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".
天才早逝。一个热爱音乐剧、希望将其作为毕生事业的年轻人整日在经费不足、灵感难寻、好友挚爱愈发不理解的夹缝中生存，眼瞅即将跨过30岁大关，却还没有拿得出手的作品让世人铭记。当一切成为过往时，他可以用戏剧化的语言、歌曲去调侃，而那些所能展示出的纠结、痛苦恐怕已不及百分之一。作为百老汇与好莱坞炙手可热的当红炸子鸡，导演在片中埋了不少彩蛋，只可惜阅历不足，无法全面体验那份惊喜和感动。以及看起来有必要补一下《rent》了。
以为是新内容 结果是鬼灭列车前篇 善逸 注意节制噢哈哈哈
tv版柱集会是我觉得最精彩的部分，可没精彩到我要花个135分钟再去回刷一遍，到底想什么呢，明明没创新还铺这么长篇幅，抽出tv版的内容压成合集做成电影版就真的是电影了？所以说打心底里讨厌合集，鬼灭迄今为止就一部电影版那就是无限列车，其余的，呵呵哒。
EP.11-14 《鼓屋敷篇》
这类电影很少有对我有吸引力的，不到中间就看得不太认真了
就是说，让有爱的人去做擅长的事，大概率效果不会差。没错，我说的就是让LMM放开手脚去搞他的音乐剧电影，就是好听又好看，华丽又真诚。都在夸加菲的演技我倒是觉得只能算中规中矩，他在演绎角色而不是掌控角色。
有点失望。歌很好听，而且和声比较丰富，虽没有专门的合唱歌曲那么复杂的声部，但听感还是比迪士尼以及大部分话语音乐剧要立体。
故事简单之极，为什么还需要旁白？因为真人真事改编。确实，全篇唯一倚仗的就是真人真事改编了。感情线尤其稀碎。
剥开音乐剧的壳，内核就是个三十岁焦虑的故事，不是粉丝，没有共鸣。
抱着对LMM和乔纳森的痴狂看了这部电影……严苛点来讲，我还是不喜欢加菲的唱腔和唱段，而且我觉得他对乔纳森的演绎浮于表面，导致其看起来就像个焦虑的，笨拙的，自命不凡的艺术家。而事实是，只从片尾的家庭录像带里，你都能看出乔纳森本人那纯真而坚韧的神态
TV版的合集啊……但是再看一遍柱合体也蛮喜欢的
舞臺上的輝煌綻放，隱藏了多少困頓艱辛衝突掙扎，但堅持做自己長於、樂於、敢於投身的事業，而不必急於求成、苦於才力、瀕於焦慮，就是一件幸事。像是看了一場百老匯的音樂劇，希望有機會親臨其境。
在看游郭篇之前回顾了一下第一季的内容！炭治郎性格真的太爱了 永远积极向上 还特会逗妹妹开心 说话总是满腔真诚 好爱他呜呜
80.1
叙述清晰，电影用主角之道编写一生，可惜就是比较简单缺少剧情的冲击
我就mark 给其他人看，不要花时间看了。这是tv抽的合集
与lalaland遥相呼应；导演对“舞台”的掌控力一流；加菲 is soooo underrated（心目中最佳还是Angels in American，神级本子和制作，加菲也奉献了无与伦比的表演！）
开头平平无奇，越到后面越引人入胜（大概是因为悲剧倾向）喜欢双女主和声那段，但是讲真音乐性并没有觉得比歌舞青春之类的高多少，但是加菲和瓦内莎很可以，看到好久不出现在大银幕的俩人老了，内心感慨的同时又残念他俩不是银幕cp非要zzzq的安插一个黑人女，但是又转念一想，始终红不起来的两人有戏演就很好了🥲
时间滴答，看起来总是不够用，我们究竟要怎么从梦想与现实抽脱？有时所有破事总会在一刻爆发，鱼和熊掌不能兼得，而这一切都有所选择。
