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".
相比剧版来说节奏更慢，情感表达也更细。沟通不能靠魔法，必须亲口将自己的想法告诉对方才行。
这一部明显比之前的好很多，可能是因为大家都降智，时间线插叙，让我没第一时间理清楚的原因//恭喜这个系列电影从悬疑解密转型成信任和爱的主题了//原来杰西和star的演员已经……哎，RIP//就是反派塑造不行，一出场知道这是鱼了，骗什么都不如骗观众
一群骗子骗了一个无良骗子。只有小少爷什么都不知道太可怜了。诈欺就像魔术，妙在布局变化。前面多线叙事以为团队内讧，实在是障眼法。最后一个骗开保险箱太老梗。被老骗子小骗一把，略示警戒，还是师父技高一筹。没心没肺的长泽雅美太可爱了。
五星纯纯是因为我太喜欢电视剧版本了，电影版真实来讲只能给2-3星。没有任何为电影版打造的大场景(昨日的美食至少有给一段美美的京都)，不知道在电影院看的意义是什么。且节奏好拖沓，合着根本没有什么矛盾冲突的平淡发展(家人也都亲事答应的太快了)让我看了好几次手机现在几点了。。甚至连精髓的笑料部分都少，观感还不如情人节sp了呢。只是为了给粉丝一个交代的感觉好强烈。不过我依然还是那么喜欢町田和赤楚，ライブビューイング看到他俩默契的一对一答才让我有了些姨母笑的感觉。喜欢樱桃魔法依然是很开心的事呢，不会后悔。也会继续关注他俩演出的其他作品的，町田的古装也很好哇，町田土方什么的！！！
骗局精彩程度4星，希望这个系列见好就收，千万别拍出烂片。
我是来加入这个家庭的
结构上玩了点新花样，但最后还是绕回老套路上了，有限提升。
完全是之前剧的喜欢支撑
太好猜了
安达家人瞬间就接受儿子是gay
表演浮夸，剧情也不能细想。但熬过了前面一个多小时，还能看！就是漫画嘛，何必当真。
“没有英雄的国家并非不幸，需要英雄的国家才是不幸”。一贯的模式套路只能说还行，否则一个场景多次回顾不免引起反感。江口洋介这次竟然参演了欺骗团牛皮
中间开始回溯剧情的时候我以为就到大结局了，结果才到一半，啊胡子男这次的歌也没有Pretender好听，还有熊猫在哪里啊？我怎么没看到啊！
可能是因为在电影院看的原因，觉得剧情节奏配乐什么的太不像电影了。电视剧可以大段留白，表现内心挣扎什么的。但是电影院看就太尴尬了，叫配乐都没有的空白太多。大大的HE，完全粉丝向作品。
其实是觉得这部不如系列之前的作品的，但是也不知道还会不会有下一部了，就有始有终打五星吧。马耳他景色真美，疫情期间是真的只能靠看电影云旅游了orz剧情的多重反转已经完全掌握套路了，guest卡司也是一如既往的豪华，但是这一部里濑户康史令人无语到让我无比想念star和杰西T T彩蛋对2.5次元音乐剧是不是有什么误解，还我第一部的偶像麻！从阿酱到花花证明太田大法好？
有种被强行投喂糖果外加人生清醒言论的感觉。然后或许是因为换到了大屏幕就效果很emmm…但是还是有一种圆梦的感动诶～或许是因为知道现实生活中事不如意十八九吧。希望平行世界的他们可以永远这么幸福下去～然后想感谢电影让今天显得格外美好～
这一系列已经是戏外多磨大过戏内转折了。惨剧加丑闻让麻妹更显牙白。华丽的助演阵容是不是预示着还会有戏。
啃完生肉，其实感觉古泽良太已经有些竭泽而渔了，比起上次的公主篇，这次的英雄篇略有些炒旧饭，刚开始就略为能猜到最后的走向，但行骗天下已经形成了自己的宇宙观，到处可见达子画的那幅珍珠耳环的少女，活在台词中的杰西和star，还有斯德哥尔摩综合症的赤星，一切都是那么有趣。这次特别将三个人故事分开叙述，确实活在故事中的人生真好。（最惊艳的还是我花，我花从头美到尾，恶女也好清纯也好都好好看！
老套路，但还是很好看
“我要成为公司里举足轻重的人，这样我们的关系公开才不会影响到我们任何一个” 安达几真的攻到妈不认，虽然尺度还没有剧里大（撇嘴）
