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".
动物们的形象还是很可爱啊，歌曲也挺好听的，剧情也简单，虽然扯了点儿，但是表演的剧本还是挺有想象力的
第一部每个人都是平凡人的缩影，每个角色也都有着难以克服的困境。当困境得以克服，影片的高潮也随之而来。如此多线叙述依旧保持节奏紧凑的优点，在续集里荡然无存。如果说第一部是平民翻身记，那第二部就是平民进入上流社会的不良反应。住一流宾馆，使用一流灯光舞美，却只能贡献出一部靠视觉效果推动剧情的三流作品。每个人物的动机消失殆尽，剩下的表面动机就只剩下为了名利。怎么说呢，就是一部肤浅的表面繁荣的续作。
8/10.
为什么要比较？ 过年不就应该喜庆、乐呵、充满正能量嘛！ 美国人玩这一套简直忒在行了，推荐，
依然足够欢乐！欢迎Buster Moon 先生早日携团来华交流演出🥸
日本版绝美之城（那些让你感觉到活着的时刻）日常又丰盈的打光 就像普通当中的不凡 / 一定会普通 日常的重复 新鲜感与好奇 第一次的紧张 都是生命的奠基时刻 那些你瞳孔放大手心出汗的时刻 不安全 但一点也不普通 /
这么版权真的很牛逼，创意想法很好。但人物塑造有点扁平，尤其是反派。当然很多剧情也比较生硬，但动画这个题材本身弥补了一些生硬的问题。整体还是好看的
开头剧情有点无聊，来家里玩的2个小学生（一年级和高年级）都不怎么感兴趣，感觉一直在唱歌，6号下午自己看的，后面还行，就是哈士奇不管她爸了，我有点介意，U盘放不下了，13号下午一边做其他的事手机又放了一遍，虽然歌曲也挺多的，但不像看完第一部那样去下载片中曲，感觉看完就过了，结尾大白狼被警察抓走时，助理心碎地喊出 I love you，就跟前不久误杀2里面市长被抓时秘书长的表现有异曲同工之处，讲真我看网文都从来都不磕上司和秘书这种cp，毕竟打工人各种内心吐槽上司才更真实，不懂
抽著她的煙 穿著她遞的服 聽著她哼的歌 看見的都是她的幻影。酒吧老闆的那束火紅花 黑幫小哥留下的手絹 突然凋零的東京塔——曇花一現的人物 散落一地的碎片 豪言壯志與兢兢業業最終都化作了碌碌無爲的垃圾。我們都……大人。
完全属于现在的电影；在无法逃脱的困境中生存吧
看过1，奔着U2的主题曲来看2，结果整部电影都不如那首歌有意思
小苏和佐藤一起唱尾崎丰的时候真的太好了，喜欢这一段。太好了让森山来演这一部，浅野堇太好看了。
还有什么比窝在家里陪女儿看她喜欢的动画片更好的事情呢？
I thinks this is one of best cartoons. 各种情绪饱满到位。反正是戳到我了。
太空歌剧的舞美真的看得我😍😍😍😍😍梦中情台！！！
越到后面越好看，一个普通人回看自己曾经不想变普通的半辈子人生。喜欢里面的一些台词。“就算每天都是这样，好像也不会讨厌；
一般般，有些歌挺好听的，就是剧情太过于普通了。
每个角色都好脸谱化……枯燥的剧情，耳熟能详的流行歌轰炸，和第一部差太远了
很爽的音乐剧感，我完全是被想象中万一变真实的舞台震撼到了，太华丽了也。乡村乐队进城实现梦的小感动还是有的，但说实话老板形象愈加崩坏，拿资本反派来平衡美德不完善的小人物实在不是上策，但歌还蛮好听的，btw，环球今年要用bad guy几次？
更直给的《薄荷糖》。反复出现的“普通”和“银河”，是成人世界的稻草和解药。
