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".
一部又恐怖又搞笑又变态又可爱又清新又重口的有趣电影。
挺有意思的电影 ，看上去有点血腥却用诙谐的手法去表现。PS：女主很有味道！
Some.Like.It.Rare.2021.FRENCH.1080p.WEBRip.DD5.1.x264-NOGRP
我觉得其实就还好 电影的内容基本都在简介里说完了 没什么额外的枝节——当然最后这对夫妻肯定是被捉到了嘛 这个毫无疑问 让他们逍遥法外的话整个电影意义就不一样了。动物世界那一段神来之笔哈哈哈 无聊的时候可以找来看看。
饮食是天然状态的还原，美味是快乐迸发的源泉。荤食也好素食也好，归根到底也就只是习惯。
年度邪典电影。。。三观给我振碎了。。。卧槽卧槽卧槽。。。。
真是一对儿碧人～彼此深爱又互相理解～一起痴狂于唇齿之间的贪婪滋味。素食者农场～太美妙了！
我还蛮喜欢，素食者的肉最美味，因此成了食肉者的最爱，还有女婿那套不吃荤食的理论，感觉导演还是喜欢吃肉的吧。
电影里的真实感来源于想自杀，用碎瓷片割脉下不去手，说明男主的心理非常强大，反之就会和跳楼的那个人就伴儿去了，如果在国内，这就是江姐类的革命英雄。
很荒诞又很影射现实的一部电影，字幕组也是人才，居然直接就翻出了黄秋生的大名，也搞不清楚到底说的是啥，不过行为嘛，倒是挺人肉叉烧包的。可以从很多的角度来解读，比如说，在婚姻中，两个人还是要有共同的语言和追求的，你看他们两个人，多么的嗨皮啊。
坚毅的精神是走出平静乏味的大海 和颠覆杀戮风暴雨的钢铁巨轮
和我爸一块看，我爸跟我说：“要不？咱爷俩喝点……”
同样是weird惊悚喜剧类，《在糟糕的日子里》完胜本片。不管是乱来的程度（拍大腿笑岔气），还是血腥惊悚所带来的刺激感。这作就只是反胃又反胃...把种族主义的狂热、极端套在素食主义者身上就很离谱，还生造了个肉食和素食的二元对立，这么反人类真的好吗... ps居然还有欢愉的女主，可惜这里好纸片，一定要给反派配个橱窗小婊砸也太无聊了。
没看过原著，在边界内寻求自由的能力和意志，还是感受得到
难不成吃素主义者的肉真的如此鲜美？影片本身的落脚点既在对素食主义的讽刺也有对夫妻关系的探讨，但电影却又不够深入和精彩。让汉尼拔给你们上一课吧。
看过的第三部有吃人肉的情节的法国电影了，法国人对吃人肉是有什么特殊情结吗？整体其实还不错，挺有意思的
好疲软，感觉像Netflix编剧开会随便头脑风暴了几个词搞出来的剧本，为啥这都能上7分……
所以人人都在经历苦难，能活下来的绝对不是一般人。
女儿男友这个角色真是栩栩如生，就是我在德国遇到的极端素食婊，表面说是个人选择，当和你混熟后就开始在你吃肉时对吃肉行为指指点点，让你毫无胃口。电影还算有趣，但剧情和结尾可以做得更好。
爽！全程笑个不停，提高了法国喜剧的上线。结局被抓遗憾
