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".
3.5 心被狠狠剐了一大刀。复仇的爽快和被出轨的痛苦，还是无法抵消。
花费大气力讲了一个不痛不痒、隔靴搔痒、自我感动的故事，充满正确也充满不正确。
政治正确真的垃圾，连动画片都要黑人当主角了。虽然虚构的，但也要考虑时代背景。黑人角色也不是说不能有，现在过于滥了，让人反感。
比较有意思，电影总能在我将要游离出神之际神乎其神地给我拽回来。所谓用最温柔的方式进行最狠的报复，堪称小清新版《消失的爱人》。
一开始以为是爽剧，感觉女主会教训出轨的男主，结果竟然也不算是，有趣的地方是故事把漫画里的情节与现实搞得非常混乱让人一直猜测到底是真是假，结尾还又来了个反转，总之算是有点意思的电影吧…
套路满满，两倍速看完都觉得慢，可惜了好的画面。
剧情实在是过于潦草了 愿望是美好的 希望人类早日放过大自然的野生动物
而全片唯一看似别扭的地方，在于小女孩的人设，过分超出外表的成熟与智慧，显得不太和谐。
现在看任何动物 非人类的都像阿雯和土豆 /愿世间所有大动物小动物都健康快乐 不被坏人欺负伤害
把复仇爽片拍出日本电影那种温和的调调。除了故事情节，不撕小三，把矛头对准出轨的丈夫，以及不可怜巴巴求被爱，一心只想搞事业的编辑小三，这两个设定也很有意思。常规出轨被发现后的一系列狗血操作在这里消失了，希望全体出轨的男性都能感受下这种被全世界抛弃的绝望。
感觉完全是驯龙高手的套路，海怪的皮肤堪比坦克。

想上道（出轨）的时候偏偏就能遇上老司机（教练）。电影前半部很容易被男女主普通的外貌迷惑，以为电影也平淡无奇，只有看到最后才突然有一种脊背发凉但又或许暴爽的感觉。相比，这部电影才应该叫“开我的车”。（2022-16）
挺可爱的一个片子，就是剧情有点套路化了，感受最深的就是，有的书会蒙蔽你的双眼
红兽=中国，故事书=媒体，闭关洗脑的漂亮族，好像都对得上。不知编剧什么背景，有点反向洗脑的意思了
运镜唯美的GoneGirl。漫画也贴合而且加强了梦幻感，悬疑不伦，从开头对话，女主就不动声色明了一切。渣男老公和小三没被拿来祭天，倒是直接商业合作，神展开。全员被女主拿捏，黑木华妹子那种木偶矜持和腹黑脆弱感，非常给力。柄本佑真不伦里的特种兵，自带搞笑感。
开头很喜欢
真无聊。近年来的日本电影有两个极端趋势，一种是越来越克制抽象概念化的剧作模式，还有一种则是越来越外显与表面化的剧作呈现形式，而这就是后者的代表，以至于让原本优秀的主演都变得暗淡无光，就像两个听从命令的提线木偶。
看到预告之后就忍不住想看，果然很合我胃口😁一次没有狗血抓马的，只凭借漫画传递信息就向渣男完成的复仇，顺便把渣男变成自己的工具人（柄本佑真的好好笑哈哈哈哈）。感觉责编对老师这人也没什么感情，就是希望他赶紧画稿赶上截止😆结尾太舒爽了 全程看完没有堵气的感觉 就是节奏慢了点（所以我1.25倍速看了 斯密马赛）女主漫画标题强调的“老师”其实一直都是指他老公吧，一语双关了。
颜值担当：奈绪 以及真的好讨厌yaffle哈
