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".
Like anything good, it's sad when it's over.
经典之所以是经典，就是因为能够经历时间考验，给一代又一代人带去感动。时间没能让6位主演的容貌改变多少，相互之间的化学反应也依旧热烈，主创在10年间与这部剧共同成长，也给世界留下了一份珍贵的礼物，6位主演在10余年间未曾断掉的联系恐怕也正是片名最好的写照吧。I'll be there for you, and you'll be there for me.
看一个蜡笔小新剧场版哭了好几次，这都正常吗？但是好燃啊！！渐入佳境的故事。
拍摄27年后的重聚，布景昨日重现，各路大牌来客串。
就是六位聚一起访谈，唠嗑，看当年录像，围桌念念当年稿子。有些美好还是一直藏在心底吧，今天这样已经很到位了。
关于长大以后跟朋友差距变大渐行渐远的那段有被戳到😭 话说我也好想养科莫多巨蜥！！！！
戏外的结束。节目一个不错的地方是让现实和剧中情节交融推进。但他们的状态真是各自不一。是从什么时候开始，你隐隐希望这部剧可以永远拍下去呢。
奇怪，为什么这么多年过去我还能完美复制Janice的oh my god！记得感恩节和伦敦一夜那么多梗，明明是带给我们如此多欢笑的喜剧经典，重聚的第一个画面起来却想哭。
如果他们都不打玻尿酸我就打5星，4星都是情怀。
煽情什么的都做的很克制…看到他们几个再聚真的很感动！太过优秀的剧集了～应该很怀念他们那个时候的干劲儿吧？演员互飚演技，编剧绞尽脑汁想最搞笑的段子～现场观众的笑声就是最真实的反馈…新get到的知识点就是，原来他们笑声不是后面配的，而且现场同期声！太赞了吧！
情感就是，大家看到的是一样的东西，但唤起的反应完全不同。我没办法对现在的娱乐明星有任何回应，也同样得接受和别人说起时，对方的平淡反应.....
老友记不只有风流趣事，更有生活乐趣与成长道理。
Before you form your family, your friends that you met on everyday is your family; but one day, you would marry someone and would have kids, then your friends family would eventually come to an end.. 真是对啊，只不过对于环境宽裕的美国人来说，30岁依然可以在这样的青春期阶段，而对于我而言，也许在高中之后就和那时候的自己说再见了。但是无论如何，都是一段长长的充满了回忆的时光啊～
每位角色的甄选，试镜，敲定，故事其实从这里就悄悄开始了。。。
到处都是老友记的回忆，还有那些不变的客串演员，最出彩的是joey穿着钱德勒的所有衣服和cindy穿ross的裤子，还有卡抽穿瑞秋的裙子故意漏内裤那段，六人变化蛮大的，除了菲比万年不变，虽然年龄最大，但是跟二十年前没有很大变化，其他几人身材走样的走样，整容的整容。其实个人不太建议重聚，让最美好的回忆留在二十年前不好吗？
推理部分还挺有意思，但就是，没理解为啥是剧场版最佳。。。
我不敢算多少年过去了。但是这个年纪感触好深啊。。不想深挖这种感触，因为我已经不像年轻时候敢于好奇了。
我一个一集都没看过的人，看这个重聚很快就被卷进这个剧的能量场里面了。真的很能感同身受，我们每个人的人生似乎都有那么一段最黄金的时期，最好的爱人朋友都在身边，喜怒哀乐都那么深刻，虽然它终会远去，但是始终熠熠生辉，永远刻在了我们的生命印记里，永不磨灭。
有不少亮点，能看出主办方的用心。可以挖掘得更深、内容的呈现更有想象力一些。
你总有一段人生是朋友们就是家庭，但你终将有自己的家庭，他们25年没有六个人坐在一起过，发生了什么呢？
