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".
还行吧。。最后有点仓储。。司机第二个发型还挺帅的。。那个谢顶老哥居然是莱托演的啊
3.5/5 看這卡司陣容還以為會是什麼高潮迭起的家族史詩鬥爭劇，結果老雷拍的異常平淡，不讓你感受到任何狗血的戲劇張力，就是老雷想要讓你感受到的戲劇張力，全片2小時38分拍的很工整，gucci家族的興衰史在2小時半內便交代的很透徹，老帕和雷托兩位父子檔是全片MVP，說實話我看本片的最主要原因就是為了老帕，看到他仍然生龍活虎的在耍寶真的很滿足，另外一位發光的角色絕非雷托莫屬，演家族最蠢、最沒才華的老鼠屎，在厚重的妝容下，第一次覺得雷托可以駕馭這種廢到笑的蠢蛋兒子角色，除此之外，這種家族史詩劇拍的最好的還是柯波拉，好幾次嗅到了教父的味道，卻拍不出教父的餘韻，老雷也許是拍古裝歷史題材的料，但是家族興衰史明顯不是他的長向，GaGa和司機表現都不錯，可惜電影拍的過於平淡，無法對他們的表演有太多感覺。
俗套归俗套，每一个人的感情都是那么真诚就很好。一起走过青涩的时光，第一个说爱的人，与你在雨中在众人面前勇敢亲吻的人，多年以后父亲去世第一反应是打给你的人，即使你要亲手带她去拥抱别人，也很难说，你们没有相爱过。她有很多拖累，她也不够你勇敢，但她也是那个下午跟你说，她喜欢你的人。这一切，大概就足够了吧。二汶的歌配在电影里，更加动人。
粉丝滤镜也无法忽视的普通工整which means 无趣又平淡，古驰起伏和背后古驰家族人的爱恨争斗，一切都讲得太潦草了，爱得快恨得快，垮得快兴得快。莱托少爷的表演好惊喜一开始都没认出来。
就离谱 首先 美国人拍全世界故事都用英语 其次 司机彻底证明自己没有演技就是面瘫 雷导在干嘛 gaga还行吧
（见完校长双方老豆嘅对话我真的好反感，极度不适
卡斯太强了，而我看完才知道怪眼熟的女主是Lady Gaga
gaga相对上一部主角演技更上了一个层次。
还是家族里的人太坏太混蛋，腐败的像沼泽或泥潭，完蛋是迟早的。
不太明白的有两点，明明相爱，为何还要再等到30岁？明明相爱，为何要标榜对方是朋友？
只是觉得偏题了 家族的概念在哪里 就gaga他俩的感情史 既然是古驰家族！玩儿时尚的 时装设计的内容展现好少 为什么一点都看不到他们那个年代的时髦 2.5
在墨西哥城住的那个月有天无聊去影院看的西语字幕版，结果电影更无聊，哈欠连天撑到最后。
好一出冗长无趣的大型狗血家族剧，兄弟阋墙、夫妻反目，换着花样的手段放在普通宫斗剧中都嫌胡闹。整体的观感仿佛是一辆往下走的过山车，好不容易上了一座小山坡后，就只剩下下行的路段了，再好的演员无力撑起故事本身的疲乏和平庸。
不好看，演技有点捉急，浴室那段好尴尬。李芯悦这个角色真是看到我莫名其妙。整个电影最好是主题曲。
某些地方还是有点趣味的，趣味大都在嘎嘎身上。莱托少爷完全看不出来，只能说一句牛逼。
也有一刻怀疑为啥要拍出来 一堆假人扮gucci 就感谢科普吧
像纪录片 嘎嘎不适合演哭戏，其他表演很不错，最后的you.can call md signora gucci 很slay 莱托少爷演的很出彩 家族斗争啊
最后关于时尚，影片解释了大牌允许高仿、山寨、水货存在的原因。见证了Tom Ford执掌Gucci，还瞥见了老佛爷（Karl Lagerfield）、索菲亚罗兰（Sophia Loren）和女魔头Anna Wintour等。
梦想的婚礼。
纯情叛逆傻少（？）男被心机拜金女主借机上位，整个时尚大家族被耍得团团转？？？虽然影片改编自真实故事，但是整个细节完全不能让人信服
