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".
万合网感一直都特别好，所以虽然大量文戏，但笑点密又节奏好，打我马那里真爆笑如雷，离谱的对白但就是荒诞好笑！主要角色的火花碰撞都很可爱！选角合适演得又好，听他们扯淡能听一天的水平。梦蝶视角刻画女性互相理解支持真的特别好，邓家佳虽然现在脸有点点假，但没影响表演还是很生动的，有两场戏，眼神还是很打人。
有那么点致敬侯麦的味道，氛围营造非常成功...
不得不说，是非常值得去看的一部电影。你以为是搞笑片，但笑着笑着发现自己泪流满面。
从老秦的演技开始崩，后面逐渐都崩了，整体台词演技有些撑不起来，悬疑和反转就还可以，张本煜有点王千源的感觉啊演的不错
犯罪推理加黑色幽默，挺过瘾的。小警察死之前拼力说出的那个"滚"字快让人笑崩了；
她们相互抚慰，然后疗愈，时间是解药。抛光般的质感，很喜欢。
就像被留在房间里的旧镜子上的
巴黎现代公寓里小家的十年。档案视频穿插得很妙，没有那种这类视频出现在叙事片里时惯见的生硬感，也不曾强说些什么。轻盈，看完走路都有点飘飘然了。
编剧，电影人，文创人，夹的那点儿私货，不能细想，一想即泪流满面
真相应该是三老在远征军的军火上动了手脚和那边分了赃，导致了战役失败，所以那边也会掩盖真相。
好文艺，不仅电影拍得文艺，豆瓣评论也文艺，似乎不懂几句法语，不能说出几个电影专业名词，不能对比几部小众文艺片都不好意思写评论了，而我只是爱这温柔而绚丽的夜呀
看完了！点名夸夸万合各位x 柯达至少承包我一半笑点hhhh父王是真的很有范我晕，太出彩了（被吓到好几次..），结尾看到小爱也好亲切XD声控一本满足
都无法掩饰影片空中楼阁式的无根表达，
影片也让人联系到不少的密室悬疑探案作品，《利刃出鞘》大家对比最多，但反而让我想到更多的是《探长来访》，尤其是最后所谓真相揭露那刻，真相已不再重要，揭露真相的真心才是弥足珍贵的，也是需要勇气信念和善良的。
爱电影为啥不拍个电影出来？这就不是啊。看看豆瓣下面，应该是2021年度商业推广最多的院线，感谢你们赏写手们口饭吃。
就电影论电影，本片够7分，能看出编和导上的力所不逮之处。但冲着最后喻恩泰饰演的导演吼出那句“我他妈也是个有良心的艺术家啊！”这片就值8分了。这句台词是本片导演的自况，更是广大创作者的心声，懂的都懂。
很温情很舒服很简单的电影。充满了巴黎浪漫又温存的夜色，充满了怀旧情绪和时代氛围。人生中总会有不顺遂的时刻，也会陷入谷底而重生，下一篇章是什么样的无法预料，但是总有一些东西是实实在在永永久久的。人与人之间的关系当然不会恒常不变，为了不破坏它甚至不惜远离它，然而那些互动中流露的真挚，心碎时得到的抚慰，伤痛中触到的援手，是永远的好时光，是内心里永久的温柔之乡力量之源。
非常温柔非常美好 感觉是一种很独特的新浪潮
《扬名立万》其实有一个夜莺复仇操控全局视角：夜莺父亲在远征军印度作战时战死，原因是军政部贪污，前线补给出问题了——李编剧报道了军政部贪污案，夜莺得知真相——夜莺了解了贪污案的背后是三老——夜莺利用齐乐山复仇，主动勾引三老，并引导齐乐山杀人后掩护自己逃离现场，齐乐山抵罪——夜莺没料到一群无聊电影人要拍这个题材，怕事情暴露，主动报案，让军政部的人去处理这群电影人——夜莺发现电影人们跑到了越南，就继续跟到越南——最后斡旋制造了越南撞船事件，让所有电影人覆灭，也就是片尾报社小孩说的那个新闻。
有一种温暖的东西，是永存的，时间无法使其停止。喜欢夜晚，喜欢夜晚散步，喜欢夜晚骑车，喜欢夜晚吹风，喜欢夜晚的自由与松弛，各种各样的情绪都会被夜晚抚慰。
