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".
复古的色调很美，全篇都是铺垫，漫长而悠扬，欲盖弥彰的逐渐紧张，极致简单的故事，平静的只是荡起了一丝涟漪，比同类型的偷窥者差距颇大，实在不适合独居观赏，特别是午夜
世间所有不尽人意之事，全靠硬扛。接受成长，也接受所有的不欢而散。
喜欢，比那些特意渲染人狗情啊，把狗狗拟人化（尤其国产的一批）的电影要好多了。
如片名一样的简单粗暴，一壮汉一狗狗公路电影。。。开始壮汉忙着泡美眉、狗狗忙着ptsd，走着走着一人一狗逐渐发现彼此的好╮(￣▽￣"")╭ 呃，故事温馨幽默 沿途风景旖旎 商业电影也如是
曾经有过自己的狗狗～冠自己的姓，正式起名字，而不是只叫汪汪辣么随意……虽然仅有短短一段时间，但多少次梦里都会有它～于是也更看这样的片子被催泪，更何况男主的壮硕，绝对非娘气那种，受战争的伤看着心疼。
作为一部老生常谈，老掉牙，老气横秋的影片来说，我虽然做好了心理准备，但是依旧被这种老所震惊了，这片子的模板可以说从有电影这东西开始就可以被追溯了。这样老成也就意味着拍不太差。整体也还好，但是各种桥段生拼硬凑的感觉太强烈了，一个个小品被愚蠢的公路旅行穿插在了一起，丝毫不连贯，也没感觉彼此呼应成为整体。我爱钱老板，所以两星。
钱老板自导自演，没有突破，中规中矩，观感五味杂陈。典型的那种你说不好看还能看，你说能看又有点浪费时间，你说不感动又有点小心悸，你说感动又很难深陷其中的电影。钱老板+狗+公路片，平淡的犹如一碗佐餐的番茄鸡蛋汤而已，很温暖很家常，缺乏惊喜。
剧情毫无逻辑可言 但是配乐挺精品 三分给狗子的演技
最近看的第三部帅哥和狗的电影。不过渣宁在这个电影里邋遢又糟心。露露狗狠话不多。人与狗同病相怜，最后相依为命。重生的意义，互相的。
前面部分拍得故意突显女主的怀疑依据不足，让观众对她产生同样冷漠的观感，这结局才有一点点效果。但是对面那人真是连环杀手的设定也同样俗套了，本可以走心理惊悚困局路线
1. 小品拼接式，Ppt式表演；李焕英同款，编不下去就接空镜 2. 狗演员无空间 3. 如果是我选的应该会被干爆，我真是好脾气
被感动到。一直有想哭的冲动，但还是忍住了，动物永远是人嘞的好朋友，动物都是有灵的，或者不如说万物有灵。
很难想象查宁塔图姆当下拍的狗狗的电影在豆瓣只有两千人看了..
个人评分6.8
狗狗真的是人类生命中最永恒美好的主题
Channing Tatum + 狗子就是完美组合
还算可以吧，小成本惊悚片，还不错，就是节奏慢了点？
Village cinema with Ursin. Warm easy to watch movie, the slum, try to help the whole world
打发时间聊胜于无吧
从西雅图到Arizona 很多人爱走的公路 总觉得这个片子缺点什么又讲不出来……Arizona居然用公制 学习了
