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".
像是老朋友聚会一样，偶尔给个电影版你去怀念。大小姐还是charming！
A new era：the modern world came to Downtown!掌舵手老夫人去世，一个时代画上句号，2个小时里，我们沐浴在南法的阳光大海里，亦沉浸在唐顿旖旎的旧梦里。电影照进唐顿里，唐顿照进我们的现实里，两相呼应，恍如一梦。从让人难以喘息的现实中出逃，在这场绮梦里避难的我在影院后排泪流满面。
即便都已预料到，但最后一场戏还是哭死，一个时代的终结，和新生命的开始。抛开粉丝滤镜，这片最多值三星，真的拍得不像电影，Downton始终还是适合电视剧，我不能说它拍得粗糙，服化道还是一流的，但整个摄影剪辑就非常简单，流水线制作感。剧情上两条线之间也没关联，每一个角色都各司其职，现在Downton真的越来越好猜了，粉丝想要什么抓马，它就喂给你什么。
6.5/10 " 距上次在影院里看唐顿庄园故事的银幕首秀已经过去了三个年头，这批集结在一起的最具代表性的英国演员们在这部电影续集中仍然保持着他/她们的独有的魅力与风韵，并通过接踵而至的""人生大事""赋予了这段极具时代精神的本土家族史诗一种更绵长的生命力。片中开篇的婚礼与结尾的丧葬形成了奇妙的对照关系，一面是告别欢乐宴席的坦然，一面是迎接忧愁寂寞的释怀。在庄园建筑悠长历史投射的阴翳之下，这份""人情""显得温暖而珍贵。
第一次面对十二鬼月级别的鬼。
还不错的，之前一直在追电视剧版，现在这个也很好看，值得一看。
看到我的Edith不仅家庭幸福生活美满，还没有被伯爵夫人的title禁锢，重新做起了撰稿人和编辑，写文章，摄影，运营报社……就觉得好开心。整个Downton系列最喜欢的就是二小姐，当把自己困囿于别人给予的关注与爱里，收获的只会是患得患失，只有自己找寻到人生的意义，精神独立地生活，才能不畏旁人目光，活得精彩活得开心。这是她教会我的道理。很高兴有Edith陪我度过漫长岁月，再见啦！
"stop that noise,I can't hear myself die"
为了让它更像一部电影，在情节结构上做了有限的努力：从婚礼开始、以葬礼结束，从默片时代到有声电影时代。我知道它不是一部好电影，但在老太太离世的段落还是哭得泪流满面。从第一部开始就在极力渲染的离别情绪，时至今日，似乎必须正式向那个以优雅高贵的典范与惯例为日常生活方式的时代告别。黄金时代的落幕，像是在唐顿庄园的外墙遍洒余晖，而漏雨的屋顶则要伴随着新生活的改变，被填补，被覆盖。祝福遥远的人和生活，在看不清未来的New Era.
"Stop the noise--I can't hear myself die."
比前作更明显和遍在的自我颠覆，虽然解构本身多少就意味着是自恋的。A decent British ending; though I’m using both adjectives in a way I’m equivocal about right now.
不怕追求与梦想发生偏差，就怕没有了追求梦想的活力与勇气。
评分是挺高的但是，为什么评论都不太好我觉得还可以呀没有辜负我
剧情一般 甚至有点俗套 想说类似英国版的红楼梦 可是内涵还是远远不及红楼梦 亮点在于风景和服化道 如果只是想体验一下英式贵族生活那还挺好的
Granny的离世宣告了一个系列的结束；四角俱全的努力，八方都照顾到也基本上都蜻蜓点水，很多角色都没正经台词和decent银幕时间。大表姐、二表姐都与时俱进，老爷有点儿返老还童（身世疑云弄得人都失态了），大姐夫只存在于台词里，三妹夫等于和唐家屯没啥关系了，最后抱孩子来聚集众人实在有点儿不自然。小火车颜值回升啊！（星星眼）——（6/10演技状态也恢复到剧集时期了，各种微妙精细的小表情小眼神，太舒服了）但是一点儿有意思的情节故事都没有，才认识一个月就要跟人跑？！Poor thing, doomed in this life. 电影院里全是“唐铁粉”，旁边坐着一个特意请假来的（不让买隔座位的票！）结束后，字幕都出完了，后面还有人意犹未尽地巴拉巴拉唐家屯回顾呢（等得清洁小哥无可奈何的）。（5/20）
比上一部好很多，拍电影和继承南法别墅两个事件都很讨巧，充满了欢乐和温暖。对粉丝尤其友好，cue到了很多前情，让人无限怀念巅峰时期离开的二小姐和大表哥。看之前并没有什么期待，但看完之后还是希望这个电影版能继续拍下去，让观众关于唐顿庄园的记忆能不断被唤起，并延续下去。
太碎了，格调也没延续好，开篇婚礼那幕镜头切得乱七八糟，瞪大眼睛才能找到一两个公爵和Mary 的镜头，更衣室的故事也几乎没有，电影剧组进入、老夫人的秘密这些框架原地保留，执行按剧版拍不会这么糟糕的。最后还是为老夫人的离去感到伤感，但是因为人物都被打散了，这种伤感也没汇集成一股力量。很可惜，看来是最后一部了。
人事来来往往，唐顿庄园依然屹立在那里。一个时代就这样落幕了。
最后兄妹两个人，也是一起走，太好了~
最近可以说是中了《唐顿庄园》的毒，因为电影版第二部又上映了。这个华服霓裳的故事，又续写了。看完以后让人不胜唏嘘。如果将来还拍电视剧集版，奶奶的去世，会影响电视剧集的剧情走向吗？我还一度以为这就是整个故事的大结局。
