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".
欧文老了啊，20年前看过他主演的《深入敌后》。。。
没看过老版 其实这也不是翻拍 看起来像续写 运镜好牛皮好高级 看着就爽 镜像里杀人也有意思 但是编剧这剧本写的糊里糊涂 我看的也是云里雾里 还有感觉翻译是不是有问题 看得我更晕 但主要还是在说种族歧视问题吧 最后警察上来就开枪抓人 抓完威胁串供 这嘲的牛皮啊哈哈哈哈哈 这集合体candyman只杀白人 搞得跟黑人卫士一样了 最后好酷 说实话我可能有黑人脸盲症 看着看着我就分不清谁是谁 看了点评才知道最后的candyman的脸是老版的 懵 然后结束后剪影也很有趣 我都看完了 这部质感真的可 就是剧本稍微乱了点
什么渣男会因为女友提名了格莱美就吃醋跟人家分手，也太普信男了吧。JLo穿着高跟鞋跟果冻一样小跑是我最大的笑点。还有现在感觉有一个拉丁男友是大美国最fashion的事！
rarbg，环球影业出品，洛佩兹一把年纪了还在演这种老套的歌舞爱情片，而且最主要的是她和欧文威尔逊这个一把年纪的谐星一点都不搭好吗，搞不懂为啥现在好莱坞喜欢安排这种反差情侣，或许因为反差萌？
Maluma虽然演技不行，和JLo的化学反应真的强，就在我几乎要相信男女主的感情时，麦迪逊广场演唱会一出来，张力十足！就这样了咋还难选男主呢……

虽然但是
至少看着轻松惬意心不累。JLO真是不老神话。美利坚现代网络社交版诺丁山影子。但威尔逊显然没有休格兰特的儒雅劲头。移动媒体的短视频，配角们性向梗，大明星女主最后追爱男主找回幸福，二十年间这世界被互联网，女权主义，政治正确改变了很多。
很像没文化版的美国诺丁山，看回海报还是惊呼当场结婚的剧情：甘都得？！owen wilson的鼻子在海报上也好像p正了
欧文老了啊，20年前看过他主演的《深入敌后》。。。
整体节奏很紧凑的电影，前半段悬念的铺垫很到位，后半段真相逐渐揭晓后直接变黑人爽片了，太过直白导致后劲不够。补充两个喜欢的细节：看到黑暗地道直接把门关上拒绝作死的女主（打破恐怖片剧情俗套）& 游戏玩到一半夺门而逃的亚裔女生（亚裔在黑白种族冲突间的缺席）其实还是不错的片子，从三星改四星吧。
在学校舞会上说自己在他们的年纪做了一首歌
主创应该是真的相信爱情才会在2020年代拍这么土的电影
离JLo的古早爱情浪漫电影《曼哈顿灰姑娘》正好20年，离惠特妮-休斯敦《保镖》30年，时光流逝，仍然相信Rom-Com里的爱情！
预告片比正片精彩系列 剧情前后不通 逻辑矛盾严重 看完了还是不知道candyman想要的究竟是什么 女主父亲的身世也是略微提及 意图不明 洗衣店老板的黑化更是莫名其妙 黑人 同性恋 种族论 全都沾了 但搬弄得却很是僵硬 为了表达而表达不可取 很难说能及格
剧情很俗套，又挺甜的。那就听听歌，磕磕糖。
感觉编剧很年轻也很水……
还能看，两位老将，尤其女生保养得太好啦吧，男二要比她小二十多岁啊看不出来。女主的经纪人这位英国喜剧男星，减肥了不太好玩了嘿嘿
人有多大的几率可以在随机中选择到正确的那个
2022/3/29 MSP alone 就是那种绝对跟现实不沾边的片子，可是还是能被这样的虚空动容
