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".
2.初赛赢了后阿娟他们闹腾着去吃饭 狮头和大鼓就这样被滞留在广场的角落 舞狮者应该珍之
燃烧吧，被英雄花砸中的少年！永远别认！永远骄傲！永远倔强！
这剧本太别扭了，完全显示了文艺工作者脱离基层太久了，不了解广东也不了解留守儿童，更不了解普通打工人的生活

多一星支持国产和为所有配乐歌曲。比哪吒好看多了。现实讨生活的部分很真实。踏着萤火虫奔跑的细节很动人。不认，我不认。听到Fly Away的时候好喜欢，听到Rolling On的时候头皮发麻，最后无限单曲循环无名的人。敬你的沉默和每一声怒吼，敬你低着头上山往高处走。要对身边比你处境更差的人温柔。像是在对我两年半的大湾区生活告别，走之前去一趟广州看舞狮吧。
不好看我头输给你！九连真人的歌迷一定要去看啊啊啊啊啊，我死了
看物料和介绍的时候就感觉这片我不一定会喜欢，结果真是一点都没超出预期。对这种强行打鸡血喊口号的片子已经一点也提不起兴趣了。国人拍热血真的很喜欢用力过猛地自我陶醉、自我感动。踩着一个空虚而脱离现实的壳去大谈特谈什么理想和不服输的抱负，在我看来已经输了。而且也太多国片是这个调性了吧？哪吒，俑之城，燃野，扑水…内核或者套路都一样一样的吧？也真是被鸡血得疲劳了。刻板印象的视角也还是那么多。唉，国漫有啥长进了啊，别再跟我说技术了，技术好故事差也不要老在谈崛起了。唯一超出预期的就是配乐了，歌儿都太好了！而且居然还有一首椅子的Rollin' on！我差点激动得要跳起来。
2022年看过的最好的一部动画片，原谅我没在院线观看，无名的人，莫欺少年穷，纸飞机，好的影片配好的音乐，太太燃的一部激励影片，看的我眼泪哗哗，这么好的影片上映的时候排片少！还有大家不去看电影的精彩本身，缺是在黑眯眯眼的问题，有意思吗？真的是一部精彩的动画！周星驰，黄飞鸿，宣扬舞狮文化，爱情，亲情，梦想的多种元素的融合。
天生我材必有用、仰天大笑出门去 我辈岂是是蓬蒿人、长风破浪会有时 直挂云帆济沧海……如果这些都是骗人的，为什么大声说出来心里还会充满力量？
男主去广州前节奏情节稀烂，去广州之后变得精彩起来了，四星鼓励
但明确瑕不掩瑜与居心叵测的分野也必要。
完全可以预料的剧情和桥段，人设也不新鲜。但制作还是十分精彩，舞狮的段落很有诚意。冲着说乳化的那些骂名多加一星
终于不再教我们有梦想谁都了不起了。
本来我还能勉强说服自己是画风独特，结果导演采访里直接“比例基本类似于真人，不完全一样，但非常接近。”给我整不会了。那就是设计水平跟其他高质量作品有差呗，还请多多努力。
三星，最后所有狮队一起打鼓加0.5星。
说实在的 一开始看剧情梗概和预告，预期放的还是挺低的，剧情走势无非是俗套的那一套呗，平凡少年通过自身努力改变了什么。但实际上，是 又 不是。好好讲故事，真好。五星给配乐给剧情给镜头。给狮头。给那一颗扬起的水珠。
影片的最后，我忍不住叫了一声好，并带头鼓掌。而此时，我的眼角已经因长时间在泪水中浸泡而有些疼痛。2021年的最后一天，在这样一部电影中结束，感到无比的快乐，今年无憾。国产电影今年除了这一部外，还有《爱情神话》都是值得去看的佳作，当然，别忘记带着孩子一起去看这一部《舞狮少年》。
就最后的比赛有点看头。
比起“道山靓仔”阿娟阿猫阿狗的成长，更打动我的其实是“阿珍爱上了阿强”（并为此写了一篇长评）。
3颗半 有出彩的段落 但节奏还是很垮 台词还是很尬
