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".
春节座无虚席的影院有恍如隔世之感。
这部电影能不能看哭，主要看和自己妈妈感情好不好
一开始还以为是韩国小说改编，误会这部电影了。 很成熟很稳得片子，从英子伸手去接我的宝儿开始一路哭到结束，讲了一个好故事，希望贾玲可以弥补一份遗憾，妈妈一定为她骄傲。
这部电影能不能看哭，主要看和自己妈妈感情好不好
二刷:泪点记录「下辈子还是我当妈」然后瘦瘦的身子背着胖闺女一点点走回家。「她干啥来了？让我高兴来了。」
如果不纠结穿越逻辑的话，是很不错的切入点新颖实际的女性题材影片，有喜有泪贴近生活有现实意义。女导演真的有更细腻的的视角，更会用女演员。真的要夸夸贾玲和这帮优秀的喜剧演员。
前半段女儿独自穿越时，她努力想让母亲活的更好一些，后半段母亲跟着一起穿越更让人泪目，她想让母亲知道和亲历她对妈妈迟来的爱。但在真正的世界里，早早去世的母亲，她已完结的生活既不会更好，也不会知晓自此以后女儿一辈子的遗憾。
身为子女，我们能理解父母的付出与无私，但是却无以为报。
欢乐喜剧人大电影，就这种把小品拍成电影的片子都能卖出50亿，我只能说是因为很多人屎吃多了，偶尔吃到点土就觉得很香了。
8.1分真的太不客观。
妈妈原来知道你是为她而来🥰喊着我宝跑去接住的时候好感动 有时候哭也不是感同身受，而是有点难过自己好像未曾拥有过
看唐探3口碑有些扑街，就去看了这个。穿越题材已经不新鲜了，刚开始轻松猜出接下来的发展，导致中间睡着了半小时，后面母女双穿越还算有些新意。但是让穿越者接受自己穿越的事实转换太过生硬。后面发现李焕英也是穿越过来的在奔跑中回忆和自己母亲点点滴滴有些强行煽情。看贾玲演电影总感觉是在演小品，看她哭总有些出戏，同是小品出身的沈腾和张小斐演电影就比她自然。
电影节奏和画面语言确实有很大问题，但真诚胜过了一切。女性视角下一切都太美好，女人美好，男人也都可可爱爱的，没有任何令人不适和被冒犯的情节。尤其喜欢陈赫那个角色，不会再开肥胖梗的玩笑，即使躲雨挤成那样，他也看到了你有趣美丽的灵魂。贾玲真是超级无敌大可爱！
其实打那么高的分数我觉得是因为给观众带来了共情感，实际上这部电影最多7.5分的水准
很稚嫩的导演，很真挚的感情
总体而言，这就是加长版小品，很多地方的戏剧结构是错的，所以结尾并不催泪，反而觉得过于主旋律。如果放在cw，绝对是上上水平。
一度想唐探3我都温和地给了三星，这片情感立意如此朴素，起码该给四星，可我确实觉得不感人，还是打个中庸立场的分吧。好多情节和《夏洛特烦恼》一样，故事和拍法也不比唐探3高明，甚至很像，都是先一股脑搞笑，后面一个反转诉情。这是春晚小品的经典套路。最后那十多分钟反转，就像央视亲情宣传片，但胜在妈妈喜欢女儿，只要她健康快乐就好这个情感落脚点。不感动我的原因是，它真的触碰到了我的家庭的痛点，即子女都不能给父母争到面子，父母生活在失望和嘲笑中。我不愿以片中的方式去看待/处理这样的家庭存在的矛盾。电影里母亲和女儿都是乐观积极的，这样没什么不好，但同时它也回避了问题，所以它的大部分情节都和现实、和亲情无关，只在反转时赋予前面情节以母女情的意义。
贾玲猛然知道真相的那一刻，那个镜头，那火光电石的瞬间，那记忆不断回溯的画面，简直就是韩国电影《开心鬼家族》的翻版。
有想法但是细节不够。如果一开始贾玲砸下来后张江背着她跑去医务室那一段用长镜头把那个年代的情景展示一下 沿路还是黑白 到张小斐出现了才变彩色我觉得效果更佳。说真的 贾玲对于妈妈真正的印象仅在于第一台电视和排球运动员两件事 抛开这两件事后那些虚构的便显得有点虚 但是这个反转真的有点出乎意料 说到底还是剧本大框架好 还是母爱伟大 别管那么多逻辑错误推敲欠缺的问题了 热评第一说的“你爱妈妈妈妈更爱你”这个主题真的非常无敌！最后因为我个人很喜欢张小斐 所以私心加一星。
渐变的色彩，消逝的时光，母女二人共拥的记忆，贾玲用电影的方式写给妈妈的情书，果然影像是最能且最有效调动观众情感的桥梁，唯一不足的是，我们不能把催泪或者感动当成电影的评价标准，真正的情感，应该是让观众去体会，去感悟和去参与其建构，而不能一味地去灌输和煽动。
