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".
人事有代谢，往来成古今。婚礼开始，葬礼结束，有新生，有老去，有机遇，有遗憾，而唐顿庄园依旧伫立。大屏幕上看唐顿，总会感到温暖又难过，为那个回不去的旧世界。
大半年后第一次进影院，看到唐顿屯的人历经风雨后继续生活，有了可期盼的未来，感动。中间数次几欲落泪，太太太美好了，唐顿庄园是一个英式童话吧。
这是一个关于新旧交替的故事，当唐顿庄园遇到了摩登时代，如何与其融洽并传承。marry接过了祖母管家的指挥棒，借助电影拍摄迅速适应了新时代的变化，父亲通过法国一行回忆祖母年少时的浪漫故事，最后祖母的逝去象征着旧时代的结束，而每个人都在新时代里找到了自己的意义。人物繁杂但刻画细腻，让我一个从未看过唐顿的人都能慢慢理清故事的剧情，油画复古画面极具美感，配乐点缀锦上添花，台词精炼而体现人物特色，金句带着英式独有的幽默频出，这是一部优秀且完美的电影。
本吃瓜群众代入感强，老夫老妻的长篇小说桥段很受用，满意。
不记得追唐顿庄园的剧集追到哪一集就没有下文了，电影还是值得一看，熟悉的片头音乐一响起，就把人带入英国乡村辽阔的风景中，当然这一集的南法更胜一筹，看的过程中有些角色已经很迷糊的，但是不妨碍这个故事里的每个人都很可爱！
2022.6.13 经典比大英晚1个月左右上映…直接人傻 浙江实验艺术剧场居然只要5块一张！直接把成本价放上去了是吧 这不秒抢一张天理难容了都 本来高高兴兴抢了5块一张的票却因为删减6分钟导致我不想去看了直接退票！神经啊 6.9突然上线了 才20天就上线了 唐顿庄园真一直是英音的教科书式表演呢 上次第一部还看的比较懂 这部应该是我看得不怎么仔细的缘故 只知道有导演来唐顿拍戏 然后有人把南法别墅继承给某个人 后面老妇人去世了 这个我在n部影片看到过的老妇人在片中去世了 怎么感觉她在现实里也快了呢…每次看唐顿就感觉英国人真是优雅呢…从无声片到有声片的过度
开开心心，每个人都瘦了，有几个差点瘦到认不出了
为了去电影院看电影从一堆垃圾中选出来去看的，原谅粗鄙无知的我没有一点触动，电影里的冠冕堂皇和扭捏作态简直要让我窒息了
“你太吵了，我听不到我死去的声音了”
奶奶下线了，但我觉得这个IP可以再拍一个世纪✌👍
唐顿电影版续到“走进新时代”便是最好的结束，请不要再续了。当时代的喧嚣和嘈杂一股脑涌入原本祥和宁静的庄园，我们原本熟悉的味道正在慢慢消散；老夫人临走前那句“Stop that noise…”真是令人沉默，趋势不可阻挡，家族人来人往，如何维持往日的荣光，Mary 坚毅的脸上似乎已经写好了答案。
强弩之末（症候过于明显，用无声转有声片暗示今天的covid变迁造成的失业）（只提了一句1919的西班牙大流感，但胜过千言万语）
好像穿越回了那个时代，跟Downton一起见证一部电影的诞生
圆满就两个字，一贯的优雅，粉丝的欣慰和感动😹，每个人都那么美好
剧情紧凑，维持着系列水准。
喜欢这种调调的电影，这就是平和中带着意思幽默，平和的度过每一天，很喜欢marry这个角色，承接了过去和将来。
oh 中间好好笑，只是大家都很完美的时候老太太却离开了。唐顿庄园太太太好看啦！
大概是那份克制和尊重 无论多么狗血俗套的剧情他都能克制而温情的展现出一个人物一群人物之间的深层情感 让你感觉无论楼上楼下都有着自己的位置 自己的艰难 自己的光芒 甚至散发出一丝丝不真实的美好气息
本身定位就是粉丝向电影，唐家屯的粉丝能被如此宠着真实万分荣幸！
3.8很好，有些画面油画打光真的很好看！电影院音效特别棒，关于英式庭院的爱恨情仇，就是故事情节稍微有点老套…
