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".
这个影后该拿，一生怀揣热情与热爱面对生活，但电影很多剧作上的地方很差劲，对两个人的关系破裂并没有更有表现力的展现出来。
‘常规’剧情，我终于知道静香洗澡的名场面哪部了
编剧不行，加菲还是不行，但是请给劳模姐一个影后
流水账看得让人想睡觉…坚持看完了。其实不如就看最后的演唱。
至于剧本和电影本身确实不太行，看完之后依旧不太了解塔米菲这个人，只能说主角和妆发增添了太多色彩。
没啥意思，低龄版金属大战，电影院观影体验也非常差
一流的化妆技术
端午节快快乐乐带着姑娘去看，然后发现原来这个不是给她这个年龄段孩子看的了，我们全场最大的乐趣在于看机器猫从口袋里掏道具，然后就是，电影院的爆米花果然好吃。
用乐观的态度信仰上帝，但也因为如此强烈的信仰而以被动的态度面对生活和处理问题。从塔米·菲的故事里可以明显地看出，上帝的子民们更愿意相信爱的力量，而非偏见和仇恨，上帝爱的正是你本来的样子。
故事本来只有三星，多一星给杰西卡·查斯坦，本来不知道谁是塔米·菲的，看完她的表演真有了兴趣去查一下她。
7.3/10 她值得一部电影，将她的真实展露，将她的爱与乐观传递。但是本片对于塔米·菲内核的着墨太少，很浮于表面。
故事本来只有三星，多一星给杰西卡·查斯坦，本来不知道谁是塔米·菲的，看完她的表演真有了兴趣去查一下她。
极其降智的剧情，作为一部翻拍自上世纪的原版的新版，删减了支线与人物变化，使得整部片子成了一部充斥着《星球大战》元素的低幼闹剧。毫无逻辑与实力的反派，没有任何魅力的正派领袖，自我消解的戏剧解决方法，都使得本片滑入了愚蠢与弱智的漩涡。就算抛开剧本问题，该片作为一部动火电影在画面美术上的问题也是特别严重的。一是不合时宜与观感差劲的三维场景与平面化的粗线条的日式典型人物的结合不当，呈现出一种拧巴感与丑感。二是表意不明的人物表情刻画，给人细思极恐的不适感，这明显又是不符合本片的定位的。综上所述，可能创作者也不清楚自己在干嘛。
大雄变得勇敢了，会舍己救人，众人对帕比的好让人感动！善良、勇敢，最后总会克服重重难关。
一年一度 今年是童年重映呀！这集小时候在光盘上看过好多遍呢。
看杰西卡挤眉弄眼的演技已经值回票价了。再看安德鲁把两颊肉鼓鼓撑起来，还很卖力的表演更是叫人拍案叫绝！以宗教信仰包装的爱情家庭伦理悲剧。不是神棍，却依然被金钱和利益给迷惑。杰西卡虽然有出轨，终其一生也只爱他一个，安德鲁再怎么样伪装也还是被爆出婚外情和同性恋丑闻……所以说人非圣贤孰能无过？连上帝也救不了了！
因为对原型和事件都很陌生，我看不出什么宗教意义，就只看到一个在原生家庭缺少肯定的女人，把一生用在获得爱和给予爱的宗教上。她从一开始就说自己不是决定谁上天堂的人。她的浮夸、虚荣、做作、绝望的婚姻、同情心、包容、虔诚…让她完整而立体。相比起来Jim就单薄多了，几乎就是个一直消费她和孩子们的令人生厌的角色。
啊！影后得是劳模姐了吧……惊了，真是大变活人，嗓音、语调、做作的小动作，整个人的气质都变了，再加上特效化妆的加成、原型人物的夸张妆容，即便面对面采访过本人，我都认不出她了。对于宗教的天真与狂热一直延续进她的整个职业生涯，让人分不清是虔诚传教还是传销pua，比起丈夫忙着募捐买地盖房参政，她专注地热爱舞台和镜头，渴望拥有爱，不停地买她一度羡慕别人拥有的貂皮大衣。不了解真人，就电影来看，刻画的就是这样一个有着小女孩内心的疯婆子形象，最后一场重返电视节目录制现场、唱起哈利路亚的戏感染力很强。在劳模姐的光彩演绎下，一旁的加菲虽然也很努力，但在戏剧张力上终究是被盖掉了。（加菲这个颁奖季也是很拼了）
女主演技我服了、感染力一级棒，但我看不懂电影想说什么
剧情很有意思，但是拍得非常寡淡，除了劳模姐的演技。
