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".
从In the Height到这部，大概真的跟林曼威无缘了。穷困潦倒不被理解的艺术家故事早已被拍烂，本该突出的社会背景几乎完全就是背景，廉价的绿幕更加让影片的时代感大打折扣。听完伯恩斯坦紧跟着再听这部真的太不够听了
6/10。看开头就知道是我不会喜欢的音乐剧片了，而且这类电影在豆瓣都是高分好神奇。喜欢同年的《身在高地》，俗人只爱看五彩斑斓的唱跳。有一场女生唱段给我口型对不上的感觉。电影与音乐剧的结合，弊大于利。
作为路人粉觉得无功无过，作为音乐电影应该在镜头、艺术设计上多加功夫，电影明显更像一部舞台剧，倒是加菲的表演提升了一个档次。
每一个演员都唱功了得。独白部分都很赞。最喜欢的三首歌是Boho、Sunday和come to your senses。估计没人能对它们说不吧。
好久没看这么纯粹的歌舞片了。哭了。。加菲太有才华了，LMM也完全不像一个新手电影导演
其实的时候 觉得是值得五星的，但是在我看完热门的短评之后又觉得好像五星高了点，就是有些矛盾了吧，被影响了，但是其实也正常，有些短评也确实讲出了这电影的不足之处。我也表示认可，自然就变了评价。
口水歌真不好听，故事线和情感线毫无波澜，技法一般，言之无物，题材吃香是唯一的亮点吧。加菲猫煽情起来，他不尴尬，别人很尴尬。
"It's 30/90, why can't you stay at 29, hell."
普通影迷打3分，theatre goer給4星。LMM導得算ok，除了情節有點散，技巧有些粗糙，但勝在情真意切。熟悉的RENT音節只從琴鍵傾瀉一小節，非常克制。我愛Joshua Henry~
导演从一开始就很想呈现一种又燃又爆炸的氛围，但我从头到尾都没燃起来，甚至有点不耐烦。首先29岁的巨婴真的有点讨人嫌，虽然他真的很有才华啦但跟这种人相处一定会非常累；其次全片把当时的政治环境和酷儿群体的遭遇变成模糊的背景板，我觉得很不可，有好几次明明已经可以把叙事切进去了，又突然生生拔出来，回归最传统的励志叙事，我觉得这极大削弱了故事本身的层次。我不是说这部电影不够励志，是最终呈现出来的这份励志非常单薄，是“年度十大励志人物小传”的那种单薄。而且作为一个顺性别白人直男来说，29岁有什么好焦虑的？对成功的执念太深了啦……另外，太浪费Mj Rodriguez了，就不能多加点戏？
为何总在梦想终点止步？为何总会留下遗憾？那便是生命的倒数时刻在无声呐喊。
加菲绝对是联合国认定的阳光大男孩，感染力很强，能看出他用了一百二十分的情感在演绎。 “牢笼还是翅膀，去问飞鸟吧。是恐惧还是爱 ，别说出答案，行动远胜于言语。”这部电影是献给35岁的乔纳森最好的礼物。
那些还留在这个行业、为了梦想默默奋斗的创作者们，为自己唱一首生日歌吧。
严格来讲，这是一部挺套路的电影，是关于一个天才，在他传奇般的陨落之前，如何登上巅峰的故事。不过天才的种种疯魔，还是丰富了这个套路的骨架。
不错啊，不过可能更多才华来自原版音乐剧？加菲我觉得演的很好，艺术家的癫狂，还有一点可爱。不要看到一点不太写实的表演就说演的太过，是适配电影风格的。
我能看《第七封印》《都灵之马》《四次》《另一个故乡》这种闷片都能看得津津有味，歌舞片对我来说是一个坎，上次愉悦地看完一个歌舞片还是《爱乐之城》，这片的主角本身就长在我的审美盲点上（不知道怎回事，看到这种五官尤其是咧嘴的时候，脑海里总是浮现出傻子的观感），加上每次一起音乐——不能说好坏，只能说实在是太不对路了，于是，分数再高，也无法坚持看下去，不想折磨自己。
这几年我唯一能欣赏的歌舞剧只有lalaland。
看完会发现，好像男主身上并没发生什么事，把一个作品交出去，等待被发现或者被埋没，自己并没有什么可以做的，剧情的很大一部分都靠身边人的故事在推动。
因为不是百老汇粉丝，所以触动不是很大，无非就是梦想与现实作斗争的故事，主线很单薄，包括一些生活困境也就是没交上电费在餐馆打工这样的设定，都仰仗音乐出色以及演员卖力表演，倒数计时既是快到而立之年的时间警示，如今看又是男主短暂生命的预言，加菲唱得还不错，前女友石头姐靠音乐片得影后，看他自己能不能冲个影帝提名。
完全没有认出来venessa,想想歌舞青春都是高中时候看的了。非常纽约的musical电影，故事比较平淡但是感觉演员唱跳都很好，就是歌曲都没那么好听
