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".
住家就是要佈置成這樣，燈光柔和、明窗通透，可以將居室內外一覽無遺，尤其更要有迷人的風光和春光。
造型非常可爱，故事好看，小朋友喜欢！每个人都对应一种优秀的品质，但又不回避它所带来的反面，人物非常立体。
整部影片的故事情节节奏感很好，笑点也很多，大人陪着一起观影也不会觉得乏味，能够和孩子一起学到积极乐观的心态。值得观影。
暑期档高品质动画，特别适合带着小朋们一起观看，还能增进亲子感情。影院里好多家长带着小朋友。
挺好看的，我家宝贝很喜欢，虽说名字还记得不全，但是内容都看懂了，回家路上一直在给我讲，画面很萌，里面的几段歌曲也很好听，总之很好哦，会推荐给其他朋友的
这电影也太用力了，像一个为得到表扬把事情添油加醋讲的小孩，悉尼妹妹不是因为亢奋大红了吗，怎么这么容易就脱了。感觉选角导演把演员都选错了，让人看得不太舒服。
小马宝莉是女儿童年的好伙伴，能进电影院观赏这部《新时代》，很是兴奋。友谊、团结、爱是所有人追求的目标！非常适合暑假亲子时光！
小马马莉电影很有创意 各个动物配上漂亮的脸蛋绝对吸引小朋友的眼球 故事歌舞配音都很好
小朋友们千万别错过哦
好可爱的马呀，配乐也很好听，带小朋友来看太开心了
3.5。头两幕真的是很吸引人，可惜最后的反转我觉得有点廉价，把一个细致的心理惊悚片拉到了一个小品级的复仇悬疑片。再加上这个设定真的蛮鬼扯的，打破前两幕的调性就是为了这样一个意想不到的反转并不值得。尽管这种180度反转可能是这部电影的创作缘由，但是迈克尔为这个反转建立了更加深刻的基础（如果贾斯蒂斯的角色更饱满一点就好了）。至于结尾的结尾，那个对「眼睛」意向的最后一次强调，简直是应试作文后遗症中最大的陋习。
结局反转，情色的外衣，内里居然包裹着对人性的深入探讨，不错
还是挺有意思的，有几个镜头和希区柯克的那部电影很像。
7.5 结局太糟了，她竟然不坐牢，竟然不验尸？一开始就能感到是演出，不过转场挺好，前半段故事讲得不错，身材也特别nice。 “-他们是开放性的关系。-或者你把一夫一妻制观念投射到了他们身上。 ”
这个故事多少有些扯淡了，为了反转不择手段，但别把观众当傻子啊！
非常值得推荐，最近难得看到的佳作，看2小时也不觉得有多长。想起一部短片，你在偷窥对面而羡慕对面家庭，实际对面也在羡慕你的家庭，但那部更感人一些。本剧的问题是对面楼竟然没有一个正脸看对面的镜头，就好像他们生活在看不见对面世界一样，并没有眼睛与眼睛之间的交流。唯一感觉遗憾的是这个男黑的选角，选一个黑人不能满足女主有点多此一举，如果选一个体弱多痛的到可以理解。而女主的演技不错，最后的憔悴让人感觉一定受到很大的打击。如果女主拍摄对面的视频的影响要比拍她的照片影响更大，定时拍摄的照片如果底片有谋杀的证据被女主发现不是更好。
非常差，除了画面和音乐，真的都很差。这个剧情毫无新意、纯低龄向，几次矛盾和转折都猜的一清二楚——不，甚至不需要猜。而且人物的感情也不够圆满，形象也不够鲜明。非常差！
最后的反转？？？还不如让两个美女ko了渣男去搅姬！！！
剧情还是有点过于简单了，特别是结局，很仓促，不过前面挺有趣的，歌曲都很好听
配乐很棒啊，友情表达我觉得比皮克斯的《夏日友情天》都好。希望新时代继续出电影。
