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".
故事落了俗套，但有几个镜头很有趣，热门歌曲一首接一首可谓诚意满满了
优点：故事到他们第一次抵达大剧场之前都很棒，节奏也很顺滑 缺点：有几处转折过于生硬，包括人物转变
总之，画面好看，音乐动听，如果忽略掉剧情缺陷的话，还是一部很不错的合家欢动画。
又看了一遍，看懂了好多镜头语言，看懂了很多背景细节，也确信了苏估计是死了。
歌选的好，动画做得好，就是剧情… 这个资方出了舞美、场地、人力物力所有的费用，被这个乡下来的骗子骗到入狱？编剧强行设定资方丧心病狂要当着所有的面杀人，过于反智。
伊藤沙莉看着可真不像是能跟男生谈恋爱的，即便对方是森山未来……
挺敷衍的，剧本到某个节点需要发生什么才能继续下去时，编剧就随便塞个人物，让这件事发生。没有逻辑，只有结尾十分钟有看头
太空音乐剧的创意也是让本片脑洞大开之余，更有了几分动画与实际相结合之感，何况，剧情上面，不光有音乐、有搞笑，还有催情与励志！
还有什么比窝在家里陪女儿看她喜欢的动画片更好的事情呢？
4.5-5之间，笑点没法超越第一部，歌舞美术还是赞，外太空是和马修的神作星际穿越联动吗哈哈。
这种电影的第三幕一般都不会差。总的来说还是挺好看的，只是没有第一部的那种惊喜感，第二部似乎都是按部就班的进行下去。希望还是会有续集。
剧情太简单粗暴了，即使有好听歌曲加持，也没办法喜欢上了。就是遇到挫折的坚持找到自我的故事。我都怀疑是为了出歌曲，才拍的电影。像极了为了把低俗小电影情节穿起来而拍的办公室美女下班公交车遭遇片。。。
它在我心目中比《花束》要爱的深沉
3.5的水平，整体观感还凑合，但不如第一部惊艳
虽然不如1，但是在这个大环境里没有随波逐流的去搞zzzq挺不容易的，里边有个二哈女儿太逗了，我在这一集里最喜欢的角色就是她
omg简直太好看了！ 一定要连上蓝牙音箱看！全程跟唱下来 这么多首歌真的贼爽 很触动人心 音乐的力量无穷大 比第一部还好看
人物虽然众多，但是就算没有看过前作，也能迅速一一对应每个人的作用以及特长！
46岁，我变成了一个无聊的人——你小时候想要变成现在的自己吗？身处「后疫情」时代洪流之中的作者发出了「灵魂」拷问，也给出了自己的回答：在意识到《我们都无法成为大人》之前，不能说「绝望的人」没有希望，只能说「希望」暂时没有来，抑或不以人期待的模样和设想的方式来。这也是为什么讲述「旧爱重逢」抑或《再见初恋》主题的本片要从《苦役列车》上的「未来」视角开始记录——这样，我们也就看到了，一个人在何种情况下作出怎样的选择之后才变成现在的样子。理想与现实之间的矛盾往往在于，人与时间的失调。其表现为过去的事与当下的事与《将来的事》发生「混淆」错位：原本用来谈情说爱的时间，却不得不用来工作；到了谈婚论嫁「订终身」的时刻，还在抱怨工作餐不适合自己的胃；自己明明很普通，却依然无法忘怀某个「似无还有」遥不可追的梦。
2022.01.31 和娃一起看完了第二集。
1.初恋留下了不愿普通的执念，他却还懵懂她离开的原因。内心对抗着成为大人这件事，活成茫茫人海中绝望而普通的又一个人。2.相比《薄荷糖》的韩国编年史式倒叙，日本的社会变迁其实在主人公体内了无痕迹，而只作为归纳回忆的标签存在。真正构成无法长大、想要回去动力的，始终是私人史的伤痕。3.会记住两个段落：中年时与偶遇的女子一夜情，在能俯瞰东京夜景的酒店。她想拍东京塔的灯光，那灯却在按下快门的瞬间熄灭；少年时跟初恋在廉价旅馆，做人生的第一次爱，黯淡的氛围灯如明灭星河，他们珍重而腼腆地相拥、相融，“我在高兴时，会觉得很难过。”
