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".
小人物的奋斗史，坚韧又动人！哭了好多次。易烊千玺和小哈琳的演技太棒了！坚强哥哥与懂事妹妹的组合，妹妹问哥哥「你很累吧？谢谢你」破大防😭😭😭
笑中带泪，泪中带笑，文导+千玺和一众演员发挥的都很棒，缺点可能mv剪辑有点多，但瑕不掩瑜，感恩。
很励志 。现实不得不把人逼的很努力很努力才行。绝境中的努力和勇气，能带来希望！再坚持一下，万一呢
那些默默无闻的底层人民，组成了这个繁华盛世的人间烟火
只要通过电影，通过这部电影乍看愚蠢的名字：奇迹。
以主旋律献礼片的角度来看，是优秀的。以文牧野的真正实力来看，只能是合格。
“我们的同志在困难的时候，要看到成绩，要看到光明，要提高我们的勇气。”
一些呼应的段落，第一次出现送妹妹去上学的时候，妹妹和孙爷爷打了招呼，因为这种长久的日常问候，后来哥哥来迟了，爷爷才会收她在保卫室里，有点想到 在第一幕出现的枪，第三幕一定会响 。
当然比起药神还是有所差距 最明显的就是太难以共情 且不说这个拆手机作坊的用处如何 且说这样能做成。我还是对他们之后能成立公司成功报怀疑态度。 当然 造梦嘛 给奋斗者们灌碗鸡汤也是可以。
奇迹是奇迹，但要当真，可能真就是小笨娃了……
血汗打工人，又是一个“大有可为”的题材
同性恋、恋母、谋杀，男权社会中的禁忌与秘密如同藏在木头堆底下的兔子，导演一根根掀开木头，兔子始终不跑出来，你只能通过缝隙看到兔子颤抖的身体和祈求的眼睛，直到他被抱出来杀死。
这种电影太好哭了。觉得自己可以对工作、生活可以再上点心。
真的很好看的一部影片！全程无尿点！有泪也有笑！有苦有甜！就是我们身边很多人的模样似的，被搬上了大荧幕！每个人的演技都在线！
好好的现实主义题材电影，为什么胡乱添加浪漫主义和成功学呢？
当大老板说一个月后再来见我
挺好的，2022挺适合看这种打鸡血的片子，但是现实只有笨小孩没有奇迹。
我真的很不喜欢这个导演，把我很期待的电影拍成这样，就好像添加了一些白开水在本来调好的冰咖啡里，我要去看看这位导演的其他作品是不是也搞成这样波澜不惊的感觉
前面拍的挺好的，演的也挺好的，但後面漸漸發現，原來是大灣區宣傳隊的作業
7.3分，前面不错，有泪点有笑点，但是深夜车站追击戏大可不必，结尾更是一塌糊涂，还不如结尾到电梯里那场戏呢，不过优点也有，许多细节不错，剧情是老套没什么新意的鸡汤片，但是四字的演技肉眼可见的强了，不是四字粉但是因为有四字女友粉的好朋友，我真的也几乎是一路陪着她看了不少四字，确实是越来越好，希望四字加油，演员们都演技在线
