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".
一条是父亲的 一条是姐姐的 还有允儿的一条
虽然电影版是为了发糖而存在的，但剧情还是发大水了。建议日影以后把出柜和见家长分开拍，不然拍不出那种感觉。其实同床啊结婚啊都不如最后两个人手牵手、在公园悠闲散步来得感人。魔法再好，平淡为真...
本尼一定要活的健健康康的，我真的想看他演一辈子的戏。
中规中矩的传记片，演员加成不少。一直说女性意识觉醒，这一家子只啃一个男丁真的是要命，还歧视独立女性——家庭女教师。记忆就是脑子里电流，实现在视觉上还可以，真想通过艺术家的脑子和眼睛看世界。确实大多数时候，我们没有真正在看。
看完其实很羡慕，活过，爱过，画过，有痛苦有快乐，却是灿烂的人生。
朴演员确实高中生扮相很违和了，完全靠演技完成了这部影片，演技投入度依旧很高。❤️
男主很幸运啊 失去了妈妈和姐姐
20211129le。本尼迪克特，一个专画猫的画家的一生，很适合给烦躁的一天进行治愈。那温馨浪漫的几分钟，只为衬托余生的痛苦与孤独。有多少艺术家依靠艺术来躲避孤独与痛苦啊。3.5
晚安呀，世界！
当然会想到和喵星人相关的作品
拍得有点空，后半段更是直接放飞了，所以剧本真的很重要，再好的人物故事和演员演技也经不起这么霍霍。
三点五星。虽然该哭的地方也有哭，但是感觉好一般。除了姐姐的那个反转外，其它情节真的很一般。而且又不是真人原型，就感觉男主是个幸运儿一直在叠加bfff，头脑聪明，又有女神的主动垂青，加上脑海里的姐姐和爱他的父亲，让他走出了阴影。建车站的情节比不上驭风男孩，爸爸送考场的情节比不上垫底辣妹，恋爱线也很简单，反正有点七拼八凑想讲很多东西，但每个板块都没讲好。
他画了那么多的猫，依然没有打通阴阳两界的阻隔，可怜却落得最后人猫不辨，虚实不分。影片的三大亮点是：配乐、化妆和卷福的表演。
除了男主演员太老，女神女盆友从天而降之外，其他都蛮好，还是有被李星民大叔饰演的爸爸感动到，韩影讲亲情的故事的完成度还是很有保障的，这其中几次情感的递进都非常流畅，喜欢。
导演立功了,
画家的传记片，一个出生在并非很正常家庭有些疯癫画家的人生。他有疯狂的想法，行事亦乏条理，还得照顾五个姐妹与母亲。他与家庭教师的短暂婚姻，则改变了自己的人生。他对亡妻的深情，让他成为一个专门画猫的画家，并广受欢迎。他在疯癫与寂寥中，走向了人生的终结。
this world is so mad and lonely while colorful and beautiful
我的眼泪是不是真得不值钱啊，哎，看得偶老泪纵横啊！致敬韩国的影人！！！姐姐陪伴长大，父亲终生的遗憾，神童终于开化。一座两元车站，构筑的故事，虚构的，可情感的共鸣是真实的。致敬韩国演员！！
冗长的亲情电影，林允儿很好看。姐姐去世是个没想到的剧情。
“听说人死之前，会看到一生中最美的画面” 落日余晖 眼神坚定的女人 猫 神经质 海边嬉戏的少女 藤蔓 铁架床 童话 剪裁合身的西装 油画 暴风雨 溺水意象 草地 橡树林 剧院 复古色调 精巧配乐 有一颗星可能要扣在卷福身上，虽然是毫无瑕疵的演技，然而其塑造“天才”的方式不应该是和神夏如出一辙的神经质，失去了这个角色的记忆点
