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".
年纪大了真的看不得这种片子了5555
后面几个适合大孩子看
2022年的第一部5星作品。在没有看过预告片的情况下贸然买票走进了电影院。事实证明这次的冒险是值得的！天知道影院内灯光亮起的时候，我的内心有多么激情澎湃！太多话像是积堵在心口的洪水遇到了倾泄的口子。直到现在我还在好奇，导演们究竟是用了什么样的魔力，才能够在我心里引爆这么深刻的感动，我们都是生活的一部分，生活是复杂的，而我们虽然平常，却也有不平庸的瞬间，这就是生活的意义。有机会一定要二刷的好片子！
为喜欢的2d多两星鼓励分和画风，看着就很温馨！这部作品是偶然刷到的，画风很喜欢就去看了，但是剧本太糟糕了就第一篇来说，兔子妈妈整个丧偶式育女，兔子女儿说妈妈每天做着重复的事情，它不会觉得无聊吗……
《糖水铺》《翼娃子》《外婆的铁皮柜》都很喜欢！这种温馨的淡淡的童年的色调！《萤火虫》稍微有点可怕 细思极恐 《小火车》看了个开头就快进了 画风不喜欢也是觉得有点恐惧
11.3
朴实无华，却特别感动
3.5。像是一部动画系优秀毕业生锦集。风格各异，比较实验性。有些比差好，有些比好好。
挺温暖的，最喜欢哼将军和哈将军、小火车、外婆的铁皮椅……
带小孩来看的第一部电影，挺朴实易懂的，有几个故事还不错
国产动画👍7个篇章不同的画风都好爱，尤其是剪纸哼哈将军。给正在长大，又不想长大的每个孩子～
3.5-4/5。小火车、糖水铺、外婆 三篇拍的最好，尤其是外婆，弹珠折射阳光跟树叶隙光两幕真好看，非常喜欢。前两篇来晚了没看见，剩下两篇就一般般吧。
动起来的绘本，因为设想对象是孩子，剧情略显无趣
小兔画风很不错，故事很暖，偏低龄化。喜欢最后两个故事
小朋友人生第一次观影体验，不太喜欢，坐下来没一会就说要走，奶奶安抚着看完，其中哼哈二将出现有点吓到。
《哼将军和哈将军》:好玩，有点意犹未尽。
排片量少得可怜，有限的场次都排在工作日，且不约而同在饭点。在假期即将来临之际总算赶上了本市的最后一个场次。整个慈溪该不会就我一个人在看这么温暖的片子吧。
看完点映印象最深的故事是《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》。当看到“外婆用粗糙的手帮我擦去眼泪”的时候直接破防了。小时候每当我受委屈的时候，外婆总是乐呵呵地安慰我，想着办法哄我高兴，从来没有见过外婆伤心难过的时候。当时就在想长大后也要变着法地去哄外婆高兴，然而她却离开了我...每次想到她，都会有满满的温暖，和深埋心中的一丝悔恨。影片的细节、情节都非常的真实，难得的好作品。
七个短篇小故事合成的电影故事性上都挺不错，看了其他人的短评说是国内首部原创绘本动画片，这种画风我看着很舒服很温馨。 最喜欢的是外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅这个故事，淡淡的忧伤的回忆，实在是让我动容。 其他故事也都很不错，好几个故事也都有各自的隐喻。
七个可爱的小故事 我们都要向着明亮那方 最喜欢开火车那个小故事 简单的游戏下却是艰难的复健 假肢出现的那一刻瞬间热泪盈眶
