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".
四个业界内的"大神"搞了个低配新海诚,估计新海诚今年那部应该会碾了这部。
这剧情我不敢相信是老虚写的……除了视觉效果一无是处。
画面绝美，故事稀烂，没头没尾。人物稀碎，全员工具。2022女孩还在牺牲奉献，爱人让她变完整，还在露腿勒胸拍裙底……救！
莫名其妙/虽然我也不太相信老虚剧本拉成这样，但是设定与一些细节老虚的即视感真的太强了，姑且就认为老虚只参与了设定创作，因为故事讲的乱七八糟，刻画的毛都没有，节奏也是一塌糊涂，要多差有多差。跑酷做的也许确实帅吧，不太戳我，人设也没什么好谈的，美人鱼是吧…不过泽野弘之的配乐确实非常非常出彩
万万没想到能难看成这个样子。概括下来就是泡泡成精因为幼年男主说了句我听见你唱歌，女主就变人了，前半段完全是野生动物状态，长相各种桂正和女主既视感。话说泡泡区域明明可以出去的，这群人决定跑酷对决赚物质，甚至直播。怎么有种跑切尔诺贝利博流量的感觉。最后跟主角队战斗的别队无偿赞助动力鞋救自己跑进东京塔🗼的女主，女主变成泡沫消失了。男主抱着女主残块逃命的时候╯□╰男主没问题，编剧他的精神状态还好吗？真的不是慕残嘛？！男女主请的素人配音在一堆声优里清浊音基本功最不好。哎……现在也是流行让明星配音可是他们发音内力不够啊！
难为泽野弘之了 在如此糟糕的剧情里 还是恰当的做了绝佳的音乐😄
老虚可以滚了！赶紧的！！！小日本引以为傲的动画片被你拍成这样，呵呵，那小日本动画真要完蛋了！荒木也是接剧本时不看看是谁在当编剧！
整部动画优点和缺点都很明显。画面和音乐无疑都非常不错，但是人物形象的刻画和剧情的铺垫和收尾我认为都做得不是很好。
泽野弘之：满分，兼具动感恢宏。
虚无缥缈不知所云的内核加上莫名其妙的跑酷加上神魔恋的戏份，欣赏无能。
这么多大佬只挂了个名是吧，新海诚式电影最重要的不是精致的画面，是细腻的感情。完美诠释什么叫空有其表，剧情烂透了
即便未来这个世界结束生命，地球迎向毁灭的命运，我们到时候，仍会成为巨大螺旋的一部分吧……”
密集恐惧不要看//场面很大 设定越看到后面越hmmm 女主好像洗着洗着就没了的肥皂（这是可以说的吗//女主是谁配的 棒读//这么牛的班底团队 想想都知道大家期待值有多高 但作画、配乐、配音、剧作 我也不愣比了 只能说有些几百亿大神是真的在领域里杀死了比赛…搞奇异设定也要尊重基本法//斐波那契看了都想流泪…这个主题升华让我不知该说什么…//男主露脐装很潮啊//越想越气…是不是几位大哥攒局骗Netflix钱啊？？这是老虚应该有的水平吗//一年至少看东京塔爆炸五次 那个泡真的没有neta akira吗//现在作画都是一张几帧啊 前半段是真的有点不行//亚当和夏娃 海的女儿 罗密欧与朱丽叶
2倍速都嫌慢 这是老虚？这是诈骗吧 女主最后消失的过程特别像洗衣粉放多了
非常失望，画面还行，动作也流畅，配乐很好，但就是没什么吸引人的地方，剧情泛善可陈没有探讨的欲望，节奏也是莫名其妙的。一堆大佬加起来的效果很一般，只能说比较无聊。
我想过会给这部电影打5、4星，或者是1、2星，结果它居然卡在了三星上……
还是一个老问题：现在的霸权社除了炫技究竟还会什么？ 经历了Vivy高概念低执行的平庸之作，还有《国王排名》的慢节奏恶疾之后，我对于这部干瘪的命题作文已经挑不出更多优点出来。（除了作画，也仅限于此）当然，除了虚渊玄的脚本拉胯之外，导演荒木哲郎也要背很大的锅，因为文戏和调度真是差得不行。 无论是跑酷桥段，还是感情戏，又亦是高光时刻，要么扭扭捏捏，要么就是松驰。 既没有剧情片该有的稳健，也没有爽片那般畅快有力。除了吐槽故事和人物还有不上心的霸权社，本片也没什么有意义的东西值得观众留念。
画风有多好看剧情就有多烂
这剧本我严重怀疑除了结局的螺旋，爆炸重组的立意以外完全不是老虚写的，真就一个童话故事换个皮不怎么改就直接套用？还生怕观众不知道用对白这种低端的方式直接呼应？表现女主男主爱情时的定格特写很细腻，跑酷动作很华丽，泡泡世界体现也很酷，女主卖萌撒娇很可爱，但熬夜一倍速看了个这剧情真的很倒胃口很伤心，扣一星。这波除了剧情真的没人需要背锅了。
说不出有什么不好，但也没什么特别好的点，可惜了这么豪华的制作组……小畑健老师的角色设计还是太纯情了，让伊藤润二老师来更能配得上BGM
