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".
二，最后我看了那个彩蛋，我才知道，其实那个火灾只是有些人把一团火扔下来而已，不是真正的火灾。让我了解到如何拍电影。
我觉得挺适合孩子看的，后来觉得适合大人一起看，我觉得童话没必要太过较真细节，又不是烧脑片，有些人真的太苛刻童话了
可能是最近实在是太焦虑了 情绪不稳定。看到开罐头的一瞬间，想起小时候在被窝里看皮皮鲁与鲁西西，直接泪崩了😭 我以为我长大了，忘记了曾经，结果并没有
罐头小人作为童年看过的第一部皮皮鲁系列作品，至今回想依然印象深刻，“童话大王”的想象力真是丰富，有些场景还原的还不错，各种老物件，各种彩蛋装饰，魔方大厦舒克贝塔，带着八九十年代人的回忆，奇幻冒险加友情，批判弘扬加思考
（不过本来也没有什么好办法）
是误导性已经大于了教育性吧。。冲着这个就想减星，想想看在小演员辛苦没有忍心减。
力捧我童年的偶像，虽然并不尽如人意，但还是想给五分支持，皮皮鲁和鲁西西伴随着很多人成长，但几十年来都缺少影视形象，这次电影是一次有益尝试，希望以后有更多的郑渊洁童话走上大银幕，成为大ip，塑造出经典深入人心的角色，中国童话电影加油！ 另外，郑渊洁童话不只是孩子看的，更适合成人、家长，希望更多的人走进影院，“结识”郑渊洁！
有时候想自己是不是太谨慎，在网络从不透露个人信息，连注册捆绑号码也都是曾被公用的旧号，永远无法查到我个人实名。所以敢在这里说真话，写真实想法，记录真正内心历程。在一个没有任何熟人的地方畅所欲言，不避讳内心的阴暗面和小心眼
老郑的作品当下要影视化必然要削弱几分尖锐，但这些尖锐恰恰是原著里最抓人心的部分。我理解主创们剥去老郑对成人的那些戾气和近妖魔化，但转而将书里的不体面转移到小孩身上相当不高明，想明白这一点后那段考场高光就没任何热血可言。结尾大人们的纷纷转变生硬得像掐点直奔主题，也像是为前面对孩子的冒犯进行补救。
不理解为什么那么多人都觉得不好看，我觉得挺好的，唯一想吐槽的就是李小曼为什么这么像偶像剧里的恶毒女配？(⍥(⍥(⍥(⍥(⍥;;)
三星不能再多。电影定位有问题，影片故事是85年，童话大王伴随长大的应该也是这个时期的孩子，这些孩子已经是大人了，如我这般看这个电影感觉好幼稚；如果受众是现在的孩子，孩子们估计很难产生共情
鲁西西演技在线，皮皮鲁就是打酱油，虽然猛烈抨击应试教育，但其实有用吗？
一边觉得不好看这是啥玩意儿并庆幸没有留着和我弟一起看
可能我不是儿童吧。可是我还是觉得拍得很差劲，完全没有代入感，是因为制作问题。
有些情节尬了些，小学没有这么高压，想不通全是水泥的教学楼是怎么烧成这样的。
笑声和眼泪齐飞，暗黑共“正能量”一色。
郑渊洁的精髓 一部童话 探索的是教育 后半段小说里没有的 变成了肥皂片
阿米尔汗也是这样干的。 有些地方质感不是太好，那个和小人对戏其实不难，但是表达的内容已经很有勇气了。最难受的就是小人代表的其实是女孩的梦想，她在走廊上一遍遍喊着自己的梦想。
比较初代的绿幕技术，确认看的时候小人和“大人”在一幕的时候，甚至是小人单独的场面比较失望吧……即使有些技术不好运用……用道具去实现一些小人单独在的场景，我觉得也算是比较有诚意吧，比直接把小人P上更像一部电影。对内容到没啥可说的，只是我觉得老师前后的转变有些硬，既然注定让老师当个反派，中间一点铺垫没有（也许教导主任开除鲁西西的时候有个触动的镜头），最后成了都是我的孩子……感觉铺垫的不太够吧……说实话，全片除了“王老师”一个算知名演员，其他的连个三线演员都算不上……加上大部分场景连道具都没做，直接就绿幕抠图了，感觉制作费用应该不高……五六千万的票房希望是系列电影还不错的开头吧
改得好像是有点多，作为电影来说比较普通，老郑的NB大概拍出了5%吧。但当我看到大人们在欢呼，只有鲁西西在哭的那段时，完全想起了小时候被震撼到并决定不当“鲁西西”的时刻。是啊，孩子和大人的悲欢永远不相通。长大后的鲁西西会有一个美好的未来吗，当然会的，但绝对不是老师和家长设想的那样。
