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".
确实比第一部好很多。围绕着人物，特别是即将离世的老妇人的“秘密”的揭秘，完美地给这个早已经逝去的贵族时代划上了句号。新事物“有声电影拍摄”的“入侵”，世袭身份的变迁，“同性”的认可等等，都标志着New Era的到来。善意的编导给一切都安排的Happy Ending过于完满了，怀旧的“唐顿庄园”系列应该真正结束，希望不要为了“赚银子”，再给它画蛇添足、拍3拍4喽！
唐顿庄园的故事从1912年泰坦尼克号沉船开始，到这一部来到了1928年，电影都从默片到了有声时代，或许这就是“新纪元”
我是真的完全不记得第一部电影版在说个啥了，只记得奶奶成精了，第二部竟然还缺不了奶奶这个灵魂人物让我一度对再来一遍的电影版完全么有期待。当然看还是要看的，倒是结果比我预想的好很多，以电影拍摄的时代变迁再喻唐顿这个贵族系的变迁，虽然没有新鲜主题，倒是故事还蛮带劲，不呆板，不矫情，在此基础上再把人物关系给总结一遍也没不会让据迷再伤感一遍了。
祖孙俩在片中各自拒绝男人的倾慕与抛出的诱惑，就像是一种传承——“欲戴王冠必承其重”
不知道以后还会不会继续拍下去，19年得知要上映影版激动的不行。当时好像是上课间隙一个人去新远看的。这一次好巧不巧，也是只能一个人去看了，仿佛又回到了原点一般。当时很伤感觉得老夫人要去世了，所以没想到会有第二部上映。而这一次她真的走了，唐顿也要接受这些离别啊，生活也得继续下去。
我妻善逸只有一招，但一招能闪杀一切，也能单挑上弦。是否太偏心了T﹏T
节奏上比上一部温润不少，狗血与叙事性都在，加了很多外景。总感觉这不是新20s拍的作品，在最浮躁的时代拍时代温情片，英国人对唐顿庄园的记忆其实不亚于甄嬛传。死亡伴随着新生，婚礼之后就是人生的葬礼，做一场古典优雅的英国庄园好莱坞电影梦。平行时空下的男演员和男服务员的私奔与逃跑，大胆与勇敢的kiss kiss，为新时代揭开新纪元的序幕。（电影院buff加成！19.9一个人包场两个小时空调吹爽啦！）
这一部围绕两个故事线展开，人物安排没有上一部那样精巧了，出现很多背景板。
以后再也不买最后一排的位置了...我这该死的眼睛...
每个人都找到了自己的另一半和归宿，三女婿简直是开挂一次又一次的人生赢家！老夫人的人生真的太精彩了。
我记得第一部电影版挺好看的啊，这部怎么能做到从头尴尬到尾的...
时间线即将来到二战，一切秩序被打破的时代。
似乎不再有从前看到主人家唤仆人时那根丝线牵引着的震动，只是一群许久未见的老友，互相絮叨着近况，尤其再这个每个人都有交代的情境下，不由得还是很想念三小姐啊。如今老太太也没能进入新时代，唏嘘更甚了。
我个人十分喜欢本次故事中融入的电影元素，无论是对默片时代的致敬，还是对上世纪片场工作的种种还原，都能让影迷感到一种通过将艺术形式融入作品内容而表达出的谦逊态度。作为这个故事可能的终章，本作纵然在故事结构与制作上都有偷工减料之嫌，但其长久坚持的对于历史的态度——以人与情为本也足以为它赢得一份喝彩
鬼灭之刃的艺能 把tv合成剧场 把剧场拆成tv
TV版的几集合在一起搞了个剧场版，温故知新。
作为电视剧铁粉我都不想打分……太烂了，还让人心酸
唐顿庄园就是那种听篇头曲就能激动起来的故事。从开篇的婚礼到临近结束时的葬礼，到最后迎来新生儿。从默片时代到有声电影。从贵族庄园到摄影基地。从英式庄园到法国南部的别墅。虽然我超爱这种贵族气质，但是大表姐也可以去做电影配音。哈，更何况每一个庄园参与者都有一份温暖的感情。一切的一切，都好感动、好暖、好喜欢。
婚礼开始，葬礼结束，老夫人寿终正寝，新生儿呱呱坠地。看到所有人都幸福快乐，真好。Mary说起大表哥的时候，他那么完美，what if……
“I love you before you love me，u need money , I have ,then love comes”
