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".
典型的剧情套路但是好看，评分低可能是因为前些年韩国电影的飞速崛起把国内观众的期望值拉的太高。
我丑，你也丑，大家都该这么丑，丑是美的新潮流。好可爱的暗号。
超级好看！配表姐家娃圣诞假期看了12遍😂😂😂
·老邓的计划未免也太小儿科？
Not the label on your cage; who cares what a bunch of silly humans think！
崔岷植叔叔啊，二十年前您可以选这种剧本。现在了，睁开您的大眼吧！！
凸凹的口音真的是游离于英美之外的第三种English Maddie本来就很美啊！喜欢一些漂亮的蛇蛇🥰
天才数学家、师生情谊、韩式青春校园、南北关系的混合，虽然剧本很老套但发现自己很吃温情这一套。片中反应的数学教育和研究的问题，让我深有感触，全都把数学作为达成目的的工具，反而少有人发现她的美。天才就应该在与世无争的环境中去尽情施展才华。电影把数学和音乐结合起来，不说教的展现数学的魅力可圈可点；老戏骨和新生代演员的对戏也是看点。
还是那个巨大而无法弥补的毛病：所有的场景灯光道具服装等等都非常精致，但就是上气不接下气讲不好一个故事。
“大家猜猜我帽子底下邪恶丑陋的东西是什么？”“我猜是你的脸🙄”。整部动画都很澳！
全片都是以一种儿童文学的梗去编织正传故事，可以用更放松的心情去看。优点是故事完整；政治阴谋到几段感情羁绊都有始有终；几场大特效都非常好，尤其是魔杖战斗，是我见过制作最精良的；洞窟趣味性十足，回到了密室的记忆中；巷战用霍格沃兹的东西也很亲切。缺点是关键剧情儿戏化，反视计划、黑人卧底、巷战换包、夺权失败，都跟闹着玩似的
还有个一部关于数学奇才的日本电影。虽然两部电影风格不一样，但我更喜欢日本电影《阿基米德大战》更有利于学生建立“数学观”
但更重要的是知道问题是什么
日本男星凋零后，东亚代表男演员就只有崔岷植了。
大型玄幻卖腐，监狱螃蟹舞段落以为在看网大怪兽片。自以为是的悬念铺陈，也没看懂反身术和藏麒麟的高招在哪。新蝙蝠侠反恐反无政府，这直接奔向神灵迷信。
不喜欢这个主题和故事，小蜘蛛跳求偶舞唯一亮点
视觉效果还是挺好的，片名可以改成《邓布利多的弟弟的隐私》
选择做正确的事，不要做容易的事。
剧情有些舒缓，节奏偏慢，靠着老戏骨撑起一片天。剧情：喜欢听巴赫的高中学校门卫大爷居然是脱北的数学奇才，但不知晓手机播放音乐。而又创作“圆周率之曲”…
如果单看师生关系和对教育的探讨的话，这绝对是一部不错的佳作，可惜当片中引入了南北问题，无论把教授孩子的死归咎于朝鲜还是教授本身，其实都不是很合适。但愿国内将来才能知道自己的教育改革失败得多么彻底。最后片中女主性格好阳光、好可爱啊！
