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".
Mary说Barrow要走的时候，我还觉着奇怪，怎么就画面都没有莫名其妙里就要辞职，后来一想当然是删减啦！越来越能get到Mary的魅力，Henry你还不回来老婆要被勾走了啊！
上映没去，终于还是看了。太多pair过于美好，但也可以说是一种美好的愿望。老太太终于落幕了，真的好喜欢她，Mary接过担子继续吧，be the dragon！虽然片子对主仆制度有很多美化，但是抛去那些外在身份，主仆各自都能居其位做其事，也是因为彼此的理解和感情吧。别的不说，那个时代对同性恋污名化很严重，他们也能理解barrow并且帮他keep decent。电影本身情节其实没啥，但我太吃感情牌了哈哈，毕竟是看过两遍剧集的人！
无论如何，不要放弃写作。我们活着，就是在不断接受一些意料之外的事。
唐家屯的精彩故事继续上演，看的出来故事情节比第一部更加「抓马」，有很多耐人寻味的片段，比如说，老太太年轻时的艳遇，大老爷的身世之谜，导演和大女儿的隐晦感情，还有可能被删减的大管家和男演员的爱情故事。像是看了一部英伦风格的家庭伦理剧。而本片以三女婿的婚礼开场，最后又以老太太的葬礼收尾，设计精妙，也从中感受到了悲喜两重天的过往人生经历。整体来说，还是挺不错的，剧情画面bgm都是无处挑剔，感到遗憾的一是老太太的离世，再一个就是消失了的大女婿马修了，您再不回来大女儿要跟着导演跑路了！希望下一部能回归，并且戏份多一些吧。
炎夏酷暑吹空调看唐顿，没有比这再清凉的事了
庄园的人一开始厌恶在庄园里拍戏，
喜欢这种调调的电影，这就是平和中带着意思幽默，平和的度过每一天，很喜欢marry这个角色，承接了过去和将来。
我虽然没看过，倒也还好点，还能看进去
hope you’ll be as happy as our cruel world allows
看完没想到后劲这么大，怅然若失。前面有多甜蜜，最后我就哭得有多惨。大家都有了归宿，也好。再见了，再见。
演员和服化道依然是最值得看的部分，除此之外杂乱的镜头，无意义的运镜，还有乱七八糟的剪切真的都欣赏不来。前一小时真是灾难般的体验，本就不扎实的剧情还被剪得七零八落。结尾老夫人逝去还是有点泪目，即使新生命到来也阻挡不了衰落的大势，这次可能真的要说再见了。//在影院听完片尾曲才离开，算是好好告别吧
真的很喜欢他们，永远的英式浪漫，细水长流，娓娓道来。
要说人生赢家还得是人家老夫人 一辈子啥啥都见过了 真好 Mary这过得是丧偶的日子啊 马修古迪这次干脆连面儿都不露了 我强烈支持Mary休了他再找！缅怀大表哥那段儿真的是爱情最好的模样了
又回到俺滴英格兰唐顿老家，每个人都看着好亲切。老夫人和Thomas，这整个系列塑造得最成功的两个角色，是新时代却也是一个时代的终结。老夫人的金句直到最后一刻也在带来智慧。Thomas这个一开始令人恨到发抖，最后看到他却有了家人般的安心感，却因为不可言说的原因被剥夺了结局和一个配得上他的告别，我真的会恨！以及马修古迪这个只会开车不着家的渣男，却要大小姐拒绝hugh dancy这种帅哥，暴殄天物啊！真的太喜欢hugh的声音了！还好harry戏份不少让我心生欢喜！唐顿对我来说真的是像梦中的精神家园一样的存在，虽然剧情线也不得不顺应时代，让庄园的生活面对各种新时代的冲击和挑战，可是真的希望时间停止，再梦久一点，真的会怕进入二战时期的唐顿呜呜呜
老夫人去世了唐顿庄园就真的结束一个时代了
虽然有可能是又双叒恶删了，Thomas迟来的幸福都让刚过去的LGBTQIA日没有那么透明，祝福他，这个鲜少体会幸福的人。
三年或三年内，也许还能再见吗？
如果是单独的作品那么是三星。特别是头一个小时。但在唐顿庄园的世界观里，这真是一个童话。Molesley求婚的时候看哭了，Barrow提辞职的时候Mary的回应也酸了眼睛。Mary回忆大表哥的时候才想起来，天呐，这都过了多少年了。翻开一看，第一季都是12年前的事情了。最后Mary趴在老管家Carson身上哭的时候感觉又回到了最初的时候。
the end…比较轻松，还有笑点，隔壁一男的每每有点幽默的场景时候就发出“哎呀…”的声音…
其实多少有点粉丝大电影的意思，但还是好喜欢
