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".
看完了，我甚至都不知道我是怎么坚持下来的，剧情太诡异了这也
男主演技可以 故事节奏太慢～看的不够亢奋#
体育竞赛现场直播感很强，不管是摔跤还是跳舞，气氛挺嗨，怪兽也蛮可爱的。要快乐，要赢，记住，做自己就好了。
平庸啊…怪兽造型也做的不咋的，幼儿版爱死机第一季第一季
3.5 广告长片赠送高质量美女贴贴?对不起我拒绝不了。俗套到不需要思考，保持微笑保养眼睛就完事了
设定老土逻辑牵强，狗血交响乐格格不入，不知道是怎么通过立项的，小孩都不看，一文不值。
emmm没啥意思 没看之前以为是和怪物公司一个品质的片子
技术性的不满是可以再剪几刀，有些镜头拉太长并没有情感留白或者余韵不尽的收效，但剪辑又并没有很糟糕，好几次闪回都很出色，制造了时空穿梭所特有的信息提醒功能，但最出色的必定是题材：二战幸存者故事永远可以警示人性中的残忍和坚韧。残忍的是“斗兽场”式的擂台、纳粹党卫军拿犹太人取乐以及拳击赛败者直接枪毙的嗜血，让人明白军官与拳击手之间的关系并不是“农夫与蛇”，而是冰冷的权力威吓，拳击手并没有讨价还价的空间、树林里射向德国军官的子弹是自卫且正义的子弹；坚韧则是哈夫特与扬在擂台上的交锋（“不要死在德国人手里”），集中营的犹太人之间分享的那些悲伤的笑话则构成了面对惨痛现实的自救，而莉亚和米利亚姆都是他的一生所幸与一生所爱，前者是活下来的动力，后者令千疮百孔的灵魂复又长出新肉。幸存者并无法抹除受害者烙印。
美国老套情节，不好不差，可看可不看，动画还是很优秀的
质感好差……而且细节不抠的话就完全没有设定本身带来的有趣感了。怪兽如何和人类一起生活？睡竞技场吗？人类每次看到摔跤难道不都会死一大片吗？人设老套拿世界观来凑啊。
一个从集中营中幸存下来的人，再怎样都不是正常的。也更值得去过完他的一生。
故事的结局肯定是能猜到的，但是也有自己的价值输出，也还不错吧
欢乐片！怪兽摔跤还是挺有创意的，就是女孩和怪兽的父亲的失踪之谜未解开…
路人简直就是模拟人生里截出来的，都做的很粗糙，都穿很紧的T恤……我还以为怪兽为了追求自己的梦想，最终会选择跳舞，没想到是把舞蹈融入到他并不喜欢的摔跤里，算是折中完成梦想吧。
人物动作有些不流畅/怪兽形象还能更好/除此之外没什么大挑剔的
跟另一部讲述二战时期波兰拳击运动员塔德乌斯在奥斯维辛集中营的影片《冠军》水准差不多，虽然完成度比较高，故事很完整，道具布景等也都做的挺细致，但真的不够感人，也不够吸引人，我觉得剧本还是弱了些。唯一让我欣慰的就是哈里夫妇安享晚年，互相扶持走完一生。还有就是我可以理解男主在集中营里为了生存去打拳，也可以理解想在美国找到女朋友的消息。但我不理解的是男主为啥要通过记者在报纸上写故事来扩大名声，好让自己去和马西亚诺打拳？就算拳赛打赢了，那也只有体育迷关心，在那个年代肯定还是只有一小部分人知道；而如果故事写好了，看的人多了，肯定宣传效果比打拳还要好，那样女朋友更容易知道吧！那打拳不是脱裤子放屁多此一举嘛！我给3星6.7分，删掉！
五六分吧，剧情比较老套，看完整集我有点好奇父辈都去哪里了？ 不过怪兽跳舞还挺有趣的。
很明显要拍第二部，教练和摔跤手的父亲失踪从前贯彻到尾，把这么一个伏笔写得明明白白，第二部再找回他们的父亲呗，非要这部电影里反复提，导致观影体验极差，就像是在告诉你:这部电影一般，你得等到下一部，看他们找父亲的桥段才是惊喜。本来就亮点比较少，这么一整，更难看进去了。
非常套路，但完成度还不错。另外，为什么怪兽摔跤场要以教练名义命名，而不是怪兽摔跤手，还不是把怪兽当畜牲看待呗。
集中营的回忆部分太少了，现实情节没必要这么多，毕竟集中营里的生活才是最残酷的，没有拍出那种幸存者的感觉。
