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".
故事依然套路化 问题在于角色变得工具化 而不是像第一部那样好好打磨角色故事 更像是在赶工一个商品 好在歌还是好听的 以及大量欧美音乐梗彩蛋 估计再有第三部也主要是听歌了
well内容很浅很小孩，不过我看的蛮开心的🤣，还是我很喜欢的宇宙题材。流行歌荟萃，居然还有Coldplay，我心满意足了😭。对不起，照明娱乐，我今天才知道小黄人不是迪士尼的🙇。
论如何打造一场世界级的华丽演出。沉浸在设定里看moon先生从资本家口中的loser一步步证明自己，还是很燃的。
发现自己真的是韩国政治片的忠实拥趸，诸如《局内人》、《黎明到来的那一天》、《南山的部长们》…即使一开始对韩国政治不了解都能死磕，跟阅读一样，那个不舒适的坎过了，接下来就能好好地欣赏导演的用心制作！就如影评中有豆友提到的，本片在故事紧张感和惊悚程度都不如《南山》，但故事原型和表达的主题不同啊，所以有它自己的特色。当然，总体上感觉《南山》技高一筹，但我喜欢本片薛景求和李善均的演出，实名要求李善均演一个作家角色！然后不知为何感觉本片颇有文艺特质，与人文气息浓厚的《兹山鱼谱》有同样的好感。最后说说本片折射的主题，我用刚刚听完看理想韦伯的音频，试着去理解或结构这些政治实践，也籍着影片理解人民力量、政治理想主义和政治力量较量等在现实世界的体现，有意思！
中规中矩动画电影，听听歌，至少还看得下去。
在电影院看的。剧情是适合小孩子看的，可惜，我已经老了。
想法不错，看的版本翻译太烂了……剧情没啥紧张，看了容易困
太陈腐了。同为黑帮二代，不肯下功夫压腿的猩猩可以走捷径，唱跳俱佳外形美丽的小狼念不好台词就直接去演虫子，这不是歌舞剧吗。眼珠子还挺好玩的，两集都是选拔里的其他组更有意思。
虽然情节过于简单，全是口水歌，但是还是会忍不住想，如果真的把它变成剧院演出会怎样？
剧本立意太差了，本来是一个很好的机会讲讲音乐剧制作背后的艰辛，非要立一个脸谱化的反派，把真正的出品人描写成一个狼心（literally）狗肺，没有逻辑的反派，最后把别人资源嫖完了走了，实属无语。音乐好听，但浪费了前传立起来的角色们。
歌曲版权花了不少钱吧？虽然我一直烦某蛋的颜，但是他仅献声我是不介意的。
歌还是很好听，但本子比第一部弱了不是一点半点。
3.5，Out of this World的创意和结构比电影本身更吸引人
一场特别的深夜演唱会🎉🎉❤
P.S.动画质感进步飞快
什么鬼，续集竟然变成音乐剧people shit
比第一部好看一億倍，故事還是小孩子向但是音樂和動畫本身的跌宕起伏和融合真的做的太棒了。感覺就是在電影院看了一場超爽的演唱會。看到演唱會結尾噴彩帶大家起立歡呼我有那麼一瞬間要哭了，太懷念以前的世界了。（為了聽傑西的配音看的吹替版，沒想到日英可以融合得這麼順滑。）
这个视效美术真是牛逼的爆炸…对色彩的审美真是太高级…故事依旧很棒…续集中难得的佳作
跟第一部比还是有差距，可以说是排行榜流行歌曲堆出来的一部片，人物的感情可以说完全被去掉了，剩下的都是各种形式化的东西。
更多音乐，更多欢笑/金曲，不，流行歌曲大杂烩，但是故事转头就忘
