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".
2022年了这样的剧情未免太老套，男主后段想分手也有点突兀，但是歌曲是真的好听洗脑
他两在一起是真没有Cp感，应该找大本来。还有就是Jlo的身材真是几十年如一日的一级棒
废话有点多，糖果人的镜头也太少了，是打算拍成系列？
太久太久没有看到制作精美内核实在的romcom了赶紧打个友情分 制作真的很不错 节奏拿捏很准确 如果用心看 嘴角很难不一直上扬 歌也很好听 虽然故事比较老套但是包装上了一些新潮的元素比如Live、男主身边的女人是LGBT Group之类的 JLO状态还不错 很庆幸电影里基本所有人都在做自己没有硬凹一个反派出来 总之这种电影看着开心就很好了
男主真的平平无奇，不过，用在这个故事上，就还行吧。能接受，小甜剧看着玩吧。
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
带着点所有黑人为主角的电影都会讨论的种族问题，我还蛮喜欢皮影戏的表达，就是削弱了本就没多少的恐怖感
感觉好像在演jlo的真实人生一样 她怎么做到的五十多岁这个状态太牛了 这种不需要动脑子的片子看着也挺开心
看到一半来评论的。
真的是没法看任何爱情片，就看海报就能知道全剧情的电影，倍速看，硬生生还是给看哭了。加一星私人分吧。JLo真的好美，又飒又媚，又自信又脆弱，在台上闪闪发光。
就，还行吧……
粗暴的设定并不能掩盖如同福克纳小说似的光芒，借由镜子为载体而出的肆意屠杀，则如倒影一般完全反射出白人对黑人同样的历史举动，无法消除的仇恨任由聚集的蜂群无休止地传递下去。
及格线上 歌唱得真好 男主太老 女主太壮 诶
挺好的，看了100分钟的Live。无脑享受，甜甜的白日梦爱情，越看越顺眼，磕拉了。
被预告片骗了。其实jlo演她自己就很好，而片中人设是三十五岁、受青少年喜爱的流行女歌手，可是唱的歌完全过时，绞尽脑汁也想不出一个对应的女明星，人设立不住，导致观感很分裂，不如就演中年diva一切都说得通且更有看点。
就 有被笑到（plz不要把诺丁山拖下水 thx a lot）
没看 就凭现在最讨厌的政治正确就可以打低分了 垃圾政治正确的电影都是垃圾
故事承接1992年老版《糖果人》，有一些看过老版的观众才能理解的段落。影片是传统的砍杀电影，主打暴力和血浆。虽然导演想要融入黑人被不公对待的社会批判元素，但技法没有老版的纯熟，显得刻意。男主角的遭遇和转变交代得模糊不清。本片最主要的突破是交代了“糖果人”其实是一个团队，是被白人虐杀或冤杀的黑人的怨灵组成的。整体较为一般。
虽然有缺点，但这部整体来说本人真的很喜欢很喜欢，里面的每一首歌也超级好听，很推荐
