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".
“万万没想到我能死在您家里…”
奥斯汀的作品，18世纪的英格兰，贵族家庭主要人物居然集齐了所有肤色人种，果然是2022魔幻美式zz正确，左派渗透文艺作品的极大胜利。奈何原著底子实在太好，英国乡村太美，再怎样魔幻仍不失为佳作。
女性化的视角，很喜欢女主对着镜头的自白。很诗意的田园风，不像去年的新版Emma那么刻意，自然风光拍的有新意。女主太美了，虽是古装剧但服装有很多现代元素，不像常规的年代剧比拼华丽的衣着和满眼马卡龙色。简约风穿搭和妆容衬托出女主本人的美，不是衣服美，虽然衣服也很美！唯一不喜欢的是男主，也许是演员人选还不如男二帅气，也许是剧本设计，最后男主的表白没有很打动我，看不出男主的付出和主动，虽然猜到结局是他俩在一起但是反转太快
李光洙演技可以，确实只能当喜剧片，bug太多，前戏太长…
因为光洙，因为车胜元。
话说那个能装下4个成人和一个小孩的大黄桶出现太及时了，韩国的119不够给力呀，不是靠下雨人家自己坐桶里从500米浮上来，你们还救不了是吧
达妹口音太糟糕了 这版选角更是乱来 还有各种没必要的所谓创新 这明明是灾难片
怎么会有这么没有魅力的男主 虽然隐忍克制 但是怎么就这么没火花 而且我这人巨爱主角们不好好说话（因为这很现实啊！现实里大家都争做沟通达人但其实很少表达自己！）可是男女主在这里不好好说话我都懒得去想了 因为出现了更有魅力的Mr Eliot! 虽然最后揭露出他在打自己的小算盘 势利且有点市侩 但是他好会啊 比Wentworth强多了 / 最后 为什么2022年的电影还在劝女人结婚 明白当年的情况婚姻是女性生存的最好选择 但是既然都改编得这么现代 为什么还要女人走入婚姻 / 我觉得用breaking the 4th wall来展现书中很多Anne的心理活动是个好方式 但是片中应用起来的节奏有点不着调 不如Fleabag来得巧妙
主线是逃生 副线是邻里情谊 轻喜剧灾难片的基调 但被拍得不伦不类 甚至被同类型的极限逃生吊打 导演的华丽的休假也是煽情居多 逻辑全无 另 车胜元是被李先生附体了么
我妈听到笑了出来😂😂
跟着电影去旅行。丹麦米其林大厨到托斯卡纳继承遗产——一座老旧城堡。这里除了有阳光、美景，漂亮的食材，还有童年好友，以及自己与父亲的爱恨。本来我以为片名中的“爱”是指父子之情和童年小伙伴间的友谊，结果非要让马上结婚的小伙伴爱上丹麦厨子，并为此离婚，而且明明是发小意大利律师更帅气，这里的安排还是很牵强的。在损失了大几十万欧元后，丹麦厨子把团队搬到了意大利，谁能拒绝地中海的美丽呢？美景有一些，美食不太多，老外吃橄榄油太猛了。我有点好奇丹麦厨子和丹麦短发女是啥关系，合作伙伴？
质感差体现在方方面面……过于频繁和单调的破墙表演弄巧成拙，让一小时五十分钟的片子如三小时般冗长。达妹……哎算了！
有感动，尤其是里头老婆婆让主角走，自己在里面等死那里。不过剧情喜悲掺杂，喜的部分太多是个问题。他整体是有点喜的。给我的感觉就是好像主角都有光环，在这里我看不到传统灾难片的人性扭曲，复杂，灾难下如何绞尽脑汁的想办法求生。主角们被困地下了。就乖乖等救援。每每遇到危险最后都能化险为夷，这样搞得我就完全没法投入。心里知道主角最后总会被救的，有这样的想法就导致我看他们落难的部分完全不会感同身受的着急。包括结尾一行人脱困。政府救援队几乎就是摆设，几乎全靠他们自己的团结啦努力啦，到最后人也没死几个。感觉拍起来有点太英雄主义了。
又吵又闹，废话台词巨多，看到开头猜到结尾，由于是喜剧片，屏蔽掉其中大量不合逻辑的剧情后，居然看的很爽，背负房贷的人能看懂里面每一个明示和暗喻。
轻喜剧。女主艳光四射，全赖配角统统歪瓜裂枣衬托。而且，一个白人，在奥斯丁时代，有这么多各肤色的亲友也挺难入戏的。
你会重振旗鼓，重新找回快乐you will rally and you will be happy again
Dakota太出戏了。选角既然已经如此，Henry Golding不如直接演Wentworth，至少更养眼
听从自己内心，自己思考，自己做决定。
看了一半拖了拖进度条，弃了。。。。我给电影10分！！！只是百分制罢了。Godawful我不知道是不是简奥斯丁得罪了Netflix哪位高层，ta能这么恨她，把她的小说一部部改编搞成trash，damn，就。。。这种unwatchable的trash不知道是在恶心谁呢，假如如果第一次看这种玩意，谁会去看原著甚至以前的adaption。。。。（物理）劝退
Netflix+0715:宇宙自有它的选择。
