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".
啊…就韩国偶像爱情电影。但允儿的造型太心动了
姐姐：你想过我会陪你多长时间吗？为了你好，我一直都想离开。但是你知道为什么我还没走吗？我想让你笑着说：我要离开这里了。我一直在等。
一個蓋火車站的故事，和等一句「我要離開了」的故事。說故事的人用一種很舒服的方式說了一個學會「放下」的事，笑中帶淚、感人至深，主演都好棒，好甜也好暖。奇蹟的發生必然要有天才的存在，而我們真實生活中沒有天才、沒有奇蹟的話，就看看這些天才編的好故事吧，至少能讓心情變好、生活過的美一點。
这电影跟主人公一样思路混乱。但是猫很多，忍了
我觉得导演肯定不是猫党，拍不好猫就肯定拍不好一个猫痴的一生。
海报很可爱 元素全戳我的点 但正片很无聊！sherlock里惊鸿一瞥的日裔小哥的导演功力明显不行啊
不可否认的演技，可我还是不知道这种人生需要被写实记忆的必要。那个年代的女人就要这样吗？Emily都可以做家庭女教师养活自己，这五个姐妹就这么混着终身未嫁……
纯粹是因为猫加分，编剧和导演都一般，有几个镜头不错
喜欢猫咪的朋友记得看一下这部电影。喜欢里面的所有演员，都是熟面孔。
精致的画面，古怪的主角，可爱的小猫，组成了一部《路易斯·韦恩的猫奴人生》。私心来讲还是比较喜欢的，当然电影中的小猫对此功不可没，没想到还有喵配英字出现，实在很惊喜。头号猫奴韦恩不仅爱画猫，还改变了人们对于猫作为宠物的看法。在韦恩成名之前，他的朋友问他养猫是不是为了捉老鼠，韦恩说是为了当宠物。朋友表示很担心他，韦恩不解，朋友解释道：因为你拿猫作宠物啊！——正在抱着猫观看此片的我膝盖一痛，并感到吾等养猫人都应感谢这位前辈。
温情，感人，火车上对着姐姐说我先走了，那里感动的不行。父亲和儿子之间互相爱着又有一层隔阂，最后打破僵局的过程真好，允儿真好看
比你先走一步的爱人其实更担心把你一个人留在这个世界，短暂的幸福怎么也忘不了初遇的皮特，那是光芒洒进摇摇欲坠的家庭。去发现并与尽可能多的人分享，思念像电流一样流窜全身能不能把过去的事物带到现在。继续画画的时候就不再孤单，记载着梦魇的笔记本里那一角初见时的披肩，原来艾米莉一直守护着他。
画好看，但没有感受到Electricity。
又孤独又疯癫又可怜。画面特别美。喜欢晚年疯魔以后的画风。
this world is so mad and lonely while colorful and beautiful
爸爸和儿子都不要再恨自己了
怀揣着对亲人的挚爱和遗憾/自责和悔恨，一定要用尽力气地好好生活啊。
看完才知道 导演的前一部作品是《现在去见你》 也是采用铁路来拍摄 就说看的好亲切
画好看，但没有感受到Electricity。
姐姐不存在的反转很牛逼。林允儿真好看。无他
