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".
这剧情这节奏实在浪费了服化道，浪费了大魔王！刻意而无趣，只有传统电影的色调，好好的精髓都给稀释掉了。
德尔托罗的这部新黑色电影风格虚无、略显压抑，第一幕用色调和各类视觉元素（如多次使用虹膜镜头）致敬早期默片，之后则回到他最爱的二战前后年代。本片的摄影、美术、服化道都水准颇高，片中的嘉年华场景让人印象深刻，但人物塑造颇为薄弱，比如鲁妮玛拉的角色非常苍白，布兰切特的角色更是没能有机融入叙事。影片中心围绕在男主角的心理活动上，确切地说是围绕在他如何面对自己装神弄鬼的骗术上，不过影片并非纯粹基于逻辑和事实，也有意滑向神秘主义。影片最大问题在于，在男主角做出结尾的重要决定前，影片既没有进行充分的戏剧铺垫也没有完善的心理描写，导致影片的结局显得生硬、刻意，难以与迷人的第一幕媲美。
看完后只能想起那两句老话：出来混，迟早都是要还的！和 恶人还需恶人磨。 片子节奏有点偏慢 | 凯特女王的气质实在太赞 | 本片改编自已故美国作家William Lindsay Gresham在1946年出版的同名小说,也曾在1947年被拍成电影。
受不了了。最后是什么替身文学笑晕了啊哈哈哈哈哈。各种cp大乱炖，嗑就完事了，要说剧情，基本忽略吧
最后和凛在学校里那段 真的很无语 被鬼上身了 突发恶疾了 说出那种话 都是被艾尔伯特影响的吗 他怎么那么厉害😅
比老版冗长太多，加入过多心理分析元素（特别是父亲这条线），男主贪婪本性大大削弱，可惜陀螺除了画面感外并没有带来什么实质性的东西。
故事说，你不能愚弄人，因为人们会愚弄自己。对这部以及更多部好莱坞电影来说，他们不能老是控制观众，因为观众会控制自己。对于陀螺来说，他不能在电影里解释一切，因为他的观众需要自己的解释（情节太实，不干脆，人物没立起来）。
被低分的作品，德尔托罗的风格依旧犀利，有一点类似于邪恶版的远大前程，乡村小子学了一堆技巧，贪婪的他想要的更多，结果惹了不该惹的人，做了不该做的事情。
严重怀疑是想借两位女演员东风，可惜两位女性完全是摆设，那么，在我这儿，他就是洗q片儿了。完成度相当低，自圆其说的相当低能，最后变身geek简直是为了反转而强行设定。molly和doc的人物完全是为了衬托男主的花瓶存在，毫无性格特点，跟男主也毫无化学反应。这样的故事这样的完成度，还不如再去看一遍Carol。
看到遥真琴凛宗介等一行人搭着电车，陆续有伙伴下车到站的场景，突然就伤感起来，free这么多部就是主角一行人的成长史，我看大家游了十年，少年会长大，动画的故事也会慢慢走向结尾，大家步入20岁以后会有不同的选择，会在不同的站下车。
感觉已经看蒂姆波顿拍了很多嘉年华游乐园，猎奇的感觉没了，漂亮朋友神棍版，只不过有些隐喻有点意思，二战背景下一个被战争拒绝的，被母亲、女人宠爱的无法长大的男人，依赖女人、弑杀父权，他就是被福尔马林浸泡的那个怪胎婴儿，生为怪人。
磕磕巴巴的，连流畅都做不好，尽管摆出一副获奖定制的架子，恐怕白来一遭。
一个衣冠情兽、玉面情魔的人物，和猩红山峰的设置像的。但这部叙事更好，有两个前后呼应，与“以前”的揭秘；缺点是两部同样是人物细节差点，只有叙事来支持，人设有但不丰满，库珀你也就觉得他好看，其他自私、不择手段都是叙事支撑。暗藏的大boss是大魔王，但以为的boss是鲫鱼啊，这选角和形象完全不行，感觉最多就是个管家。怪物最好的去除就是啃鸡脖子，前后呼应，但也是剧情的，没有那种形式化的描述就觉得不够啊；受过“恐怖表演”治疗的顾客都基本以死亡告终，所以最后的结局并不冤；2077拍电影，鲫鱼保镖适合演主角那个大个头拍档。
相比1947版，我更喜欢这个结局。斯坦像是被命运安排好的人，发现怪物，成为怪物，贪婪虚假迈向黑暗深渊，而不是被救赎。
救命 最后在干嘛 论橘真琴先离开带给七濑遥的精神打击？
第94届奥斯卡BP领衔凑数影片。找出本片翻拍的意义，比找出入围的理由还要难。
不好看 没意思 就是俗套的马戏团故事 除了看一众大牌露脸 没有任何看点
整体还行，在告别学生时代，而且泳技有所精进的今天看来感触要比当年补tv动画的时候要深得多。就看结尾部分haru的ooc能不能在下部圆回来了(
几天时间全系列刷完了 画风和画面的流畅度都称得上一绝 半身和特写镜头几乎完美 不过全身镜头就很容易出现崩掉的比例 整体看下来 因为剧情走向没有什么太意外的地方 也没有觉得很热血… 但有时候不太想看运动番是因为最后一定会因为升学、毕业而逐渐变成失去高光的大人，在回去看第一季就感觉真的内心复杂。
只能说京都不愧是你，让我每句台词都想吐槽，每个cp都想炖
