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".
亏的为保罗这个角色安了地理老师和知道鬼的设定，结果一点作用都没有。三个小演员的表演很不错，最后老队员回归时算是情怀拉满了，片尾有双彩蛋，还有为什么不用之前捉鬼敢死队这个翻译了？
看过最欢乐最接地气的同影，很多梗不是gay或者lgbtq community是根本不会懂的。以及还是要说Zane Phillips太太太sexy了!!!
OMG！OMG！OMG！I like It ！ I like it！I like It！想去岛但我超晕船的！Perfume Genius 哈！就好可哦！
愿得一人心，白首不分离。中外同志本没什么两样。明年是不是要有同志版小妇人了？
查理好可爱，will=gaylawyer笑死
eyecatching and actually *funny*
这部既是续集，也算是新的篇章。虽然剧情有些降智，但是总体上没有太多的强行逻辑，而且电影的受众“指定”了曾经的粉丝和儿童，总体来看还是不错的。当然要是挑bug那也是一大堆，比如女主的外公，明明大Boss都要复活了，他就单打独斗，最终撂了自己。就算镇子上的人不信他，全美国不信他，他的那三个队友不信他，他就不能自己培养几个弟子？他就不能请家人出马？怪哉，或许又是编剧背锅。反正老爷子的行为直接诠释了一句话：这年头低调就是找死，只有曝光才有流量，才能生活越来越美好。
连着幕后原版Spangler演员去世的故事看还挺感人的……但整个高潮来得都太晚了。全片最大笑点：别人都在深情演感情时在一旁跟野人一样的paul rudd哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
为了SNL第一个亚裔卡司，为了含钙量高的喜剧笑果都不会差，为了主演编剧是一个单口喜剧演员，他在扣熊的访谈节目里直接称呼这部影片为gay版傲慢与偏见，瞬间让我觉得豁然开朗了
两星半，捉鬼变成捉邪神，然后埃及的被拍了太多了，就拍苏美尔的，这感觉彻底跑偏，最后卖了一波情怀，可惜。
失败的套壳，最终呈现出来的效果是又抓马又无聊。很现代化，很理想化，说有内涵吧，故事完全套壳还改的不好很多地方逻辑不通；说肤浅吧，明明有颜有肉结果拍出来的观感甚至不如小时代。伯文的表演还挺惊喜的，完全跳出SNL的感觉了；Joel就差强人意，感觉还不如一众配角水平在线。作为骄傲月的流媒体开篇，以经典做底子，配上有话题度的卡司，给了人们过高的期待值。然而成片里我们看到的却又只是烂俗的政治正确灯红酒绿，浮夸拙劣没诚意也没创新，总结就是真的就是我配着骄傲滤镜都无法违心的说它好，真的就是三流网大的质量吧…
没看过前作，只看续集有很多设定不清楚。但因为有麦肯齐妹妹全片都好看了很多，一开始看这个造型还没认出来是麦肯齐，只觉得小姑娘好可爱(//∇//)。
Who you gonna call? Call me maybe?
现代男同版《傲慢与偏见》，看着肉体满屏、时不时还出现些果镜，但其实故事根本还是挺保守点：还在传统异性恋浪漫故事框架里。另，或许这也是刻板印象，但一群queer也是真的吵！
虽说是80年代怀旧番不能连道具什么的一起做成80年代质感呀…真的是太傻了
我们这儿不仅是大环境不行，同性恋都差个几十年去理解这种态度
好尴尬的剧情，感情线比剧情还尴尬。
前面还不错，小演员都很好，后面有些撑不住了
少儿剧开篇，看来更适合家庭观看……建议15周岁以下，适合暑期档。吸收了老版本《捉鬼敢死队》元素，再现成了儿童版。
I'm like Howie without meeting Noah or Charlie....
