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".
像又不像Scott的作品 - 感觉最近老爷子很迷有钱人传记片，实话节奏故事都一般，不过服装布景演员都是一流。Gaga太神奇了，把Ben Solo衬托地才是个歌手转行的，然后Jared是不是又要去拿奖哦，还有AP和JI镇场，这帮死鬼的好演员真是牛逼哄哄。从来不知道世界第一的Gucci有这么狗血的家族故事，可惜了这一家。。。但Tom Ford以Gucci的名义改变了时尚啊！！！！！！！看好Gucci永远世界第一！！！！！
两星因为大失望，感觉老雷就随便拍拍，搞得和维基百科差不多，没有人物，情绪都是断的。可惜gaga和司机都演的不错
非常具有喜剧笑果，看的很开心.68/100
2.5；人物前后的行为逻辑是不自洽的，几处重要的时间节点都处理得十分生硬。更像是一幕一幕独立的流水账演绎，甚至还不如直接割裂成独立的短篇呢。Gaga的演绎我觉得整体还是到位的，Driver不知道怎么回事，完全没有他在《婚姻故事》和《帕特森》里的所展现的演技了。
谢谢服装设计，我们可以看到西装司机，工装司机，白毛衣司机，滑雪服司机，polo衫司机，芭比娃娃司机，还要什么飞机。各位演技是真的在线，故事是真的就一般。
好看是好看，就是这司机强装的意大利口音英语太让人出戏，但凡选个能把意大利语说明白的男主不就给四星了嘛。听说接下来要演Enzo Ferrari，球球别再来祸害意大利制造了谢谢，把意大利角色还给意大利演员
就是给噶老鳖又演了一套A Star Is Born后面拐到了蓝色茉莉，全程尬口音，想看名门看不到想看潮牌还没有开头趴体骚，在房间里有九十九个人都不想看但那一个人还是硬要拍，年内都不想再看到当司机一眼
荒诞的家族闹剧中每一个成员都应该是小丑，看上去却像是潦草的制造一个女魔头。。。
7.0/10
两星电影，一星服化，是怎么能把这么抓马的故事拍得这么流水账的啊
难为一帮美国人卷着舌头说话了。作为非导演粉非司机粉非莱托粉非嘎嘎粉非教父粉的电影路人粉，很快就感到了无聊。电影里平庸的二世祖们频繁提及家族名称来彰显地位实在惹人反感。这真不是古驰通过献祭品牌创始人为自己著书立传吗？
导演发挥一般。整部片最让我动容的就是奥尔多出狱后得知保罗卖掉古驰股份的表演，帕西诺仍然拿出了他的表演爆发力，他抱着废物而已的时候，就像麦克抱着弗雷多，不同的是，他没有给保罗一个死亡之吻。
看的提前点映。//这么火辣的故事，拍出来却略显平淡冗长。而且明明从Lady G作为中心叙事人物开始的，可故事讲着讲着她就消失了…
整部电影除了lady gaga和偶尔出镜的GUCCI包包你不知道该夸谁。不像电影更像纪录片。冲突戏太少剧情过于平淡。
5.5/10 全程2X。是为嘎嘎入影视圈拍的敲门砖吗。还有Salma Hayek，如今演什么都像在演自己，不懂。1080P 22/02/21
就是从人物到演技到服化道都很养眼……但这个故事不能讲得再深刻一点吗？哦，开罗人在里面的扮相帅到我了。
老了，一个几十年前就能拍出末路狂花的大导演，现在尽拍辣鸡
（全剧最精彩之处莫过于TF在结尾所带来的那场时装秀。
看完才知道是Gaga在演戏……我才知道Gaga长这样……执着于拥有是会心理失衡的。我们本来就一无所有。
最早导筒由雷公传到王家卫，女主演也从朱莉到罗比再到gaga。雷公的老时代，女性当权，干掉一个个阻碍，最后只剩一个最亲近的人。我的目光基本锁定在众位演员身上。★★★/6.4
