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".
慕着监督名声被带着去看的w
表现力是真的好，哎但整体差那么一点点🤏歌舞篇里的歌曲画面没有加持作用，之前的歌舞都能很好地利用周边场景，这一篇看起来花花绿绿全是烟雾弹…可神奇的是电影整个家族设置我都怀疑是不是看了我家谱哈哈哈，我外婆就是这样，一个人拉扯2个女儿一个儿子，儿子后来在外。外婆本人比电影人物还倔强，说一不二没人敢反抗，我小时候和外婆一起住，她是真的很讨厌我，但喜欢姐姐，所以我特别懂女主🥲总是尽力做到最好让外婆可以满意，后来也是一场大争执和解了，现在和外婆关系挺亲密，所以这个剧情要说烂但也挺符合我的认知哈哈哈哈
是你，ai智能歌姬。跳舞作画一流，编剧实在是一言难尽。
不知道这片想表达什么，强大的力量被少数人掌握是可怕的，还以为电影能说点啥但连一句你也是凡人的耳语都算不上。歌还挺好听的。老抱怨国产片不管地点人人一嘴大城市养尊处优的口音，外国动画片也一样啊。
迪斯尼继续试图收编负面能量，但就是不肯真正正视它
青少年童话，歌声萌萌哒，逻辑不能太追究。
只能说，酌情观看吧……反正我不推荐
好看诶！迪士尼歌舞剧也可以讲一个可爱又完整的故事 不是为了歌舞而歌舞（空手道大哥有点可怜 呜呜呜
歌很棒，已经完全被诗音迷住了
我以为最后结局是，主角终于被赋予了什么天选超能力 or 全家失去超能力，自食其力。为什么最后的结局对米拉贝和舅舅还很不公平？西班牙元素体现的很少，更像是套了个壳子。迪士尼给编剧的钱太少了吧。
老套的人工智能套路，还以为是美日合拍，太迪士尼了，连价值观都是一样一样的，歌舞跟《龙和雀斑公主》有得一拼。月亮公主的梗太过平淡，小转折也只是一点小感动。后面半小时实在没坚持住，睡着了。6
不过前面是歌舞片的风格，后面直接变迪士尼了。整挺好的，歌舞也可以遮盖一些剧情的不足。
柔道部分的演出是亮点，不过我更想看月亮公主
给满五星是因为tao酱的声音太太太太太优秀了！！！！！！了不起😭
新世纪校园科幻Vivy之印度歌舞伎町之漢人思维AI老母亲超克缺乏校园喜剧在海里沉沉浮浮的立本动画。
吉浦康裕版童话电影，内涵深度不及细田守，大河内一楼挺擅长群像剧除了大人。日常的摇晃镜头和优秀分镜以及不知道啥气候人设会崩虚假现实，观感真的比泡泡好
单纯美满地讲了一个家庭故事，叙事没大毛病，情感流露自然且强烈，眼睛会不自觉地湿润，迪士尼已经越来越像皮克斯了。其实和皮克斯一些拉胯的片已经半斤八两了。
要用奇迹拯救奇迹。这什么？奇迹套娃吗？
而且影片的核心本是每个人不应被贴上标签，不应被gift所局限，但由于讲述手法的轻描淡写，角色最后还是以标签的样子留在了观众的记忆里。
