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".
她是天使也是魔鬼，她被害也害人。最后是girls help girls，连埃德加莱特也开始搞女性主题了吗？
相信这会是一大批中年美国人的「有关童年的回忆」。《救难小福星》时隔33年重回大荧幕，欢乐与欣喜之余必定引得老粉们一片「潸然泪下」。动画角色与真人结合，活泼而不乏趣味，情怀氛围瞬间拉满。华特迪士尼真真的又一次击中了「怀旧党」的内心深处。原版复刻的奇奇、3D化制作的蒂蒂、过了气的索莱克、又老又秃的彼得潘、希曼、巴鲁……光是人物塑造与纷繁呈现就很抓人，再加上密集的笑点与各种讽刺各种梗，很难摆烂。适合中年父亲带着小孩一块看，然后你会看到两个「男孩」坐在那里傻笑的样子，而其中的一个，笑眼里必定噙满泪水。
这么致敬冷血惊魂我真的吓/笑死了。确定不是月光光心慌慌？知道你自带bgm但是不能随便乱放吧。
看安雅去的。前半部分尚可，万圣节之后开始崩坏。特别是鬼魂一边缠住女主一边喊help？？有事吗？？逻辑不通啊，你要人家help你你缠住人家？？就很无语。反转也不算特别意外。最后也没看出来女主从哪里完成了自我成长，毕业设计又那么丑，就感觉结束的非常潦草。
Rescue rangers! ；迪士尼就是有本钱；ugly sonic的人类牙齿真的让人难以接受……
托马辛的演技还是被安雅按在地上摩擦了，不过演的也非常不错。男主角选的也好，长得不帅这才像舔狗。。。希望托马辛不要禁锢在恐怖片里。60年代的质感演绎的真好，胸大即是正义。
虽说演员不是最大的问题，但这女主也太差了，差到几乎不想再看她演的戏的程度，之前在乔乔兔里也没这么糟糕啊。
看个乐吧，没啥特别好玩儿的，我要看蝙蝠侠对E.T.，就现在！
保守派圈定了安全的范围，也决定了影片的上限，用一场铺张浪费的香艳歌厅秀伪造“禁忌”。摄影机上天入地，视野的范围却始终狭窄，泛滥的镜像如加粗的字体般画蛇添足。看看《本能》看看《艳舞女郎》吧，被摆弄的人物再声嘶力竭，也不过是空壳一具。
好嘛，最后还能拐成“girls help girls”，反正我觉得这是投机取巧。电影本身不能算很差，但看似很“潮”的外包装里裹着的还是极为老套的剧情。Anya不适合演这类角色，看起来好像没有心。

8.4/10
等一个彩蛋分析
其实从《极盗车神》开始，埃德加·赖特逐渐变得没有个性了，而且总是塞满音乐来带情绪，本片前半段女大学生支身来到陌生城市入学的剧情还挺《阴风阵阵》的，整个色调和气氛布置也是铅黄风格，没想到后半段急转直下，受害者变成施暴者，女学生神经兮兮，本身要讲的女性议题也沦为了连环杀人案这种俗套收场，而且两个女性角色既然都玩儿了附身这种身份重叠戏，最后竟然也不是同一战线，属实无意义。
剧情一般但很有情怀，各种角色大乱炖，像是“动画”总动员
一般般，剧情有点无聊，也没什么笑点，不过胜在彩蛋多，倒也能打发时间。
剧本虽然有点自相矛盾，倒也符合埃德加赖特的直男属性，而且编不下去一向是他电影的特点，这部直接放弃治疗，叙事无比指给，倒也没什么不舒服，只是不够精彩罢了。金曲串烧加霓虹光影什么的总体还是嗨得起来的，只是他还要幼稚多久呢？另外集体无意识已经成为他作品最重要的个人风格了，这部里那些死去的幽灵和僵尸肖恩里僵尸，热血警探里的村民以及世界尽头里面的机器人如出一辙，一种极为无趣的创作惯性。这也在某种程度上反应了他才华和小聪明实在已经支撑不起来一部崭新的长片了，想要转型却还是走进自我重复的胡同，真是颇有点惋惜。。。
和Baby Driver类似，喜欢音乐不一定要拍剧情片对不对？硬拍，结果就真没什么好剧情…感觉Edgar Wright真的只能拍直男兄弟情
有点出乎意料的喜欢，甚至感到Edgar Wright就是很任性的为贩卖自己的taste，而不惜在灯红酒绿的都是传说、连环杀手片中搞反转。虽然剧情俗不可耐，但梦境和镜中世界的串联颇有点复刻希胖的感觉。可能因为60年代金曲真的yyds，就连冤魂在窄巷里扑面而来都如歌舞片一般的踩点大师。不得不说Anya Taylor已经在同龄女演员里出挑万分了。
歌舞惊悚片……现在恐怖片都这么内卷了吗，什么花活都用的上
