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".
终于在英国当了新唐顿屯的第一波观众！！（周围观影的全是白发苍苍的老头老太）可以说依然是回馈剧粉的“福利型电影”，有笑有泪的“合家欢”。剧情本身不值五星，但情怀值得十星。
婚礼开始葬礼结束，有让人不舍的逝去也有新生命的诞生。总会有离开的时刻，一个时代虽落幕了，但只要精彩就值得。
一个作品被多次分割成不同的作品片段来播放，真会赚钱啊orz。
也许都是在为那田蜘蛛山篇做铺垫吧。
Downtown lives forever in my heart.
老唐家屯人了，新纪元的故事从一场婚礼开始，到一场葬礼结束，老夫人的主事权杖算是正式交到了大小姐的手里。每个人物都安排得妥当，Barrow的男男新恋情被删掉了，无语。而且还有默片到有声片的过渡，就像剧中人物一样，都齐齐迈进了三十年代。Lady Mary活得越来越通透了，但还是会在关键时刻感到不安与惶恐，她与Carson之间的信任与扶持始终是那么坚定不移。开头和结尾都是熟悉的旋律，秒回追剧的感觉。
看唐家屯的第11年，看到Mary回忆大表哥，说他完美、正直充满梦想。好奇着如果他还在岁月会把他塑造成什么样子，也让我回忆起看前几季的美妙时光；以及不知从哪一季开始，老爷就成了搞笑（？）担当，各种匪夷所思的事情都发生在他身上；司机没了二小姐也没了一开始有点刺头的劲，变得索然无味；楼下人们的故事依然最精彩，大家各得其所；老太太在家人环绕中平静离去，新生命又诞生于此，只要人来人往，唐顿庄园的故事就不会结束。
好家伙，让乌姆里奇来送麦格教授一程！Dominic West诡计多端现场求婚，拐走小管家，让我为托马斯的美国梦略微担忧。马修古迪婚礼葬礼一个都不参加 ，死在土耳其算了，离婚吧！
元电影这层处理地很有意思。双线叙事增添了不少乐趣，可惜没多大关联。
Cinity 旧时代成为画像，新事物让大家得偿所愿，剧情有点跳进，可惜有删减。
觉得没有第一部好看，更没有原剧好看，期待大失望也有点大，但总体来说还是很不错了，想给个3.5。
一个时代结束了。麦格教授 will always watching. 就是这么大阵仗，第二个老公还是没有死回来。
像老友叙旧，说起来也没什么大事，但聊着聊着还是唏嘘不已，慨叹时光流逝时代变迁，尤其默片到有声电影的转变。加一星给情怀。
质量依然不错 马修像童话里的王子一样 算是呼应美女与野兽？
没什么狗血剧情，平和欢乐。10多年了，也可以结束了。
觉得没有第一部好看，更没有原剧好看，期待大失望也有点大，但总体来说还是很不错了，想给个3.5。
就是很喜欢唐顿庄园，其实根本就没看大表哥死去的几季，后面就看圣诞集而已，但是依然特别喜爱这个系列。也终于带来了系列的完结。
If there were a next, I want the dowager back.
好家伙，让乌姆里奇来送麦格教授一程！Dominic West诡计多端现场求婚，拐走小管家，让我为托马斯的美国梦略微担忧。马修古迪婚礼葬礼一个都不参加 ，死在土耳其算了，离婚吧！
7分。已经完全忘了第一部讲啥。从婚礼开始，到葬礼结束。一次死亡，一次新生。再加上两条故事线交叉呈现，本片比第一部更有电影感，而且剧情也更有意思。一边是从天而降的别墅，六十年前的一段情，老爷的身世之谜，另一边是为了钱勉强答应电影剧组租楼拍摄，女星傲慢又粗俗，拍到一半拍不下去了，庄园里的人帮助导演完成拍摄任务。除了那个让人惋惜的离去外，整体还是欢乐祥和的。看得很快乐。只希望他们有钱了真的能修修屋顶。
