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".
东映经典父慈子孝，一小时的时间里塞进这么多剧情感觉还是有点太赶了，反派的动机缺乏逻辑性，但总体剧情把控不错。剧情前期给了小陆够多的伏笔，让人隐约能猜出小陆就是间宫，感觉如果像ea一样做成三部曲会更好一些
真的！真的！太好笑 太荒诞！每一步哪怕是最后都看到彗星了 所有的一切 都是还是个闹剧 不过这样也挺好 末日之前至少还有一部分人没有垂头丧气还能听爱豆唱歌 真的很幸福了 虽然那些还能够继续营业的人 是还想挣钱的 而去听歌的 是真的想在幸福中死去 这么说来 我倒是希望 有人不抬头的 所有事情都能上升到政治和资本 他们是那么的自信同时又对一切抱持怀疑 这归功于钞能力 不慌不忙的资本 无论什么事都能迎刃而解 但是钱只能解决文明社会的事 离开地球表面了还是做好安全措施比较好吧哈哈哈
一分打在看好东映在来打上面做的新尝试
真的是恶意满满又诚意满满，本以为是日版哥斯拉反讽日本政府效率低下，又看了一会，才发现这不就是艺术来源于生活嘛？！很真实！几乎所有的人物和故事情节与现实都有对应！影片走向确实让人很无奈！被娱乐文化封闭和控制的国度，遇到大灾难的操作，确实让人窒息！小李子演的是真好，虽然依稀记得他演过的诸多经典，但在此片中依然让人不出戏，甚至跟着他一起着急。
虽然和tv主线没什么关系，但不妨是一部优秀的作品
时代催生的剧本。早几年的编剧估计都想不到有一天会写这么个故事出来吧，穿越到几年前上映，估计会被骂得狗血淋头，等到现实比喜剧还荒诞的时候，终于这种电影的诞生了。其实就算现在看，还是觉得故事站不住脚，但看到新冠带走八十万人还不当回事的你美，剧本的问题就……whatever。好在真正的现实不像荷里活大片一样美国即世界，现实的世界还是有希望的。
把特摄部分剔除了观感也不错，就是时长限制了发挥
浪子想回头就回头这个有点恶心 哪怕是世界末日
如果除了阿美莉卡和俄罗斯，还有别的国家，比如我们作为发射点，还有第三套方案，那这个电影格局就打开了。就是说为什么没有中国呢，因为阿美莉卡它还是受不了，被中国拯救。连这一点，都极尽讽刺的表现到了，又想夸精准了～
托马老师永远滴神，贤人和伦太郎都拿最强形态打，托马老师是一册就完事了。而且托马老师守护小路的眼神是真的赞，并且剧情大体都不错是上乘的外传，只能说你令和老大哥就是厉害
本片是近几年好萊塢相當成功的一部政治喜劇，編導演俱佳，兩個多小時內絕無冷場，有几場戲更是爆笑十足，娛樂性十足，思考性滿分。編導在政治正確的安全範圍內，不遺余力地嘲諷了美國右翼，特朗普以及其支持者，包括陰謀論者，政界，科技新貴，傳媒，群眾等無一倖免。彗星撞地球雖然隱喻氣候變化的危機，但代入當下疫情影響或者极權政治，極端宗教，貧富差距以及人類過於依賴科技等所帶來的危機，也並不可，這種任人解讀的空間之大，可見編導拍得非常聰明，對美國政府只顧眼前利益不顧潛在隱患的諷刺更是盡顯編導的失望至極。
可三线交织的剧作讲述着的 却是“爱” 从家庭之爱、男女之爱到守护世界的大爱
本期待一场加长版日和世界末日呢 还差点意思 but 至少有黑的自由
从故事上来说挺喜欢的，ed也很好听🥺但是还是会觉得托马老师ooc！更像个独立故事……

好像说了又没有，但这好像又很重要，致敬所有的演员和真的很棒的大表姐。
剧情简单但不幼稚，温馨而不狗血。最后人类在知道真相后依然不选择搬迁，人类与巨魔的城墙也依然存在，如果孩子们看完意识到这个事情，我还真不知道怎么解释。能在故事中加入换位思考、与人为善、反战、母爱、奉献等等要素，已是不可多得的子供向动画。
讲的是8年后的故事，小男孩拿到无铭剑后分裂出来了另一个人格间宫，间宫混入托马老师身边，谎称是他的发小，用了8年时间想把托马老师从人们的记忆抹除，最后男孩接受了托马老师，而间宫用无铭剑回到过去，阻止了当初那个小男孩拿到无铭剑。（总的来说皮套不用心，塞壬和贤人的阿拉伯之夜就是不死鸟与远古龙换皮来的，但是文戏方面来说可以说是近几年来最好的外传了，直接五颗星，皮套忽略不计，反正觉得圣刃的皮套都挺好的）
~katy，are you ok？（配上汽车已经开走）。。。
元旦新年的惊喜发现，与外甥一起观影：《希尔达与山丘之王》，可又名《希尔达：进击的巨人》。跌宕起伏又充满想象力的故事剧情让我又感受了去年一月初观看两季《希尔达》的爽！—— “我的孩子，妈妈好欣慰，你们也许不记得我，但是我绝不可能忘记你们。好好照顾彼此，要坚强、要善良、要记得我一直都在身边。”
