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".
和儿子一起看完，整体竟然比《熊出没重返地球》要好。是说动画和特效要比熊出没差很多，但篮球这样的体育竞技带来的燃和热血为电影加分，而且这样的故事和故事理念也恨容易被孩子接受。儿子看得又蹦有看，看完还搂住我，大概是电影里的父子感染了他…
剧情老套，但好在完整。关于社畜、追梦的那些内容都是老生常谈了。故事走向也非常传统，反正还能看，中规中矩
人并不能因为毫无负担地出生就能毫无代价地长大和死去 每一个瞬间都是在欠债还债 所以不要感到委屈 对这句台词深有感触 无法想象没有记忆地活着是多么地可怕 意识的安乐死了吧属于是 完全失智之时就是与这世界告别之时
这部电影在观看的过程中最大的感觉是绝望。那是一种没有希望，无力感遍布全身，折磨着自己，也折磨着别人，满身愧疚的感觉。这部电影的节奏不急不缓，沉稳但不平淡，在灰暗与悲伤的基调中透出平静的温情。
一个，过于克制。
整体还是偏低幼化，但是能普及一下篮球知识也挺好的，只不过现在看喜羊羊的小朋友真的不多了
优点
中间被暖羊羊感动到了，原来她是守护队的核心人物，突然喜欢上了默默无闻的暖羊羊。
剧作在线，叙事的话就比较平常，不过画风的变化有点接受不了
已知是催泪题材，所以看时不自觉提高了标准，一边看一边心里发弹幕：「有钱真好啊」「感觉年轻人得阿尔兹海默症比老年人还痛苦」。不过庭审戏有让人眼睛一酸，女主在法庭上憋不住尿，几位女人带她去洗手间帮她换下装，女主不停挣扎，哭着喊着要爸爸（患病之后，一直是父亲在照顾她）。
患者的弱势地位太明显，女主惨得我大哭
韩剧在煽情这块做得很好了，从剧本故事线到演员对角色的拿捏，能让你想到身边的人或事。
缺点
带儿子看的，自己仿佛回到了小时候看灌篮高手的时光，依然是那么燃。
满满的正能量啊，虽然剧情比较低幼，但是很有趣啊，当好莱坞沉迷在黑人，丑八怪，同性恋，少数族裔的政治正确中无法自拔的时候，我们的动画要抓住机会抢占市场啊。
最后真不像在看篮球，像是黑子的篮球，特效又有鬼灭之刃那味儿。
虽然涉及到这类题材的表演，大部分是技术上的展示，但徐玄振做到了诠释出病理演变的过程，是将一个成年人的体面、自尊逐渐抽空的状态，尤其最后她在自己的女儿面前失去了所有为母者的铠甲，完全退化成一个倒错了亲子关系的孩童，甚至可以说是像一只仅剩下生命本能的动物，其实这种演法不一定真正符合阿尔兹海默症的科学逻辑，但是放在电影的呈现中是足够好看的。可惜的是安圣基因为受限于角色的功能性，没有更大发挥空间，父女线如果也能和下一代的母女线紧扣成环，成片质量会更上一步。
世界观全都变了，灰太狼开始上班，小羊们也不住羊村了，大半年都不见面，就微信联系，说实话还不如卖情怀呢
影片超出了预期，纪念2022.2.14和谭莉。
3.5。如果画风再精细些观感更好。
