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".
分太低了吧…镜头审美还不错啊其实，就是剧本不太行，而且高能都是假的…只能造成紧张几秒钟吧。胜在立意，如果这是针对种族恐怖主义的“复仇黑人都市传说”，那我真的很想看（或想拍一部）针对性别恐怖主义的“复仇女都市传说”，最好男的看了都不敢一个人去上厕所
3.5 虽然oldfashion但是看这谁要动脑子呢
音乐很好听，虽然不现实但是甜甜的爱情也太美了～
大明星×普普通通的数学老师单亲爸爸。主线剧情没什么特别。舞台表演好看，歌也不错
故事老，人也老，不过觉得两位主演倒是挺适合这样的角色。P.S.Jlo还是挺好看的。
能把这么有意思的偶像剧设定拍得这么难看也是一种本事
撕手皮经典恐怖，但是整体的黑命太贵，理解但不喜欢～
20年前，当我上小学的时候，偶然看到了洛佩兹Love Don't Cost A Thing的MV，简直点燃我整个夏天，可如今我变了她也变了，可这电影的套路没变，太老套了吧！
最惊喜的就是用到美恐女巫专属bgm，改编的还不错…… 皮影元素也比较新颖，血腥部分也算隐晦。 但总的来说召唤糖果人无论好人坏人都biss显然立不住，如果只是单纯像结尾惩恶扬善那还说得过去，总会带着种族主义的色彩。 再一个，蜜蜂咬了赶紧去医院，别耽误。
原来是被救下的小孩儿长大了啊。这哪是糖果人找到了你啊，明明是你自己好奇去撩骚被搞了嘛。话说被蜜蜂蛰一下会变成那死样子吗？被蛰了之后手变成那样都不去医院看看的吗？直到最后手都快成炭了才去医院，你真的是画家吗？画家的手不应该是很重要的吗？槽点太多了，真的是不好看
前面看着还蛮带劲 后面一步步zzzq的垮得有点快
两颗星给JLo和片子里的歌，确实很美&蛮好听。
但是, 2.14 看这片很正义
说实话，对于本片，詹妮弗·洛佩兹的一系列宣传和影片中故意渲染欧文·威尔逊又老又土一样，过犹不及了。我能够理解主创对犹如诺丁山和保镖情缘那种跨越身份克制而有升华细腻的感情的向往，但到头来，那毕竟是属于三十年前的创意，在这个红火过气一夜间的时代，这不是个很有冲击力的故事，浪漫畅想值得尊重，但到头来值得一看的只有那几首歌罢了，那何不就拍几个MV好了
美国萧亚轩在演唱会直播婚礼时突然发现未婚夫出轨，然后甩了对方，并在观众席随机挑选了一个路人原地结婚了…好看！很俗套的那种好看～令人嘴角上扬！
画面精致，镜头考究，恐怖气氛还不错，但导演把黑人种族问题过于强烈的扔到观众脸上，结尾的说服力也稍显不足～～～
哎，要是能真复兴90年代的rom com就好了
一群大咖拿了个网文的剧本，工业流水线精良制作，却还是拍了个寂寞，无趣的爆米花
一直入不了戏，看到结尾我只想说请放过密恐症患者！
导演基于zzzq，应该是在表达种族问题，然而，影片越到后面越失控，整个变成了四不像…平庸无趣，乏善可陈！
