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".
无聊啊，能让人类毁灭的就这？还不如女性版的那部。
gay版傲慢与偏见，属于第一眼就知道贫穷男主遇到的高富帅男人会是良配。在充满美好肉体的火烧岛，遇到一个愿意和自己坐下来聊艾丽丝门罗的拥有美好肉体的男人，真是幸甚至哉。
6分-看到蚁人跟小女孩妈在野外野兽般交合，笑了，出戏！整体看的下去，也没啥新意，女孩妈选角不好，这小女孩倒是挺讨喜的！
火烧岛，骚货岛。虽然里面让我喜欢的帅哥不多，但作为一个生活在压抑社会环境中的中国同志，我喜欢看这种夸张欢闹的同志喜剧，跟着里面的骚货们做一把小小的白日梦。何况我还曾真的去过这个火烧岛一日游，也是在夏天，不过没赶上tea dance party。编剧、导演、演员表演、音乐、摄影都很用心，亚裔同志当主角也是让人长脸的美事，这片在烂番茄都是高赞分数，豆瓣目前6.2评分明显过低了。
You are a liar Charlie,sorry not sorry!
愿得一人心，白首不分离。中外同志本没什么两样。明年是不是要有同志版小妇人了？
SB，那个赵牡丹绝对是辱华的，和百灵一个调性
同志版《傲慢与偏见》。为了避免观众产生对性少数群体的刻板印象，选用了多样化的角色，破格选用华裔为主角，却又不知不觉陷入到另一种刻板印象里。看似是展现性少数人士性爱自由的主题，底子里却是最呆板保守的思维，体现在固化的阶级意识与改头换面的异性恋情节设计。原来经典名著也有时代局限性的一面。
小丫头以后绝对是大美女啊，棉花糖鬼比大白可爱多了，养一个也不错
【C】不是说他不好 毕竟也是纯血续集 情怀还是比较到位的 但剧情安排真的俗套大杂烩 每一句台词 每一个设定都把俗套拿捏的死死的 可以说做到了全程没留下任何一点惊喜 片子的定位感觉更偏向儿童向电影 虽然影片有经典IP的加持 但依旧还是觉得平庸了些
fine,这种套用都市童话模板甚至爆米花式的“小基电影”也没必要向扣咪拜哟宁看齐，嗑嗑瓜子看看肉体吐槽下俗烂爱情不就够了,will越看越有林保怡的港味，至于 Zane Phillips，哦买噶，Christian hogue和Luke Macfarlane的直弯奇妙混合体。
挺有意思的爆米花电影，这种GEEK的小女生设定很讨喜，看得很欢乐。中部开始打鬼略微有点乏味。捉鬼设备很像我玩的路易吉鬼屋
80年代电影的续作，这片就应该出在那个年代，2021还这水平。额，感觉好水
Zane hot, James & Conrad cute
这一部的缺点是鬼怪不够大不够有想象力，boss看起来就是一个穿白色紧身衣的中二病。优点是剧情居然不幼稚，虽然还是有的点不能细想，乍一看就是低配《怪奇物语》。最近刷了太多情怀了，所以看到原版人马出场也就那样，反正上一部也有比尔莫瑞。小棉花糖太萌了，还是加一星维持4星吧。

有些点还蛮好笑的，但最大的惊喜还是小女孩，也太可爱了吧！
太真实了lol，身材，种族，最想去标签的一群人贴标签贴得最起劲儿/Oliver是怎么做到从逍遥法外第一季到现在小十年容颜不老的/豪伊很像苏有朋诶/还有约的时候一定一定要保护好自己，不管是谁都不要同意录像，除非你想在某O某P上看到自己的杰作/希望我30+的时候身边也能有这么多基友/总的来说是一部很有教育意义的节奏紧凑略显Clichè的片儿，9/10
#insideout2022# 4.5. Pride and Prejudice in Fire Island.虽然狠狠地套了Jane Austen的壳，但是在层出不穷逐渐疲软的gay comedy中，本片依然凭借出色的screenwriting带来了许多亮点。很多非常niche却极为relatable的queer insider jokes,以及从The Ethical Slut到Alice Munro这样看似pretentious但依然有着nodding to the literature gays的温柔.对于男同性恋社群内部问题，identity crisis,以及Asianess in gay culture的探讨，相对轻盈却保持了足够细腻，配合不能再酷的queer OST实在太棒了
比《沙滩鼠》更hilarious. 意料中的bitchy,但是并不会令人反感. 整体视听还不错.
