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".
意外地还可以，土屋太凤的演技虽然我不怎么认同，但是配音和唱歌的确有点东西，我就是被她柔道对练的歌洗脑的，从而产生兴趣看这部电影。
技术伦理观几乎是反人类的，这种能突破所有权限的ai能留？（或者说这世界观根本没有安全权限这一说法？）还有老式ai的进化以及逃到网络，臆想式科幻吧……更别说什么这离谱的对抗企业的故事，完全是违法犯罪。
迪士尼的卡通基本都是要大家做自己，自己永远是最好的，不要受人影响，挺好。
内核非常的青春片，故事节奏很流畅，画面表现力也很强。虽然对于类似的故事套路很熟悉了，但最后发现诗音是“谁”的时候还是很感动。
没有创新、只有炫技的迪士尼这次让人太失望了！
为什么魔法没有了？最后又有了？人啊！要接受自己的平凡和无能。
至少比雀斑公主不知道高到哪里去了。最后解决问题的思路感觉是某种大河内风格的爱与魔法。
迪士尼这是着了欢乐好声音的道了吗？
可歌唱得再好听，也难以掩饰剧本的空虚。不知是否为观影阅历增长，迪士尼的剧本越加模板化。主角又双叒叕是个不被人理解的小孩并且喜欢唱歌。30分钟整第一幕正好结束，主角有了正式目标，展开冒险，各个家人陆续出场唱歌凑时长。73分钟矛盾白热化第二幕结束，最后靠跟姐姐一个hug跟奶奶一顿嘴炮危机解决。2022年了这样的走向实在难以令人信服。
眼泪还是不争气的掉下来 像阳光一样治愈的电影 但剧情还是有点单调了 但是歌曲都好温暖
只能说，酌情观看吧……反正我不推荐
“今天也要 元气满满地 加油 哦～”
夏娃的時間的主題換套殼，用更大眾的手法刻畫。雖沒有太大突破，可一看。
宣发真的要背锅了 预告搞得我也以为是探险片 结果其实是全家福 汉密尔顿的制作人真的厉害 歌都太好听了 设定每个人物都很喜欢 大家都很可爱 米拉贝有没有魔法我觉得都可以 继承外婆的能力这个解释最喜欢 是下一任家主了 但有一说一剧情是有很大问题的 后期不足 冲突解决的有点太简单了 好多都没交代清楚 希望之后还能出续集
之所以说差不多，是因为单纯从戏剧性，从演出角度，这电影做得真不错，尤其那段柔道训练，太赞了，还有观看诗音回忆那里……演出绝妙。
很喜欢这种AI题材，而且最后知道真相后感觉也很不错。
又是部剧情不靠逻辑硬推进。grandma是被雷劈了么瞬间顿悟。
到最后仍然感动。“有时候我会觉得只有我足够优秀你才会爱我！”其实，我爱的只是你，no matter what. 😭
我满怀期待的看，画面还挺美，歌舞有点尬，然后蜡烛灭了！啊，不是该拯救蜡烛🕯️找到自我吗？结果合家欢就完事了？
又是被迪士尼的偷懒解决冲突的情节骗眼泪的一部。喜欢大力士和花姑娘两位表姐唱歌的段落，好美。
