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".
一个三角恋和黄赌毒交错的故事，前面还有点大鱼的影子，后面就拉胯了
虽然脸会不太一样，但是，终于要来了！
拆散大魔王和小白兔就算了，故事也这么老套无趣…
确实没必要这么长。You don’t fool people, They fool themselves. 人们都是自欺欺人。骗子渣男活该去当geek。人性还是喜欢残酷的东西。geek真可怜。卡司骗人，让人期待过高而失望。连着看了三部大魔王的片。
1.画面感拿捏了 2.回忆杀 3.剧情紧凑要素很多 4.剧情抓马为下半部铺垫 5.不看真的会错亿 5.凛遥是真的 6.对全员陷入爱情
有些地方剧情设置没有说服力，但整体是好看的，库珀这次演的还可以
最后突然被心魔附身是什么鬼 再一次虐凛遥🫠
CP我觉得还是分的蛮明确的，真遥宗凜哥嫂等等等等，最后的忘年会就是5对基佬的交流会哇！！！
20220228 前半主攻视听/美学（有几个马戏团内的镜头非常漂亮）后半主攻叙事 加上结尾的闭环 怕也是陀螺能做到的最大平衡了 可也无爱可诉；终于还是赶上了最后一场 w/ Paul // 20220301 太自信 太昭然若揭 虽然也未尝是坏事
不用担心 过了二十岁也不会变普通的哦www
黑色片的成功“彩色化”，视效没得说。黑色片真的是古龙的宝藏啊，几乎部部都可以当古龙看。Cooper越老越辣看得狠人不淡定。

7分吧，期待了两年多，还是想四星支持一下心爱的陀螺，已经是这些年拿到的比较好的本子了，老派但够黑色也极具寓言意味，非常适合他，也让他在自己擅长的怪诞领域做了充分的发挥，虽然魔兔零互动但各自贡献了很好的表演。另外美术美如画，希望今年的奥斯卡能冲一波艺术指导哇。
宛如一场漫长的噩梦，红衣的少女金发的少妇平原上闪烁的摩天轮，美丽又泛着诡谲的画面翻滚不息。故事最大的问题是我对他们毫无连接感，观影的感受至始至终都太抽离了。我觉得他们彼此也是disconnected，我和他们亦然。
22年这版You don't fool people, Stan.They fool themselves.
这个剧场版可以拼凑出所有cp，真谣，宗凛，凛谣，凛郁，郁谣，旭郁，夏郁，夏尚，宗真，诸怜，贵澄，贵谣，外加一个黄毛一个白毛。每一对都有对手戏，CP大乱炖女孩会巨满足。不过没看前三季的人，基本上看不懂这个剧场版。另外声优阵容几乎是近年来最豪华的，集齐了宫野真守，小野大辅，内山昂辉，丰永利行，津叔，细谷佳正，平川大辅，日野聪。就差神谷浩史和小野贤章就可以凑一个大满贯了，非常感谢京阿尼给我们制作出那么好的剧场版。希望这十六个大男孩能永远的游下去。
《水形物语》、《潘神的迷宫》吉尔摩德尔托罗执导，经典翻拍1947年同名电影，Bradley Cooper全裸上阵，全片散发着迷人的中年男人气息。鲁妮玛拉和大魔王Carol (2015) 后再度交锋。还有威廉达福的精彩表现，虽然觉得并没有什么发挥的空间。片子更像是对老电影的一种致敬，没有所谓的深度，片中角色人物的的动机也显得单纯甚至愚蠢，但好在演员的演技都在线，让原本平淡如水的影片变得可看性适中。
没有看过老版。所以无从对比，但是剧情的首尾衔接最后让人惊悚。像是自我完成了一个轮回般。听说老版的宗教意味很明显，但新版却没有，就是活生生的诡计较量。男主像从地狱爬出来的恶魔。在嘉年华里伪装成普通人，却在繁华的都市里原形毕露。最后被打入更深的地狱。
剧情太水了，摁头给吃齁死的糖，刚吃完就捅你一刀，节奏跟踩了狗屎一样，看在原番的面上才勉强三星，醉了
陀螺标志性的影像风格，前半段马戏团的表现力极强，服化道也精致的无可挑剔。但是这个故事。。。冗长乏味，Kate大魔王根本没啥发挥空间啊，感觉就是在努力向femme fatale上靠。
