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".
看这部电影的一天是工作最忙的一天 忙着scb的事情 gdbc的合并 下午开了一下午会 晚上了边工作边看 晚安😴
《我家楼下那些年》是我每天生活的街区，和摄影机互相分享记忆
就像被留在房间里的旧镜子上的
里面的人都很温柔很善良 已经很久没静下心看这样一部没啥剧情的片了 三星半多吧
如果电影真的能像沈腾说的青史留名，让这部电影留名的情节，不是元素，而是素媛。
整个片子太压抑了，我们到最后还是要学会跟自己相处，毕竟陪自己到最后的只有自己
看完了！点名夸夸万合各位x 柯达至少承包我一半笑点hhhh父王是真的很有范我晕，太出彩了（被吓到好几次..），结尾看到小爱也好亲切XD声控一本满足
有些地方确实能让人发笑，但更多时候我却只是在叹气。好在几处反转比较奏效，而片尾的部分或多或少也能看到导演的野心。
全片跟过家家玩儿似的，你以为离扬名立万只差一步之遥，还早着呢！（听说片名最初叫《一部电影的诞生》，看来导演真对文文情结蛮深的～
温暖 感人 如巴黎夜晚点点灯光 浪漫隽永 而生活的潮起潮落 伊丽莎白经历艰难磨难 历尽千辛 迎来曙光 也目睹儿女长大成人 还有第二春(*๓´╰╯`๓)♡
电影大概从侧面证明了剧本杀是个多么无聊的游戏？以及我们是不是缺乏有基本剪辑素养的人才啊？
充满感性的电影，生活尽管有挫折，但还是可以温柔而饱含爱意的对待身边的人，是让人温暖的电影。新的爱情出现的时候，回想以前受伤的情感，会感恩这个在身边为你的事情而忙碌，认真对待你的人。
全片跟过家家玩儿似的，你以为离扬名立万只差一步之遥，还早着呢！（听说片名最初叫《一部电影的诞生》，看来导演真对文文情结蛮深的～
谐音梗狂热爱好者大喜，迷影梗嘉年华，玩周杰伦的今天想起来还想笑，猝不及防，甚至连自己的《报告老板》都玩，柯达野蛮人一出笑得我双脚轮番跺地（“应该这么拍”就是要这个！）节奏算挺好的，几次反转比较到位，要说硬伤就是第二次本煜为什么不逃跑算了（反正主要目的已经达成，次要目的不过是锦上添花，牺牲duck不必），有点为了戏剧性而妥协的意思，但我也想不到如何处理得更好。还有就是调色能不能再花花钱，做点电影感。演员都好到位，喻恩泰秦霄贤都挺恰当挺有戏的，尤其是对女性的塑造，堪称这种当代小片儿的清流了，终于有个有格局有容颜有身材有脑子的女性形象了，邓家佳很酷很喜欢。这帮人这么久还在一起，而且能做得越来越大且做得不错，真为他们骄傲啊！！好久没有能在影院放心笑的电影，完全可以进一步期待刘循子墨了！
巴黎是夜的城市，是旅人栖居之所。记录和现实的镜头相交接，正是这座城市的本质，因为它既存在于被遗忘的过去，也为人们迷惘的当下加了注脚。那么在Joe Dassin的音乐中舞蹈，是否有一种déjà vu的感觉。这种似曾相识的感觉，潜藏在深夜的电台里，凝固在眺望城市夜晚上空的一瞥，这却需要用一整个白天的时间去感受：一种只归属夜晚的浪漫。
在十三区高楼大厦林立旁的国图电影院看这部电影有别样的意义：这是Elisabeth作为女性自立坚韧的故事，围绕中年、婚姻、家庭，但从另一位旅人塔露拉从被抛弃到找到支点的故事，没那么多复杂的弯弯绕，中间注入了作者私藏的80年代巴黎影像。神奇的剪接在时间里游走。巴黎永远是当代的，参与当代人的自我建构，潜入当代文化影视的文本，它和电影互相成就彼此。
生活不就是这样子的么 没有什么大事 可是也有要解决的问题 亲人 朋友 美食 音乐 舞蹈 加在一起便可以抚慰人心
“我一开始所想象的生活不是这样，但我们还是尽力去热爱它了，对吗。”
李家辉等人既借助电影揭露了黑幕，同时也没有破坏齐乐山的计划。
故事是编的，这根本就是一场有预谋的杀人计划。
