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".
因为《应召女郎》，这部从剧情和立意显得温馨友好。“越界”剧情后面的处理略简单，似乎女主完成体验的期待而完满，但向学生说破真相这段真的是情感的破冰么？因为男主的故事线不立体，握手祝福好运显得拮据。
简直太棒了！！每首歌响起的时候都想哭！啊有官摄简直太幸福啦！好清晰好近的镜头！！请把那些经典都拍一遍好吗！！把这些可爱演员的最佳状态留下来呀！呜呜不知道还能不能看到现场啊！
3.0。看眼海報就能想出劇情的大致落點，全然屬於乘著女性主義浪潮的陳舊雞湯，並且沒有看出非要拿這個劇本拍電影而不是做成舞台劇的必要性。
竟然被治愈了；头两幕感觉差一点就黑镜了，男主过于完美仿生人，没想到第三幕精准打击，牛逼；所有演员都应该看看什么叫演技
好的卡司确实能够掩盖剧本的局促，并且让影像高于平庸版本的真正舞台。2001-2011-2021，时代U字回转。
艾玛阿姨最后对自己身子坦诚的一笑，太美了
好像看现场啊。完全想不到的切入点，演员都演得非常棒。尤其女机长独唱那一段，太励志了。
所以在下次见面之前，希望我们都不要失去这个武器。
最后问题解决了吗？还是里奥·格兰德通过救赎fantasy完成了南希的想象呢？
2019去西区没有看这部，第二年中国巡演取消，听了两年Me and the Sky，第三年终于等来官摄😭
简直太棒了！！每首歌响起的时候都想哭！啊有官摄简直太幸福啦！好清晰好近的镜头！！请把那些经典都拍一遍好吗！！把这些可爱演员的最佳状态留下来呀！呜呜不知道还能不能看到现场啊！
Inspiring！非常好，细腻又有趣，剧本和表演都相当不错，温柔而有力量。有勇气把女性的欲望和自我矛盾拍得这么真实生动，向艾玛汤普森致敬！Ladies, go get yourself a proper orgasm!
还蛮喜欢结尾，Nancy是通过自己获得了第一次高潮而非Leo
you are here, at the start of a moment. 你身在此处，看山是山，水是水，同处在同一事件里，但你会有你的感受和你的记忆。
20年疫情没来成上海 官摄解馋了 舞台简单 表现力却极强 群戏有序转换清晰 单人发挥稳定 音乐不是那么优秀 但也有一两首相对出彩的 比起me and sky 我更喜欢prayer 和stop the world 总之宗教取向女性种族元素齐了 当你孤立无援 你可能只是需要一个一起散步一起喝酒一起讲蠢笑话的人 而甘德给了你更多 wherever you are something’gone somethings‘s missing no man is an island 十年之后再聚首 更加治愈 最后乐队的纽芬兰音乐演奏和真实故事改编加星
知识女性到老都充满魅力！剧本不深，但演员上台面啊，可以可以。
音乐剧真是美式爱国主义的灵魂，眼泪从开头被煽到片尾。用少量演员来凝聚表现一万多人和三十八架飞机在五天内的故事，场景上的极简反而做到了最佳的想象力。
外国的鸭子，都是哲学家啊？？素质太高了！！想想咱们这的鸭子，可能一开口，就是“大姐，你说咋整咧，你这……要加钱咧……”，看到什么东西多少外国的好啊。。哈哈哈哈。
我们遭受了许多的苦难，艰辛，可是一种超越现实的冒险的奇异的感觉，高度的兴奋充斥在我们的脑中。
汤普森女士演技太强，可惜现实中不会有这么又帅又温柔的🦆
