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".
成都人，四川人，嘿地道，嘿有文化，嘿美丽，嘿醇厚，就像喝白酒，呛的你眼泪流下来，脑袋爆炸出高兴来，兴奋的二麻二麻的
1.5。喜剧元素出众，笑点属上乘。靠细节抓住时代感，通过时代落差反过来促进笑点
没有想到这么好。一开始笑死，后来又哭死。结尾尤为动人。
全程没get到点，明白想要表达的东西但是感觉有点故意，没有很自然，看之前先看了网评都是好评，我觉得不至于。贾玲哭戏看得人一点也不想哭没有一点感动的感觉，喝酒的那场说下辈子做你女儿那段看得尴尬，三星只是觉得搞笑的部分还行，整部剧的高光时刻只是张小斐的那场哭戏，整部剧只get到了张小斐。
穿越实在烂大街了，再加什么花样也是烂大街；非要搞喜剧最后是悲剧那套，那干脆拍个正正经经的电影多好，喜剧元素剃掉不完了；演员实在太熟，跳脱不了以往的印象；剧情有的地方过于尴尬... ...整个片子就像一个个小品合起来的冰糖葫芦，但最后几个放的都是苦瓜。另外，平心而论，冲着前期的笑料，片子可以勉强给及格。但是，这个片子放春节档就离谱！！贾玲最后几分钟就不停在哭，还要勾引你也跟着哭，大年初一的，看这玩意儿图的啥？像我这种母亲已经过世的更看不了这个，气
如果你要陪长辈看电影的话，那就看这部吧。基本上就是贾玲版的《夏洛特烦恼》，完成度很好，笑点和泪点都到位，感觉会是春节档期大众口碑最坚挺的一部电影。一开始你以为这是一个熟悉的穿越设定，最后一反转，你会发现这不仅仅是一次穿越，而穿越的背后正应了母女情的主题。完了结尾的字幕又补了一刀，原来这是贾玲自己的经历，用这样一部电影去追忆母亲年轻时的样子。穿越回八十年代，从工厂记忆，女排比赛，黑白电视到祖父悖论，都是能引发几代人共鸣的设计，以前都是看贾玲笑，这次是看贾玲哭，很多人却是跟着她笑着哭。
这仍然是国内主流价值观，我仍然与它们格格不入。
“妈，你怎么那么爱笑啊。”
非常不错的一部电影，看完给人不同的体验，新的感受
神不能一直在，所以创造了妈妈
“可是我妈现在还不会”这句话出现后的转折是我怎么也没想到的 一贯的思路都以为只有晓玲自己穿越回去希望能让年轻的妈妈更加高兴 谁可知母女两人一起穿越回去了 这是这部电影最大的转折 也是全片泪点开始 让老套的穿越剧更加新颖 挺中规中矩的一部片却也很特别 母爱一个讲到烂的题材 可是这部电影还是刷新了大家的印象 妈妈怎么会不爱自己的孩子呢
绝对五星，名副其实的华语年度最佳！荒诞的艺术，光怪陆离的社会变迁，《霸王别姬》的隔空对唱，模糊舞台和荧幕的扑面而来的丁达尔效应，极具个人色彩和地方特色的空灵的戏梦版的表达
我只能说，真的很好哭。从贾玲发现妈妈为什么会缝裤子开始，就戳中了我的泪点。穿越回去的妈妈看到女儿也掉了下来，第一反应是伸手去接；总是那么开心温柔的对女儿，说我女儿怎么总是拉裤兜怎么这么好骗；为了省钱，等女儿走了再退票走回家；最后跟女儿说，你要健健康康快快乐乐的，贾玲哭着说我不行，妈你别离开我。大家都说，只有自己做了母亲才会懂母亲的伟大，身为女儿，身为妈妈，才真的明白这句话有多么的正确。父母是拦在我们和死亡之间的一堵墙，只要他们还在，就总还能把自己当孩子，能觉得背后还有依靠。年纪越大，越害怕衰老，害怕总有一天会到来的离别，然后懊恼自己还不够优秀，没能让父母过上无忧无虑的晚年生活。每一天都是在和时间赛跑，希望自己能跑的比父母的年纪更快一些，我不希望最后只能在梦里做让他们高兴的事。
把二十多分钟的小品拉长到两个小时，没有好导演和好剧本还是省省吧。
“你以为你很爱妈妈了，但其实妈妈比你想象地更爱你。”
要说贾玲才华横溢那肯定是没有的，这部电影也确实像一个大型小品。但是以近年的喜剧片横向比较，至少这部基本没有那些低俗笑话。虽然离高级幽默还有距离，但足以为同行表率。在悲剧内核里嵌入喜剧是本片成功的重要前提，而这悲剧不仅在于对主角的同情而更多是共情，就再给影片增加了后劲。结尾显得长而直白的煽情是减分项，我想说导演不要太低估观众，最好的表达方式不一定要说出来，让悲剧在喜剧性之下涌动可能更好。
从电影层面来说，这片子也就值两星，没有导演思维，没有剧作逻辑，甚至可以说不算个电影。但是它胜在真实的情感以及强大精准的催泪点（母爱的早逝），观众的情绪完全被这个带着走了，压根顾及不到其他方面。原以为豆瓣这里是最讲究逼格以及聚集了最多深度影迷，打分会比较讲究，然而从评分结果看，其实大多数人还是吃这种情绪大补汤，理性在感性面前啥也不是。希望以后不要招来大片模仿，这样的整体电影审美又下坡路了就，这样就比较可惜了。
言过其实 这样的电影如果冲击全球票房前五十的话 是喜剧的悲哀 只有诚意 欠缺专业 和《我才不要和你做朋友》中间差了《夏洛特烦恼》加《芳华》的距离 不能说是老梗堆积 但抓不住心绪 忙碌工作中途的喘气 被强行塞了呼吸机 大概是这感觉
感情上到位了，可以理解子欲养而亲不待的心情。
我要强烈批评影片最后刻画母亲买票又退票在大雪天中一个人走回去的镜头，我不接受，母爱不是因为牺牲才伟大，爱与关怀本身就是伟大。
