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".
即使唐家屯人老来可亲得都快成小猪佩琦风了，但音乐一起还是让人买单啊。
当然有!在上百部数十小时的“电影”中，她被永恒记录着，玛吉史密斯的五十六倍人生。
我真的真的很喜欢唐顿2这次的双线剧情设定，节奏可以说很紧凑巧妙了，每一个人物的出场配合The Suite这十多年的主题曲简直是一进影厅就泪奔的程度（关于我迟到了2分钟），从当初分辨每个人物都费好大力气到如今看到每个人物出场都泪目，这中间说没有情怀是假的，这也直接导致我看到granny将死之时哭到心梗。但影片还是温情多于悲伤，可以把这部看做“夏季版圣诞特辑”，依旧是纯纯的英式合家欢。还让我比较惊喜的地方在于来Downton拍电影这部分，很多台词都真实反映了从无声电影到有声电影过渡阶段导演、演员们的无所适从，电影的发展始终伴随着技术的更迭，就像贵族也在逐渐适应与现代融合，整体立意不拔高但很有趣。我对唐顿永远有fans滤镜，必须满星。
马修古迪没空来拍了吗。依然是絮叨的日常，仿佛统治阶级和底层亲如一家。
拍电影这个提到的无声转有声的概念挺像雨中曲，也是女主声音不行
挺好看，也挺有趣味，也挺感人，尤其是最后老伯爵夫人去世那幕，让人想起许多往事。影片画面都很美，服装也漂亮，场景好看，几场群戏非常精彩。时常感觉，这拍的欧洲贵族之家，真的是很有贵族风，而我们的电影中拍出的贵族之家总是晦暗深沉，老朽麻木，缺乏生气。什么时候我们也能把中国的贵族之家拍得生机勃勃，上点档次。
马修古迪是没档期吗，大小姐明明还在婚姻中，但编剧还是硬给她凑一个暧昧对象，剧情整体还是过于戏剧化
3.5星 | 工整且无趣，剧只看了前三季，因此很多人物都已经不熟悉了，幸而英音还是很好听的。w/ Cloudy.
真的别再拍了，两部电影版都是徒有其表，已经失去了唐顿的精髓。
和刘亦濛在私影看的第十八部，还是那个旋律，老太太竟然去世了😭
两条主要的故事线(女儿们的唐顿，爸妈的南法)，再加一群电影人和侍者们的故事，有笑有泪，大体圆满。最后奶奶离开，巴罗也说会离开唐顿，说不伤感是假的，但更多还是预料之中的慨叹。
太精彩了！南法真的美呆了。如果这是 最终集，大部分粉丝都会满意。希望中国上映时能取得好成绩。
为了去电影院看电影从一堆垃圾中选出来去看的，原谅粗鄙无知的我没有一点触动，电影里的冠冕堂皇和扭捏作态简直要让我窒息了
参与了猫眼的提前点映，起初是有些担心看不懂，看海报这么多人物，理不清楚人物关系，完全是我多心了，画面精致就不用说了，故事分为两条线走，剧情紧凑曲折，暗藏英伦小幽默。完整体现了传统贵族的精致生活和日常礼仪。太惊喜了，后面要把前作和剧集也补上
应该不会再有续集了吧。几乎每个人都得到了happy ending
唐顿永不结束！只要Crawley一家有人在，唐顿就永不结束！
PS. 那个片头的演员表顺序是什么鬼？看着像是打乱重排的，但是也不像是按照咖位的，难不成是按照片酬么？这样的话Laura Carmichael好牛逼啊
唐顿庄园角色三千，我却独宠Thomas一个（好吧其实Tom也挺帅的）
比上一部好很多，拍电影和继承南法别墅两个事件都很讨巧，充满了欢乐和温暖。对粉丝尤其友好，cue到了很多前情，让人无限怀念巅峰时期离开的二小姐和大表哥。看之前并没有什么期待，但看完之后还是希望这个电影版能继续拍下去，让观众关于唐顿庄园的记忆能不断被唤起，并延续下去。
