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".
当机器人开始发问，一切都不一样了。惨兮兮中一点温暖吧。如果芬奇早出发，或许在旧金山好好生活。毕竟能农耕了，人也是生产资料，恶意会少很多。
画面氛围还不错，7分
3.5 一个机器人的使命（想起来late late show的机器人也叫Geoff）
不得不说汤姆汉克斯虽然已经六十多岁了依然是实打实的演技派。
汤姆汉克斯总能接到高质量剧本，这部片子估计能进今年奥斯卡吧，多个奖项都可以提名。
开头很像WALLE，Tom Hanks越看越适合接替Ian演甘道夫了😂
4、这是一个小到不能再小的故事，我却从中看到了许多，感悟了许多，热泪盈眶，回味满满。
完美，集合所有我喜欢的元素：废土、未来、科幻元素、狗狗。Jeff的演绎非常出色，细微的动作传达出丰富的情感，虽然是机器人，但是你能感觉到他的体温。最后太催泪了，呜哇，眼泪它就是停不下来啊啊啊！！！！
佩服美国人这么无聊的电影拍得这么感人，我有一个小疑问，jeff不用充电吗？
最后也代表世界要恢复正常，重新焕发生机
不知道看什么，无聊，快速拖放看完，中间没有一处镜头或者什么有趣精彩的东西让我停下来看，（除了车子快被龙卷风吹走那段），可能这是文艺片，符合豆瓣文艺青年口味，所以分数才会高，我给不及格，很差。
一个宅男发明家芬奇发明了一个机器人杰夫。这个桥段多么似曾相识，仿佛天马博士发明了阿童木。发明机器人的初衷是将履行一项使命：在芬奇离开人世后，将由杰夫来照顾他唯一的寄托：他的狗狗。在这末日的背景下，偌大的世界好像只有一个人，一条狗，一个机器人，似乎看不到什么生机。杰夫学习的很快，他的思维方式，他的表达越来越像一个人。 仿佛是芬奇的孩子，他会大意会闯祸，会顽皮。大爷必须收起他的臭脾气，耐心的教导机器人。机器人越来越像一个人，他学会了开车，学会了修车，学会了逗狗狗。机器人越来越完善，芬奇的身体却越来越差，不知道能不能支撑到他们的希望之地金门大桥。黑暗的来临令人害怕和踹踹不安，但是黎明终会到来。 即便世界已经到了末日，只要你心中还有信仰，还有寄托，即便只是一个机器人依旧能传承你的希望。
荒岛余生+超能查派，把全人类最后的余光压力放在这一个人身上，戏可以加太多。
我知道你昨天才出生，但你是时候成熟起来了！
天，后劲太大了！出不去难道是因为我是养狗人士吗，仅此而已吗
想到《末日危途》，这个有点太干净了，没那么末日。三星半
好的电影 演员演技 配乐 画面 故事 都在线的一部好电影！
9分。人类永远是最可怕的，即使是在末日。机器人却是最温暖的，虽然杰夫才被创造出来几天，但芬奇身体状况堪忧，他不得不快速成长，细腻的他在学习的时候还能细心地体会到情感的变化，真是厉害，不由地让我想起最近在看的《克拉拉与太阳》里的克拉拉。芬奇为了自己的狗伙伴创造了一个智能机器人，可见人类对情感的依赖始终不变。末日虽可怕，但情感弥足珍贵，不管是哪种形式的。
看到芬奇的造型，我马上着手试了试能不能把我的电脑音箱也改造成机器人
开头很像WALLE，Tom Hanks越看越适合接替Ian演甘道夫了😂
