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".
低于预期，这个题材好好写剧本的话怎么也是部合格的爆米花片，但这部不是。
真的很土很狗血 但是能够给我带来快乐和力量 我愿意给出很好的评价😀
谷阿莫，情节不吸引人，也许胖妹的表演还不错吧。
剧情还是比较套路+zzzq的。男主寻找自己真正的死因，绕了一圈，从责怪周围人责怪这个世界，到最后发现是自己一直被困在了自己的世界。小林真就是小白，这个从头就知道，但展现的很不错。故事的感情流让人满意。
虽然剧情很老套 但看完感觉还挺有意思的 笑点也蛮多的 看完感觉蛮开心的
Could be better but it definitely chose not to. #playsafe#
笑点还是有的 就是剧情太老套了 打发时间不错
虽然剧情和其他美国校园片有点相似，不过挺喜欢里面穿插的校园舞蹈。感觉和其他美国片一样，会从一个故事引出一个道理，也告诉我们生活中正能量永远会胜过负能量的。女主人公Stefanie在校园舞蹈表演中，被人恶意算计，导致摔伤，昏睡了20年。在她从昏睡中醒来时，身边的人和生活方式都已发生了很大的变化。尽管如此，她仍决定要实现自己摔伤前的梦想，要成为高中的舞会王后，她成功了。并以自己的个性舞姿和个人号召力，使被教条压制着的校园生活变得有活力。片尾通过一段与过期校园舞后的对话，让Stefanie重新思考了啥才是人活着该追求的，需要有的东西，使她重新为自己定了一个新目标。该片有点励志片的感觉，女主人公拥有积极的人生态度，不服老，不服输，不记仇，团结友爱，敢于尝试新事物，是个充满正能量的热情女孩。
surfing camp里看的，女主口音瞬间梦回deadwood
真的很土很狗血 但是能够给我带来快乐和力量 我愿意给出很好的评价😀
好玩 不过女主心态真好啊，不去计较过去丢失的二十年吗
挺喜歡這部的！故事還是美式校園老掉牙套路，但是女主的特殊經歷給電影加了不少喜劇元素，而且新舊觀念的碰撞也很有意思！好懷念以前哦。
5.5。创意挺不错 成品太一般 塞满各种奇异元素 照顾了除亚裔外 几乎所有人 但就是一点不好笑的喜剧。比起对性少数 女性 非裔的嬉笑调侃 对他们的恭维和褒奖倒占了多数 16年后 喜剧编剧们过的真是愈来愈绑手绑脚的日子。威尔森的现实经历告诉我们 从大体重降下来 脸上褶子真地会多很多。出演女主爸爸的演员 同样是《瑞克和莫蒂》中爸爸Steve的配音 他的标志转音还是很有特色。下三路喜剧 看来是真死了 美国社会这么多敏感群体 冒犯谁也不是 玩个毛……
好逗 这应该是我看过最不一样的校园电影了（对千篇一律的美高电影疲倦了
3.5星，在处理男主和自己父亲、母亲、兄弟的感情传达与和解的家庭剧情上有点过于缺失了，没有交代最后男主有没有去美术大学、也没有和母亲开诚布公，更没有梳理和兄弟的感情，篇幅太短这么多的人物关系塞不下。青春主题最喜欢说的友情和恋爱上倒是把起因经过结果都描述完整了。经历以上种种，最终男主迈向自洽的终点。男女主角的选角都很好呀，形象很青春很自然，一种柔软的青春感迎面而来，特别是青梅竹马的女主，苹果肌好可爱。话说这部戏的动漫版都是10多年前了，以前看过但是现在真的看懂了里面所有人物的心理动机、感情
剧情有些太假，但传递的东西不错。这个社会就应该是包容多元轻松的…而不是一潭死水被各种社会压力房贷压力压的喘不过气
印度女孩、两个亚裔、黑人，女主，年轻时候的女主，每个演员都太赞了！！顺带重温了一波2000年左右的欧美流行乐，小甜甜～
还行, 能看, 不过原作有学姐线吗, 有点忘了 // 冲着ZTMY的ED来的, 结果发现看过原作 (
Popcorn movie. Good way to kill a sunday night :)
看完这片怀念小甜甜、席琳迪昂，比较轻松的剧，但是各方面一般，
