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".
有些剧会在特定的时刻出现在你的生命里，并毫无疑问地影响着你的一生。
主要价值还是看花絮，很多年前一直在抠花絮看，能看的都看了。这次放出的片段几乎都是全新的，依然很好笑。至于演员重聚的部分，倒已经没有太大感触，这样简单的一个重聚访谈都能一波三折这么多年确实是挺让粉丝心里受伤的，而且早已可以将演员和角色分开。还挺想看他们聊聊Rachel和Joey的感情算不算黑历史，结果也没聊到。希望HBO MAX可以把全部花絮拿出来剪一剪上架几个小时版本，我更愿意看那个。
我竟然还是会跟着笑，那些经典集真的太好笑了。
阶级划分、精英教育、友情岔路，三位一体，本格推理。用蜡笔小新一行儿童强行嵌套了一个青春燃剧。
风间只是想和春日部防卫队一起变成精英，人啊走着走着就散了，谁还记得幼稚园的朋友啊（emm，我竟然没上过幼稚园）
太喜欢了！六个人之间的互动，回忆，真实而美好！
不是粉丝，看完这部就明白了蜡笔小新为什么能长盛不衰，每部剧场版都评分不俗。去他妈的精英，快乐更重要。
友谊永不落幕。
I just love those guys!
发布的那天就看了，已经是去年5月底的事情了？好快哦
看老友记是十几年前，漫长的十季陪我度过了北漂岁月初期，虽然后面没有再系统的重看，但至今仍然有很多片段时不时出现在我脑海里。记得看完最后一集时情绪很复杂，怅然若失，好久没有恢复过来。这次的重聚无论是出于商业还是情怀，带给我的依然是满满的感动，100分钟的快乐加伤感。
More Than Words ~ 相比十几年前在罗湖买盗版DVD，能同时同步在腾讯视频看到是有多快乐！
一集老友记都没看过的我先看了重聚特辑，结果也哭了，真的是很感人，复刻场景什么的太戳泪点了，还有RR当年的crush，天呐！不拍续集是对的，就让美好永远封存！
改天重温原剧，大概会是十五年里的第八遍。人类共通的情感。
Everybody loves F•R•I•E•N•D•S❤️
阖家欢乐！如果ng花絮再多一点就好了ww。现场说第一季双R互相crush，重看的时候更代入了
一开始以为是六个人重聚演一集新的老友记，开始看了发现是真人秀形式的，有些失望，但是看着看着觉得还是很有心的，还请了很多大牌明星来捧场，值得一看。大学看的老友记，非常痴迷，算是看了1.5遍 ，六个人各有各的魅力，之间的情谊也难得。现在重聚，的确太有岁月痕迹了，女士身材都没变，脸近看的确不一样了，Phoebe反而最不显老，男士除了Ross身材都大变样，Chandler连脸都觉得不一样了，还挺叹息的。
经典之所以是经典，就是因为能够经历时间考验，给一代又一代人带去感动。时间没能让6位主演的容貌改变多少，相互之间的化学反应也依旧热烈，主创在10年间与这部剧共同成长，也给世界留下了一份珍贵的礼物，6位主演在10余年间未曾断掉的联系恐怕也正是片名最好的写照吧。I'll be there for you, and you'll be there for me.
老友记不只有风流趣事，更有生活乐趣与成长道理。
如果你对生活感到困惑，就去看《蜡笔小新》吧。搞不懂的都是青春，无意义的往往充满意义。
