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".
不愧是漫画家的报复啊！最后没人把丈夫当回事我真的笑死了
从发现漫画那瞬间开始觉得有意思 不过看着看着有有点疲倦了 原本以为是部吓人的惊悚片 虽然确实有细思极恐的感觉还是略微欠了点 黑木华感觉很适合演腹黑的角色呢
把一个原本狗血的出轨题材，用巧妙构思讲的如此轻松有趣。不吵不闹不玩捉奸，女主复仇中对人心的拿捏，远比《Gone Girl》里更加克制，霓虹一以贯之的隐晦与忍耐啊！悄然在构建真实与虚幻的隔墙间完成了男女主动权上的逆转。在日本这样一个男权至上的国度，敢于将男性架空，平权一大步！
海兽设计得比较萌，就是有股子塑料感，但观感还是挺好的，色调看着也很舒服，就是故事比较低龄，适合跟小孩一起看。
一部根据漫画家把生活画成漫画的漫画改编而成的漫画电影。女性这样“戏耍”男性真的好给力。
人妻的复仇竟然能拍得这么清新脱俗，一支画笔，一本漫画拿捏。最后5分钟的反转真的不错
好开心啊，女主、编辑和妈妈都不是很关注男主哈哈哈。但本身节奏有点拖了。
亦真亦幻，真假难辨。可以，plastic love太切题了！
剧情较为简单 世代的仇恨就这么轻易的被化解了 最残暴的小红对小女孩一见如故 恨与爱转换得太快 不过这种画风我很喜欢
漫画与现实双关，老师也双关。虽然妻子最后也许永不回头，隐隐感到她是为了让丈夫感到嫉妒，找到作画的感觉，重新做回“老师”。
3.5 大海怪兽题材挺吸引人的 那种神秘感 但情节确实太单薄了
日本漫画家版《消失的爱人在驾驶我的车》。。。
80/100 出轨题材还能这么拍？太多对峙的静默时刻，以致于充盈的思考。当妻子笔下的二维线条逐渐照进丈夫臆想的现实，源于出轨的愧疚被一丝一丝地揭露，最终坦白，这是0到1的平缓量变引发的质变；当这一切先被否定，而又重新证实并延续，这是1悬崖下跌至0的喘息而又陡升至无穷的惩罚
把出軌給畫出來傳真給先出軌的老公看，太狠了，關鍵是鄉下的駕校怎麼可能有這麼帥的駕校教練🌚
【2022.07.26】休息时间晚上熬夜不睡觉，前半部分用手机看的，后半部分用电脑看的，还是大屏看得更清晰舒服一点，的确是一部优秀的让人印象深刻的动画电影，画面真的很精致，无论是人物还是怪兽的形象，都非常不错，这种风格不禁让人想起了驯龙高手，剧情也很不错，通俗易懂，也不会拖沓，有笑点，很不错的一部动画电影。
虚构与现实的交叉重叠，是真也好是假也罢她都赢家。
中规中矩的电影, 政治正确也很明显, 跟驯龙记很像. 放下仇恨拥抱爱与和平. 海兽很好判断, 但是人类社会呢中的统治阶级呢?
海兽设计得比较萌，就是有股子塑料感，但观感还是挺好的，色调看着也很舒服，就是故事比较低龄，适合跟小孩一起看。
在我心里，所有的艺人谁有婚外情，黑木华也不能啊。这真是可以看出，动漫与婚外恋题材，太火爆了！
剧情还行，开头没兴趣看，看到后面还看进去了。小红很像无牙仔。主角为什么是黑色的小女孩儿，我感觉那个时代她应该是奴隶吧，虽然这个设定的世界是有黑白黄都在一起，可是我看着怪怪的。依据那个年代，主角应该是一个胖乎乎的白色小女孩才对吧。。。
