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".
Used to make me smile
国漫总算有一次跳脱开了神话改变的民族蓝本原创故事，美术、配乐、节奏、台词都好的一塌糊涂，真真正正做到了笑中带泪，既不矫揉造作又实现了寓教于乐，希望制作团队精心打磨剧本慢工做出续作。
要有爱和光啊～～～～～～
整体挺好莱坞的，有的地方甚至有点刻意套路。但是中国电影能有基本套路的样子也是进步。很优秀，情感有穿透力，今年少有的好电影，值20亿。配曲配乐非常牛逼了，上映要去看！
它避重就轻粗糙敷衍到我不仅遗憾我甚至生气，同时却不知道因为它是国产所以可以骂得更凶还是应该鼓励性评价，只好不打分了。
呜呜呜汤姆·汉克斯人类代言人forever！
一人一狗一机器人，演技依旧在线（但只因他是汉克斯，于是对大部分影迷而言，只会觉得稀疏平常，正常发挥），情感浓度充足（但剧情属实四平八稳，毫无惊喜）。整体中规中矩，汉克斯保证影片质量的下限，但上限及其有限。唯一打动我的是杜威“死掉”的那一幕。★★★☆
真好。尤其是后半段。影院即将下线，切勿错过。
5/10。放到爱死机第二季里都是不及格水平，短片的体量撑成长片的必然结果。一人一狗一机器人末世求生，完全是国内可以拍的题材啊为什么没有呢？廉价的眼泪，看开头知结局的故事，这才是马丁批判的游乐园。
全员工具人为剧情服务，剧情老套到即使是很少看电影的我都能全部猜中，硬生生点主题，主题是“我不想被人看作病猫所以我拼搏舞狮得了省比赛第一名然后我就成了狮子”，对此借用友邻一句短评——“我爸没有医保，你友内卷到爆”。开豪车的女孩说你要坚持梦想，却连个联系方式都不过问仿佛这种一眼就看出的被迫出卖体力的漂泊真如对方说的是“体验生活”。男人至死是少年，女人却要为一次失败的婚姻买所有单，还要负责让男人快乐。
渐入佳境 其实是个很俗气的故事 但气氛渲染到这 还是哭了 结尾真的很喜欢 那首客家旁白曲真的点睛了 虽然生活没有动画里那么轻易 就像我少年离家后 就再也没能回去 “用心看完后 你不会去在意眼睛是大是小” 但人物建模这真的好丑哈哈哈哈救命
很好看，对广州的描绘非常细致。影片中出现的云，我手机里有同款！！！！本来只准备打四星但我身边居然有人跟风认为导演夹带私货（他看都没看过就看网上说的就这么认为了），所以我要打五星，气死这些蠢货。
但也足够令人动容了
希望所有的狗狗都能这样被善待，地球随便怎么样吧。
点映。差点因为名字而错过了李白的诗。年度最佳国产动画。黄飞鸿、周星驰、《激战》，致敬了无数港片。配乐选得恰到好处，满，但快意，人文色彩与现实主义齐飞。无厘头风格喜剧下包裹着悲剧的内核，随着两代人追梦的足迹，又煽又燃。梦想这东西，从来都是那么一言难尽啊，即便中年又如何呢。
“为了狗做一个机器人”这个设定我就无脑五星。但是最后的照片上为什么没有杜威，我很不高兴。
就很舒服。改稿改到生无可恋的一周，太需要这类电影来开启周末，莫名被戳到。那些企图一萌遮百丑的片子都快来学学。喜欢Jeff～
“舞狮如人生 都是上山下山 未必都会赢 但一定不能输”
真的，狗子不管和谁玩球，最后都会把对方丢出去的球捡回叼给主人（主人在场的情况）。我们豆小葵十年如一日！末日公路片，一人一机器人一狗子，两个小时从绝望到慢慢被灌注希望和光明。Good year，真的很喜欢狗子的这个名字，2019年可能是未来10年来最好的一年，疫情、经济、气候变化...都形势严峻，芬奇所在的未来，臭氧层已经被严重破坏，人类为了生存时刻要泯灭良心挑战人性底线。而他把狗子托给杰夫照顾，这个机器人继承了人类的善良、坚韧和爱，带着狗子去了希望之地。汤姆·汉克斯又一次奉献了绝佳演技，杰夫在他怀里那一幕眼泪就破防了，最后小家伙摇着尾巴把球丢给杰夫，又乖乖叼回来了，我似乎看到没有表情的杰夫喜极而泣的样子。有爱，就有希望。珍惜可以呼吸新鲜空气、沐浴在阳光下的日子吧！
