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".
往后看还挺逗的，五颜六色的铠甲，七嘴八舌的大小号，五光十色的特效
3.这个故事容易令人遐想，刘备如果没有诸葛亮，还有谁会记得刘备？但实际上刘备信任诸葛亮或者说他们是一类人，而片中这二位是两类人，注定无法顺利合作。
男主黑化导致男二竞选失败，但个人觉得在彼时彼刻，男主不黑化，也是左右不了结果的，说白了就是那时候内外环境还不允许。还是剧本太顺拐，不高级。
整部电影有很多anais奔跑的镜头，代表了她横冲直撞的压迫性和急切。幽闭恐惧只是一种“逃避”，她宁愿不断奔跑，也不愿进入安稳步调。
#GFF22 audience awards的第一部 看完没什么感觉，就像女主自己所说的，她不care任何事情，随心所欲地生活。
整部影片有两个不太理解的地方：1.Anais出于何种原因和Daniel买可乐 2.可能因为我还太年轻，能够接受但无法理解Emilie的选择
开头用了不小的篇幅来介绍和渲染Anais的性格特点和日常作风，建立观众对她的观感，也增强了这段故事的可能性。永远带着好奇心以及对他人的探索渴望，也就拥有了更丰富的情感经历。当然影片自如融合了环境的天真浪漫，没有外界影响随时降临的危机感，因而这样看来无论是什么样的结局，都是好的结局。

政治争斗，无不用其极，针锋相对，置之死地而后生，很是精彩。就是语速太快，来不及反应，让人昏昏欲睡。不过主演演技了得，隐喻也十分有趣，很有分量
故事线比较肤浅，节奏，剪辑，叙事一般化，人物塑造过于片面而单薄，整体《故事会》水平！
再加上这部剧场版剧情也达到了中规中矩，不露细节，逻辑严密的水平，确实也值得较高的评价。
画面很漂亮

16.12.21 清新明快的法国爱情片，莽撞冲动的年轻小妞在生活和爱情中屡屡受挫，却依旧热烈不羁，活力四射。窝囊的情人，羸弱的家人和理智的爱人都无法阻止她自由的步伐，让我仿佛看到什么事都“偏要勉强”的赵敏。实在很欣赏一直明白自己要什么，且有勇气take bold decisions的人。Playing safe is boring. 本片对于生命、爱情和激情的探讨道出了每一个理想主义者的困境。面对母亲的病情，Anaïs的那句“I don’t want to be sad”朴素、自私却又无比真实。我们害怕的只是被生活最物质的一面击垮，这大概会是对我们生活态度最耻辱的背书吧。
这类题材尤为演员试金石。双男主选角精准，演技之外，脸相气韵均符深陷纸牌屋该有的人性刻度。 后半部以及结尾，没想到是那样。让人看罢无限怅惘、不时反刍、无比感喟、深存心田的一部，爱这两个角色，还爱两个好演员。
我以为我能猜到结局，但是女主比我想象中更要勇敢坚定许多，最后两分钟强行扭转结局(亲吻姐姐的手腕好美啊。女主热烈的爱像飞蛾扑火不顾一切，拥有能去爱她人的能力真好。
还是蛮有意思的，两个人的对手戏相当精彩，既是君臣又是知己还是对手，还夹杂着一丝丝惺惺相惜不可明说的意思。太阴狠成就了他，又毁了他，人人都想用他但人人都又以表面的正义放弃他。
剧情逻辑还算合理，也考虑到了时间悖论。为了能让三位主骑和剧场版骑士单独对阵boss也是煞费苦心，毕竟圣刃的骑士真的是超级多，加上利维斯的骑士，这个阵容堪比战队VS。受制于篇幅，终战时候是骑士们团战一个大boss和四个小boss，五个战场轮流切换，感觉不太流畅。中期现在和未来同时作战也有这个问题。狩崎博士不愧是骑士死忠粉，那么多克隆体在一起的冲击感和当时看到很多诚哥的感觉是一样的，当然最初给我这种冲击感的是凌波丽。这部最令人遗憾的是五毛特效，实在是过于敷衍了。不论多那么好的创意，配上这令人绝望的cg效果都是灾难性的。抠图的基地内景和不知该如何形容的巨大战，大概都是大人的问题吧。演员的表现都可圈可点，都忠实于人设，就是不知道社恐大秦寺是怎么和门田看对眼的。这部里的索菲亚超级可爱，难得看到她人狠话不多的一面。
