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".
无论如何，不要放弃写作。我们活着，就是在不断接受一些意料之外的事。
70分/很华丽，故事也还不错，但有些说不上的别扭
恐惧还是爱，你选择哪个？亲爱的，别急着说出答案，因为选择和行动胜过言语，它们决定了你是谁。
讲述了唐顿的辞旧迎新，没有冲突，也没有大反派，一切都是原来的配方（啥时候能有完整版公开啊，小火车的离职真是太突兀了
哭了!我的老夫人😭😭.熟悉的BGM响起，我的眼泪止不住啊。早期拍摄电影的场景结合唐顿庄园的转型以及平民阶层的登场，随着老夫人的离去，一个时代永久地落幕了。好想再看看我们人见人爱的大小姐。
肉眼可见的剪了众所周知的部分。还是谢谢青天大老爷放行，有得看总比没有强。 （smirk*
当你看一个电视剧足够久，久到不管是你还是戏里的人生都在经历太多的变迁离别，就会很难不去看它，也很难放手。其实这部想堆叠的元素有点多，整个plot显得很破碎，但是不管如何，他们就像是存在在那里真实存在的人一样。从我高中第一次打开Downton到现在。人总是要告别，因为时间在流逝。这也是一个，好的句点吧。
老夫人去世，临死还来了一个桃花事件，额外得到一棟法国的别墅，主人心甘情愿给。玛丽参与电影制作了，剧情没有1好玩
几多欢喜，几多愁。——致永恒的伯爵夫人维奥莱特
太好看了，old money VS new money
纯粉丝滤镜才能看，不然甚至不太能算作一个电影
我真的很喜欢这剧的感觉，富丽堂皇，森严优雅但是又很温馨，大家都有美好未来。
Tomas出场的几次，连背景音乐都是暧昧，结果最关键的一幕给我整个一剪没。但不管怎样，又是经历了一次唐顿的花开花落。
We all finally find our best ending.
又回到俺滴英格兰唐顿老家，每个人都看着好亲切。老夫人和Thomas，这整个系列塑造得最成功的两个角色，是新时代却也是一个时代的终结。老夫人的金句直到最后一刻也在带来智慧。Thomas这个一开始令人恨到发抖，最后看到他却有了家人般的安心感，却因为不可言说的原因被剥夺了结局和一个配得上他的告别，我真的会恨！以及马修古迪这个只会开车不着家的渣男，却要大小姐拒绝hugh dancy这种帅哥，暴殄天物啊！真的太喜欢hugh的声音了！还好harry戏份不少让我心生欢喜！唐顿对我来说真的是像梦中的精神家园一样的存在，虽然剧情线也不得不顺应时代，让庄园的生活面对各种新时代的冲击和挑战，可是真的希望时间停止，再梦久一点，真的会怕进入二战时期的唐顿呜呜呜
气死我了！删了5分钟Barrow和男演员的同性戏！呃呃呃呃啊啊！！（深呼吸）Anyways, 神秘的5分钟，四个月后咱们网盘见吧。我觉得这一部无论是叙事还是摄影都比第一部更好，很喜欢拍电影的情节，但不太明白开头婚礼后Tom和Lucy不是离开了庄园吗，后来怎么又一起去了法国？最后应该是ultimate ending了吧……唉，Granny R.I.P. ps呜呜呜想在大银幕上看大表哥丹叔，不过能看到休叔也很满足了～好，我这个假粉决定开始补剧啦！
即使早就弃剧（不是因为质量，是我太爱大表哥）再次回到唐顿，看见亲切的角色们依旧是感概万千啊！真好看！真好看
虽然有可能是又双叒恶删了，Thomas迟来的幸福都让刚过去的LGBTQIA日没有那么透明，祝福他，这个鲜少体会幸福的人。
再看，无论什么剧情，无论什么表演，看的就只有情怀了。
两年前自己一个人无奈之下买了情侣座看唐顿庄园，一对年过半百的恋人携手来看，对角色剧情非常熟悉，一看就是铁粉。当时的自己很羡慕这样的状态，当时的自己也没有料到两年后唐顿2时会遇到自己的另一半，跟他携手走进影院。时间真的会改变和疗愈一切，以及，没有电影的情人节是不完整的。
