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".
新的时代要开始了，愿此刻便是唐顿庄园的完美结局。
似乎是最好的结局了，两条故事线并行，默片与有声电影的碰撞，都在唐顿庄园里进行，老妇人的传位，崭新的时代也在到来
从婚礼开始，到葬礼结束，有人来了有人走了，时代在前进，庄园也会迎来新的生命
即使唐家屯人老来可亲得都快成小猪佩琦风了，但音乐一起还是让人买单啊。
距离唐顿庄园开播已经十二年了啊，完结的电视剧还能时不时出电影版发发福利，看看老朋友的感觉真好。Goodbye my lady
希望唐顿庄园系列永远不要完结，衍生剧什么都请继续拍下去……
可以一看，粉丝向，否则会觉得人物太多关系太乱。引入的戏剧冲突是到法国南部继承庄园，唐顿被租来拍电影，接下来是老太太当年的恋爱史、老爸的出身，电影向有声的转变、收音员编剧、导演跟大姐的情谊。算是大团圆结局吧，好多对儿有情人终成伴侣。大姐的毒舌，跟奶奶很像啊，也只有她有能力管好庄园。几年没看，都变化了好多，连孩子都这么大了。
虽然珠世小姐帮我治疗过了，但伤并没有痊愈。
大满足，故事线很流畅，没有尿点。可惜影院画面极奇糊，芒果剧幕影院，再也不去了！！！ “Stop the noise，I can't hear myself die.”
鬼灭之刃真的是近几年来最好看的动漫，不接受反驳！男主性格真的很温柔很温柔，面对👻们的残暴攻击并不是一味的武力反击，而是愿意倾听他们的故事，化解他们的怨念。整个动漫主题很热血但又能传播正确的三观，鬼灭yyds！
一個時代結束了，時間的火車終究要向前行駛。
归宿都有了，结局一眼望到头了，就这样吧（言外之意，不要再拍了！）
婚礼开场，葬礼结尾，就像19年第一部电影看完后我写的短评，果然迎来了一场告别。然而生命纵然有逝去亦有新生，如同片名，告别过后，Downton也迎来了new era【预告片里出现的老夫人继承了南法别墅的那段mysterious past都在意料之中，但不知道为什么我看的时候总会想起隔壁fb3里的那句台词If you listen carefully enough，the past whispers to you【还有我觉得Lady Mary掌家其实真的不错，她说起Matthew的那段不知道为什么看的我有点想哭【有关拍电影的最后一个情节的设计我非常喜欢，楼上和楼下的大家组成了一整个Downton【Downton真好啊，但是这一次是真的要告别了吧…Farewell，Downton Abbey
善逸这个角色有点中二，而且一部短集作品，能衍生这么多剧场版，也是不错的
曾几何时看唐顿也成了怀旧了。居然那么久远了看到一个个熟悉的面孔好像也都没变。真好。
Screen 2 Odeon Covent Garden｜时代的落幕。依然惊诧于编剧们的创作力，从有声电影的角度切入，又点缀些老太太在南法的暧昧往事，浪漫、艺术又端庄。婚礼和葬礼转合，死亡和新生交织，主题曲响起，我还是2010年正在读高中的学生，也想不到从此我就和英国有了那么多牵绊。
情怀啊都是情怀！The marriage is a novel, not a short story, full of plot twists along the way.
3倍速好爽。
高中的时候看了个开头没看下去，十多年后来看了个大结局……大户人家也要为钱发愁呢。啊英国人的小帽子好多呀好好看呀。
我有个像你一样的妹妹。
