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".
一上来就是垃圾堆，顿时穿越到《苦役列车》，原来这就是续集。
2021大怀旧时代，但同样题材（和类似的毛病）还是挑人的。森山未来的自我沉溺触景生情比苏打能让人感同身受，伊藤莎莉演文艺女青年也比村花有说服力多了。此外这片其实比起《花束》不算报菜名，对城市时空间和文化符号的处理显然更具体。只不过这种走马灯式的闪回确实只是和表象绕圈圈罢了。
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！
一场大戏，非常精彩，但是衔接非常的生硬，比如说狼要杀死考拉的环节哈哈哈
一般。本来想打低分，最后竟然用烟花俘虏我。
小苏和佐藤一起唱尾崎丰的时候真的太好了，喜欢这一段。太好了让森山来演这一部，浅野堇太好看了。
放心看吧。用画面诠释了每一首歌。在轻
每个角色都好脸谱化……枯燥的剧情，耳熟能详的流行歌轰炸，和第一部差太远了
我妈也喜欢！
怎么分看着这么低……我觉得很好看诶，虽然戏中戏的剧情太弱
平民的欢乐不是源自好声音，而是源自战胜资本。
人物还是一样的人物，歌曲还是一样的歌曲，但配方却少了最入味的那道。获得成功之后拥有更高更大的舞台远没有为了留下剧院不负父辈的倔强坚守和为了做真正的自己的孤注一掷更打动人心。于是，为了这个硬上弓的更高更大，人物被故事驱动，人物形象止步于第1部。在这里，我们再也体会不到Moon对剧场根植于内心的情感，再也感受不到Johnny对音乐发自内心的热爱，再也共情不到Ash勇敢做自己的飒爽。我们只能被看到被听到一首比一首好听的劲歌热舞和一波比一波惊叹的音乐舞美。耳朵和眼睛就这样被不断冲刷了100分钟后，伴随着字幕的升腾，我脑子里竟奇怪地想到：再过五年，我若重看2，定是连这些人物都要不记得了。
适合圣诞的一部电影，三星的脚本，简单明快，四星的原创音乐和五星的画面效果，最后舞台的设计和拉斯维加斯的设计真的太棒了！非常简单纯粹的快乐和感动
相对音乐来讲故事弱了一个等级，但是歌是真的好听，最后的show视效太美了
我也感觉到我把某部分的词语留在了2021年以前
永远喜欢年轻人在街头谈恋爱打情骂俏的样子，喝得很醉两人散步不愿意回家的夜晚，永远喜欢。
最起码，不讨厌，不失望，仍然带着光
p.s. 评价都提到了口水歌太多，我不觉得，如果真的想听高大上的音乐，不如去看《倒数时刻》或者《红磨坊》，或许那些更适合你，这个就适合像我这样的小孩子看。
娱乐城的设定好像逐梦演艺圈版的zootopia，感觉没有第一部那么好笑了，但是画面更美轮美奂了。
开头剧情有点无聊，来家里玩的2个小学生（一年级和高年级）都不怎么感兴趣，感觉一直在唱歌，6号下午自己看的，后面还行，就是哈士奇不管她爸了，我有点介意，U盘放不下了，13号下午一边做其他的事手机又放了一遍，虽然歌曲也挺多的，但不像看完第一部那样去下载片中曲，感觉看完就过了，结尾大白狼被警察抓走时，助理心碎地喊出 I love you，就跟前不久误杀2里面市长被抓时秘书长的表现有异曲同工之处，讲真我看网文都从来都不磕上司和秘书这种cp，毕竟打工人各种内心吐槽上司才更真实，不懂
