没看的都给我看上！
4.5！！！首先一镜的手法就要给大分！再加上所有人的完美演技+怼在你面前的精神压力啊啊啊啊啊
菲律宾天花板 第二季赶快上！快点见面啊！！！！！！！

（太棒了电影版也能看到我最爱的珍珠女孩😭）
色调很喜欢，复古粘腻，配乐很应景。尤其两个人合唱的时候，真的想说，这才算有效煽情。“不要以神的名义来表达自己的厌恶之情”，即使下地狱也是他们自己的事，能体会cario的被否定，甚至被诅咒的感觉，的确需要好久才能恢复。没有任何人可以诅咒你怎样，爱只是爱，即使是恋人也不可以。
一开始有点劝退。但是后面再看觉得还好，导演这种视频沟通的拍摄手法还挺新鲜的。
