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".
打斗吗？看起来还行，故事的剧情也算紧凑，只不过反派过于低智商，过于弱智，拉低整体水平，而且这个所谓的，附身，也特别的离奇，没法解释，也解释不清
[视]动作戏一般，林智妍衣着严实，受了些皮外伤，不虐<人间中毒>。车祸，失忆，前期进展慢，朴智焕幽默<犯罪都市2>，移魂穿越<内在美>，范围定向定时被动穿越。66号公路，中文元素，高领短发女反不及预期，徐贤宇像赵震雄。结尾许栋元女装客串，今天第二部豆网演员表查漏补缺韩影
平庸，苛刻点说剧场版的张力在电影中几乎被磨平，特写镜头表达的情感居然还不如剧场固定视角来得细腻已经很说明问题了。插入几首pop新曲破坏叙事节奏，还把激情四溢的Legend of Loco Chanelle和Limited Edition删了...删了......怎么想的.........谢幕的可爱亮片牛仔装也没有呈现完整版：）
剧情简单但还是很燃，想原地在剧场里跳舞
选角还是棒棒哒，但对着我的小屏幕大大削减张力。可能看现场舞台剧会好一些
废了不少心思在呈现和创意上，但是这个故事真的过于单薄了
打斗吗？看起来还行，故事的剧情也算紧凑，只不过反派过于低智商，过于弱智，拉低整体水平，而且这个所谓的，附身，也特别的离奇，没法解释，也解释不清
开始会有点无厘头，看到20分钟左右才知道演的是什么剧情，很有趣，为什么那么多人都要去救你，其实只有一个人
每12个小时灵魂自动更换一人寄生的题材，挺有意思的题材，偏偏故事内核锁定黑帮犯罪片，全片看下来略显无趣！
@ Prime hmm 我有几年没有follow新音乐剧了，听过原卡的专辑，但是没太多印象。这个剧情真的蛮cliché的，看了开头都能猜到后面会发生什么的节奏…Sheffield的口音有些有趣。看评论，删了好些歌啊。同类型题材的，我喜欢Kinky Boots多一点。这两年好些改电影的音乐剧，等着看周末的DEH吧。
真不咋地。设定挺有趣，结果后面的节奏就开始拖沓，动作戏也一般，最后疾速追杀上身。看完才知道主演叫尹启相，我一直以为是河正宇。
就是感觉立意挺好的，但是剧情撑不起这个立意，男女主压根儿也没有展现什么火花，然后附身的情况下也没有什么引人入胜的点，唯一可取的就是最后的动作戏，整段动作确实行云流水，韩国动作电影看来确实超越了咱们了，不过最后结尾整来一帮杀马特炮灰，主角完成反杀之后也没有解决什么问题。总结一句话，名不副实的电影
很喜欢音乐剧版的Jamie，知道要出电影版之后几乎是掰着指头等上映。剧版里最打动我的角色是妈妈，但电影版最催我泪的是Hugo的回忆，把原版我觉得搞笑成分更多的角色真正赋予了mentor的意义，Hugo一个人抱着花束的镜头我哗哗流泪🥲。个人感觉比较失望的改动是第一次登台前Jamie找到Mimime的自我认同方式，从完全的内心自我呐喊变成了Hugo取名😂同时本来很期待会怎么改编关于hijab的讨论，结果直接没了，fine😅总体而言是我愿意二刷的片子
故事讲的有点乱、有点无聊，女主这部里面不出彩。
（32）2022年4月16日看完。前期悬疑感有了，但是片子过半好像还没给观众透露太多什么有用的信息，然后最后就直接给答案。然后可能我没集中精神，感觉太点快有点乱，角色跟角色身份都差点没分清楚。设定还行。
设定很不错，韩国片的动作场面现在已经成了定式了：西装+超快速剪辑+晃动镜头+写实感
设定还行，可以在很多人身上穿来穿去，体验不同的人生，即使只有短短12小时，但是拍的又混乱又无聊，看完只觉得浪费时间
开头挺惊艳，越到后面越无力。整体太碎片化，一首首歌像MV串烧。作为电影，还是需要更多剧情衔接。想必舞台的效果一定不错吧，想看现场。
电影版的jamie也很可爱啊！不过主题曲的部分没有剧版踩桌子那么爽
Sometimes it’s okay for musicals to simplify things; but for a movie, simplification is not necessarily a plus
