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".
“三绿”齐聚家庭场，时空穿越多美好，穿得很好，下次不要再干了谢谢。
除非你今天周末下午在家真不知道看什么了，又不想动脑子，又想边玩手机边看个电影，
No.2434 虽然比较流水线式，但架不住笑点和科幻的内容对我的胃口。只是对于反派有些不能理解，蠢了些从而降低了拯救世界的难度。
整体剧情简直是好莱坞套路教科书 只能给个及格分 不过小亚当选角很OK 加一星 瑞安近些年演技和选片风格都越发固化 这点有点可惜
概念真的非常好，可惜又是Red Notice这类Netflix超级大片既视感，如果在世界观架构上更用心一些就好了。future self/inner child. It’s easier to be angry than to be sad. RR真的是只会演嘴贱这一种角色了。
低幼向动画片，至少充满爱，萌鸡IP也熬出来了大电影
哦时间旅行只是你还没发现而已。
科幻元素和动作元素其实不是很重，但一些人物关系真的不错，很多点挺戳我的。而且我觉得RR在这部中的表演找回了一些原来走心演戏的自己。
上一部rafflo叔和garner一起主演的电影 好像还是女孩梦三十呢！
看睡着了，看了开头，看了结尾，还能看懂。陪小朋友看的。
个人观感：《萌鸡小队：萌闯新世界》＞《熊出没·重返地球》。—— 这部电影比较适合与看过《萌鸡小队》动画剧集的彤妍澄三宝一起观影，自己一个人看这样的幼儿向动画还是难免觉得幼稚，那就让我暂时“返青还童”一下。★★★☆ 附注：末尾天天和爸爸都没把装萌鸡的箱子拿走，而后的镜头箱子就从路上消失不见了。—— 2022.04.04：今天中午彤&妍…刚好回来，下午就给她们放了这部电影。
网飞现在的科幻特效片感觉洒洒水，反正都是流水线制作动不动就来，还都是大牌参与。ps：小贱贱怎么永远嘴炮了这都几部了
三星半，轻松欢乐地看着两张punchable的脸不停嘀咕了一个半小时，中间还穿插着一些小煽情和一大堆段子。
科學性應該太艱難的hard background所以用了最顯淺的方法來解釋於是變了想幌子一樣.但可以順利彌補 / 2nd chance get... 還求甚麼.能跟無法再見的人講了應該要講的話,比甚麼科學物理都來得重要
俗套的爆米花喜剧科幻动作爽片，不用带脑子看到最后甚至还会感动
2、演小亚当的小演员模仿RR的话痨、语气和动作模仿的超级像。
挺好看的，故事比较俗，但小男孩戏份挺好。整体也比较完整。
死侍+卡魔拉，这算是脱离漫威的大乱配么，星爵哦，跟荷兰弟去当海贼了是吧。
老套却也好看，这种时空穿越题材都免不了对于亲情和爱情的救赎，在一切可遇见的发展下也做到了让人暖心的地步，以及话唠仍是一大特色，但真成了瑞恩雷诺兹所有电影里的设定了，还是希望不要被限制在这唯一的人设里
动作科幻的戏份其实不多，笑点不那么密集，但是话痨依然未变。整体观感挺好的，配乐很搭，暖暖的温情内在让这部电影成为了非常适合小家庭观看，四星推荐暖一暖。
