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".
83rd with Tao. ——2022.05.07 @新林楼
还行吧，但没必要拍这么久。反正每个大佬各干各的，放一块儿就白瞎了。
泽野弘之：满分，兼具动感恢宏。
全员工具人，好在画风真的是绝美！这么美的动画，如果是周更剧集，评分估计会超8.0，做成了电影就刚刚及格，豆瓣的动漫粉和影迷的口味差异就是这么神奇。
别的都没有，只有泡泡一般的空洞。
用一个人鱼公主和王子的故事去表达生命的毁灭与重生，是一种诗意性表达，但是总觉得……单用这个故事是不是有点强行升华到生命的高度了，因为叙事本身是商业片的叙事。不过电影本身的作画和配乐无可挑剔
我觉得小畑健和老虚要负主要责任，画面演出真的尽力了
5。比个人预期要好一些，原本是抱着寄的心态，看完只能说大佬们和wit在制作上确实敬业，就是老虚可能是受限于题材和资方导致剧本非常一般，小畑健的人设个人也不喜。《你的名字》已经是6年前的电影，业界（甚至包括新海诚本人）都是时候走出风景+灾难+爱情片的舒适圈了——对《すずめの戸締まり》同样不抱太高期望。
然后, 还是化为泡沫来中和掉 泡泡...
沒來由的起泡，然後破滅，再美麗也都是徒然。而我很討厭小美人魚的故事。
故事烂，俩主要人物脸部特写画风不统一，配音志尊淳平时语气还可以，需要过快过慢都不行，广濑爱丽丝简直是噪音污染。
东京街头大跑酷，莫名其妙的人鱼传说，爱的战士老虚有点垮，一个小时没掉头
有些土，土的也还行，即便角色关系构建明显缺少篇幅，结局也稍微有些触动，可能是我对悲剧的bmg免疫力弱一些，但也就还行的地步，歌和作画倒是挺不错，还有就是女主这个来历，你真的不是犹格索托斯吗。
剧情逻辑泡泡一样脆弱 音效画面泡泡一样绚丽
从企划阶段像报菜名一样找所谓业界大拿排列组合开始，整部动画就堪称人类迷惑行为大赏，乃至于正片给人的感觉就是完全不知道这些人到底在干什么，观看过程中脑子里不停回响着一个声音“我是谁，我要到哪里去，我到底坐在这里是为了啥？”是的，我他妈根本不明白费了这么多制作资源搞这么酷炫的跑酷用意在哪，我更不明白这小学生水平的世界观设定和这群二逼青少年的伟大日常又有什么开创性的联系。于是看到后面我只能一遍遍感慨这些好皮囊为何要这么糟践，而当泽野弘之那变调都懒的变的配乐每次突兀响起，我内心的愁苦又放大了一圈————我他妈脑子有病啊，大半夜看这破玩意？？？
小美人鱼触不到的恋人。观感愉快，有如纵身一跃。
好喜欢啊。人有一颗会感到寂寞的心，也有着一颗会去爱的心。
确定故事脱胎于人鱼公主之后，真的很期待有一个独特的结局。但没有，虚渊玄你好狠（贬义）确实是有点中二了。我还是更喜欢共乘海浪之上（毫无可比性）
自从 林明美 用一首歌拯救了世界后,
末世与跑酷强行关联，男女主的感情发展略显突兀，不明所以的设定，乏善可陈的剧情。
