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".
和智能大反攻一个题材，都是在讲互联网时代人们的生活方式受到了冲击式的改变。该如何选择，回归现实还是在虚拟的世界中装充实。
电影很棒，要让儿子看看。B宝一上世，就大卖，每个小朋友一手一个。用B宝来交朋友，但是大家的眼睛都在B宝身上，都在线上，线下的朋友还是那几个。社恐的巴尼在学校格格不入。只有巴尼没有，他妈妈去世，爸爸忙于工作，还有年迈的奶奶，都不知道他到底想要什么。后来他生日，知道他真正想要的礼物是B宝。阿荣把自己上传到了网络上，分享给了所有的B宝，但是它自己却消失了。巴尼又成了唯一一个没有B宝的小孩，不过他也有了自己的现实中好朋友。而且所有的B宝都很喜欢它，毕竟，它们都有阿荣的影子嘛。电影挺好看的，这样的功能齐全的B宝，我也想要。哦对，因为阿荣没有任何限制，所以其他的B宝都向它学习，在学校演出了一场闹剧。B宝的设定很棒，白白的树脂球，黑点显示的眼睛和嘴可以随意动。阿荣刚开始傻乎乎的，还经常戴个小破帽子，哈哈。
差不多三星半吧 阿荣背着巴尼从森林里出来的时候狠狠撞了我一下 最后拔挺高 泡泡公司全程工具人 不要太影射苹果公司哦🙄
Fox被迪士尼买下之前的动画，怪不得没排片也没推广。看的还是很泪目的啊。幽默感其实非常像the Mitchells vs the machines。爸爸说：you are a piece of my heart walking alone in this world的时候真的眼泪掉下来。希望每个walking alone的weirdo都能有个在黑暗里照亮你的Ron。
皮克斯应该反思，这部动画居然不是出自他们之手。
我可真要移情别恋了
前 90% 很棒，最后 10% 突然崩坏。我以为自己已经宽容到什么狗设定都吃得下了，没想到，一个 AI 已经商用的世界里，上传居然会抹掉本地数据？这不是上传，这是赛博上吊。
过于明显地讽刺扎克伯格和乔布斯，但也都说到点上。立意挺有意思但整体呈现稍微差了一节，不过很多细节都可圈可点。床底变亮那一幕被实实在在地打动到了。
故事本身并没有什么新奇的，一个与众不同的外来物和一个小主人之间产生的友谊，像很多童话作品再到，影视作品都用过这个套路，而本片其实就是把我们的手机和孩子们的智能手表具象化了，然后把这个套路作为老故事有又舒服滴讲了一遍，所以在我这里，七分还是有的
讲道理的动画电影。但道理太浅显，没什么意思。
2.5，略低幼也蛮套路的，全片看完没有兴奋点，讽刺科技之后更改算法跟科技交友😂
98/100。本来以为跟《智能大反攻》有撞型，结果发现完全是不同的讲法。整天追求粉丝的网红也惧怕自己丢丑后的嘲笑、永远争夺他人观看量的“傲骨者”也畏惧有一天自己变得无人问津、整天挂着“为了你更多朋友”的面孔的电子科技公司CEO内心里却最讨厌友谊和善良，只有那个被所有人视为出错和应该被丢弃的机器人用自己笨拙的一套编程改变了整个世界，让所有无论是外表还是内心孤独的人终于找到了内心的方向。他们终于在人世间的黑暗里找到了那道光芒——也许它很微弱，但足够坚定。它在跟你说，别害怕，也许我不会无时无刻在，但这个时候，我一定在。
社群媒體成癮。父母不瞭解小孩。科技隱私監控。朋友的真諦。
you are my best friends out of box
这种电影，有国语就是4星，可以带孩子一起看，没有国语，只能3星。
每个人想要的，就是一个哆啦A梦吧。不是人类，不会离开，专属于我，永远贴心。哎，人类科学家加油吧，赶紧满足我们这种需求
社群媒體成癮。父母不瞭解小孩。科技隱私監控。朋友的真諦。
#大家都很孤独##HOW TO MAKE/BE A FRIEND#
真的很暖，也很有想象力～
越來越愛邊緣人的故事：everyone has an unique story to tell, and all we need is love
