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".
唐顿，本质上是个大俗剧，双双对对匹配好的格局加上精心修饰的风波。然而人如故友，故而希望他们一切安好。
虽然有些忘了每个人物的具体事件细节，但熟悉的音乐响起时还是倒带了一大圈，也算是很喜欢的一个系列了。
加入了迷影元素，却更像流水账了，连英式幽默和煽情都发挥失常。长沙万达解放
真的精致 服装台词 作为电影拍摄场地 老太太去世 凭空继承别墅
这部new era的故事是有创意的 但剪辑好跳跃啊 是不是因为是一部包括群像的电影 每个人的篇幅都十分有限 导致整部电影都有点散淡。作为老唐粉 有电影看就很欣慰啦！周末都更快乐了呢！
有笑有泪，有高有低，有血有肉，每个人都很灵动，每个人都在自己的人生范围内演绎自己的悲喜人生。
oh 中间好好笑，只是大家都很完美的时候老太太却离开了。唐顿庄园太太太好看啦！
罗伯特和薇欧莱特的那两句话把我的心戳了个泉眼，到现在还不能释怀。
虽然人物繁多但是并不觉得纷乱，每个新加入的角色都有鲜明的人物性格特征，而且塑造得很丰满，能够共情。配音那段有点致敬雨中曲的意味。南法别墅的剧情可以多一点戏份就好了，真得好美
大荧幕看真棒
本粉丝看得很满足。婚礼开始，葬礼为尾，新生作为结束，在这座充满故事的庄园进行电影拍摄也是绝佳选择，默片有趣地走向了有声片。几段感情的拉扯，群像的刻画，各种呼应，最终granny的和Barrow的离开也是唐顿的某种结束和新的开始。
但渐渐地，才发现他们的人生，都是被一段段爱情所串起来，甚至被拯救。
虽然这出梦幻式的帝国主义顶层贵族的夕阳无限好fairytale肥皂剧看到后面还是产生了很多感情的，但是能结婚的都结婚了，该生孩子的也都生了，休博内威利的气色都瘦脱了，就别再继续拍了吧
粉丝的钱真好赚啊。 其实剧情已经不重要了。 各自怀念着属于自己的黄金时代。 然后就过去了美好的两个小时。
应该是唐顿的大结局了——Stop the noise, I can't hear myself die. 想起第一季的时候我在安村到处安利的时光……刚好最近又看到阿城说起中国文化的断代，更加唏嘘……总之，我同意厨子的说法，盎格鲁萨克逊文明是人类文明的标杆。
Cinexplex. Focus Features. 老实讲我没有看过唐顿庄园系列，两个多小时一度觉得在看一个“我爱我家”的英国版本。服化道都很漂亮，特别喜欢室内的打光，还有女儿们的蓝袍子。老奶奶也是一位惊鸿一瞥被惦记了一生的姑娘啊，看到儿子知道自己是爸的亲儿子那刻松了口气大家都笑了。很喜欢男演员和管家那段！
每个人大概都有了圆满的归宿，平淡、优雅、浪漫，温柔却坚定着。唐顿在每一次时代的变迁中重生。
You can’t beat this /after a toxic day at work, this has been great
本吃瓜群众代入感强，老夫老妻的长篇小说桥段很受用，满意。
制作幕后班底要继续以电影的形式拍下去。就算已有巨大的故事体量，似乎也不愿戛然美好而止，那只好这样了。
