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".
我不知道那些给差评的人是多冷漠。。这么好的一个片子还要评价电影效果，评价是否按原著拍出来。。真的够了。。这片子反应的很现实，看了心里特别不舒服。。也很能理解小干，在震后失去父母，只有惠姨和泰久相依为命。。使他又重新感到了温暖。。但现实社会很残酷。。我觉得这个片子应该在中国上映。。让国人有所警示，不要再继续让我们这个社会变得冷漠！残忍！每一个人都是应该存在的！不应该被无情淘汰！弱肉强食！那是动物！不是人！
剧本还是很细腻的 因为原版是音乐剧 音乐盒舞台比电影版要精彩很多 本片虽然有很强大的配角卡斯 歌唱的部分却没有很强的代入感 电影版应有的镜头语言和调度也是本片比较欠缺的方面 当作半个宣传片来看也可能是更好的定位
没有风评批得那样差，原剧本为底拍出七成都不会难看。存在情节转换生硬、镜头语言不佳的问题，当成无官摄音乐剧的补充比较好
6。”You’ll Be Found” is still touching. 剧情不太行。
这电影太差了，他完全没有把原版内疚的感情表达出来，演的像个变态、到最后是无路可走才回头道歉，这种剧本模式真的已经过时了，这个是史蒂夫导最差的作品毫无疑问，俩个多小时完全没有必要，角色的塑造也失败到极点
没猜到凶手，宽叔角色还是走不出加贺，おかえり那里泪目了，日本人也真冷漠，嘴上说是没有血缘的一家亲，抱着哭哭啼啼，是经历过生死的至交吧啦吧啦的。如果能常打个电话，也不至于让老太太饿死在家里……小女孩被领养了不方便，那砂糖那个角色哪怕再多做出一点点，老太太就不会死。可能是中日两国观念不同吧…不懂，大不懂…考虑到老太太的尊严，哪怕不给钱，你周末多送点菜不成吗…二十一世纪怎么还能饿死人呢
为什么大家会喜欢看awkward high school kid的故事 电影拖的好长啊啊啊啊 说一句话停顿三次。also, evan is srsly a little piece of shit 心疼两位妈妈
1. 地震的恐怖與後果只有感受過的人才能體會
就会觉得自己在世上是孤独一人的
剧情细碎，演员舞台剧的表演模式跟电影的镜头取向差别太大了，歌倒是好听，故事也还不错，讲述的内容量在电影模式的加成下确实是有一些升级的，但舞台模式无可替代，光影艺术也不能代表全部，不太合适还是不太合适。
看得出来导演很努力了，但是太不会讲故事，还可以的题材，这么多反转，居然这么努力的讲也没讲得感人，没办法，我已经努力的融入，还是置身事外了。
个体很小，无能为力，灾难面前，真的渺小，分线叙述感观不错，女主的情感转变差点意思，破案过程也蛮无聊的。灾后重建，也难以平息人的创伤。
一个掏心挖肺的剧，电影改编是怎么做到一点起伏动人的地方都没有的？服了导演。很多的原本很震撼的台词和表演都被掐断，马上投入感情的时候戛然而止。歌曲的引入太生硬了，跟马戏之王比，我再也不嫌弃马戏之王了。其他歌删掉我理解，但我觉得不应该删Good For You？最后，Ben Platt. Ben Platt. BEN PLATT. 赞美一万遍Ben Platt，三星全给Ben Platt.
- Good For You
苦大仇深的一部烂电影。所有感情都突兀，佩服演员居然演得出来。看了1/4就能想到结局，越看越尴尬。怎么能这么烂。。。困死了我。
「Lift your head and look around. You will be found.」
Evan Hansen竟然不是基，我有太多音乐剧要补了！还是没搞懂他们唱歌的时候，电影里旁边的人也和我一样看到他们在唱吗？三个从booksmart认识的妹子都在今年看到了她们的作品，可以说是新生代中流砥柱了。妈咪AA唱歌，我梦回enchanted。
20220421 done 感觉不是很好看，剧情比较慢
还没看音乐剧先来电影版预习 评价都说改编很灾难但我觉得至少歌是好听的 话说给自己写信真的是有用的therapy嘛 听完音乐剧现场回来追评➕一⭐ 我觉得电影很不错啊！虽然不太理解把conner爹改成完美后爸的理由，但alana改得真的拔高立意 并不是popular kids就一定很快乐 每个人都有隐藏的伤痛 妈妈和evan和解那段剧场此起彼伏的抽泣声 这也是第一部我看哭的音乐剧
拍的一般，但抱着死政策做事的人 真的 也很讨厌
