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".
用心做打戏，用jio写剧本，多发点男女主的糖也好啊
我永远爱武侠风，非常对我口味，很久没有见到一部动画里几乎没有我讨厌的角色了，喜欢，期待后续，一定要让江渊出来啊！
三星半。前3/4还不错，爸爸那条线的收尾扣半星！感觉创作者想要好多东西，爱情讲一段梦想讲一段爸爸讲一段，也因为姐姐的梗冲击力太强，后面很难再推上去了。场面和小情节的设计蛮好看。
5.结局好评，真实、黑暗而讽刺，这个风雨飘摇的武林让我想起《笑傲江湖》
大势不是这么改的。
生死看淡，
太带感了，看首页推荐随手点开的，没想到男主打起来太爽了，一看就停不下来
用心做打戏，用jio写剧本，多发点男女主的糖也好啊
看这样的电影就特别舒服，简单的美好，淡淡的情感，看完会让人由衷地感到欣慰，特别好。
感觉团队就是随便找了剧本秀活儿来的，如果剧本也好一些就更好了。期待这个团队后续的作品
动作戏满分国漫动作天花板，为啥罗通没跟红娘在一起，非得干那个所谓的漕运帮主
影片营造的复古感很nice，有些《阳光姐妹淘》（韩版）、《Roly Poly》（T-ara）的感觉。故事中对于“执念”的诠释真挚、温柔且坚韧，这一点与《白蛇2：青蛇劫起》类似，而亲情、爱情戏的细腻描述手法几乎与《铁道：家色》、《假如爱有天意》、《向阳处的她》如出一撤；故事中段的转折很惊艳，开启了神似《铁道员》和《现在去见你》（这部也是李章焄编导的）的奇幻风味之旅（温情、小清新与小惊悚糅杂）。唔哩允儿的表现就如同一阵甜甜的清风。当最后《初吻》的主题曲《Reality》响起时，整颗心都酥了。
西门可真的太像阿谢拉特了🤷
乱世之下，江湖中人。
剧本故事单一，情绪积攒速度慢。
又刷新了同类型的新高度，可以成功开启宇宙了，以后镖人什么的能用这标准做必大卖。
武戏的动作和镜头都很棒
讲实话是超出预期的。没想到故事是正统武侠，庙堂和江湖和百姓。3转2本身我非常不喜欢，但看了之后就懂了，打戏确实精致而且密度合适，显然是表现重点（因此其他地方都比较糙），如果非要做2D那无论放到哪个大厂没个巨额投资和三五年打磨不出来，当然2.5D让每个动作都过于正确失去了畸变的魅力。实际观感就是那种看画面不行但剧情讨喜的漫画一样，就是剧情有些赶着人物往前走。然而主角团的设定也确实没什么意思，男女主全都像路人甲，反而是反派西门仁，不仅是个帅老头打架还好看。这似乎是现在大多数动画作品的通病：无法做出有魅力的主角
本来是冲着林允儿去的，结果是个父子和解的故事，有些刻意煽情。但还是蛮感人的。
故事稀松平常，但讲武侠它是认真的。没有扭捏煽情，不多的儿女情长，都只为讲好这段拳脚刀枪的快意恩仇，这才是江湖。
