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".
用动画的方式讲武侠故事很有新意，只是结尾时的长段武打令我困乏
本以为是个单纯讲复仇的故事，但又好像在说人性，能感受到想表达更深的东西，但故事性有点薄弱，看在动作的流畅程度，不免算是一部优秀的武侠电影
文本还是单薄了，给动作加一星。
过于牛逼了！！！！！剧情节奏流畅不拖泥带水，动作设计顶级中的顶级，人设更是优秀中的优秀。罗通、红娘、罗顺人设是传统的英雄人设，江渊、西门仁是反传统的人设，江渊或许还可以在以往的武侠作品中窥得一二，西门仁怕是前无古人了吧。这个片子线上上映属实可惜，这不比《刺客伍六七》那种沽名钓誉之徒优秀的多！
武打很过瘾，剧情和漫威一样脑残。只能带上主角光环就可以走四方了！看点是武打很爽就够了
打戏好，文戏让我像在看宣教片，喊话式的空口号有点多
感觉团队就是随便找了剧本秀活儿来的，如果剧本也好一些就更好了。期待这个团队后续的作品
姐弟情处理得最好，姐姐演技也很好，撑起了这部电影
你才是春节档第一呀。打斗一绝，故事人设以及配音都一股地道的港片老武林的味道。制作也足够精美，人物不知道是风格还是怎么，倒也比千遍一律的3d锥子脸看着舒服多了。甚至里面对错正义都有点哲学味道，有些子深度。
小爷我活了一世，终于爽了一把。
256色的人物活在全彩世界裡。雖然能明白其緣由，但是還是有些突兀。武打是重心，文戲劇情平板到可笑，說著什麼開國等大詞，最後也不過是一個小縣城裡的小幫派鬥毆
西门仁此人再多刻画三分，一定会是特别有魅力的反派。
讲实话是超出预期的。没想到故事是正统武侠，庙堂和江湖和百姓。3转2本身我非常不喜欢，但看了之后就懂了，打戏确实精致而且密度合适，显然是表现重点（因此其他地方都比较糙），如果非要做2D那无论放到哪个大厂没个巨额投资和三五年打磨不出来，当然2.5D让每个动作都过于正确失去了畸变的魅力。实际观感就是那种看画面不行但剧情讨喜的漫画一样，就是剧情有些赶着人物往前走。然而主角团的设定也确实没什么意思，男女主全都像路人甲，反而是反派西门仁，不仅是个帅老头打架还好看。这似乎是现在大多数动画作品的通病：无法做出有魅力的主角
这画风！这打戏！武侠真实感max，出拳速度、打斗节奏、鼓点配合，爽到了！
画风第一眼看不惯，看进去整个故事之后就觉得超级不错，最赞的还得是打戏，说一句无敌没毛病！
还是很感谢国漫中有兢兢业业在潜心研究制作的，这画风和打斗真的很让人身心舒畅，牛逼的无话可说。
武戏的动作和镜头都很棒
很不错啊，动作设计不拖泥带水，有特色的美术风格加剧了江湖侠义的燃感爽感，比我想象中的要精良多了
整体觉得情节过于简单了，为了支持国产动漫，加一颗星。
江湖武侠世界，打斗真的太好看了，每个人都很立体，我都有点站西门仁了，侠以武犯禁，成大道不拘小节～多一颗星，是给主创的鼓励
