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".
行 奈奈回来了不容易 就不能把女主换回来吗
我只是不理解，为了保护两个啥都不懂的孩子而冤枉了一个无辜的人，害得另一个孩子失去了父母，这是合理的吗😔
案情本身还行，可惜我get不到浮夸的表现形式和冷笑话。松本润是开了美颜滤镜吗？和他人形成强烈对比……
既然你拍的是电影那就不能跟tv/sp一样的节奏和套路……
SP的续集，但是案件太离谱，被冤枉的人在村里到底人缘是有多差，才会被全村人抛弃？好像除了男主，其他人都在嘻嘻哈哈根本没有在用心破案。女助手太平民，还是喜欢木村文乃。
两个小时的电影，最开始的案件太敷衍了，后面事件的真相也挺无语的，比较牵强
（2022第一次进电影院结果为了追星）小律师好久不见！！翘翘发尾太可爱啦！明石一如既往的好努力很难不喜欢哈哈哈！立花回来的瞬间真的好开心！片尾听到熟悉的Find the answer太幸福啦！唯一被感动到的是西岛叔的演技，对叔的爱又增加了！（熟悉的喜剧节奏确实蛮好笑的！案件就不说了哈哈哈当sp图一乐吧就！道枝弟弟出场的时间我都在咬牙抠脚指憋笑对不起弟弟加油哇！
………. 没必要没必要，连电视剧的规格都算不上
就很普通，案子像是某个听过的故事，南云的人设和SP不符
我的天，现在艺能界要找一个虽然没有奈奈那么可爱，但起码不像文乃那么木讷，笑声又不那么魔性的妹纸已经这么难了？
完全在看演员们的对戏和互动，没咋在意案件。小花演得太可爱了，尤其是听到冷笑话时的笑声与眼神，哈哈。
今天虎年第一天，认真看了这部律师题材电影，精彩，就喜欢这种不可能胜诉但是又胜诉的官司！就是在这部剧中，律师担当了警察的职责，自己去找线索或者还原案发现场！2小时的电影，全程都吸引人！有些搞笑环节竟然还笑了几次！小日本破案电影都拍的不错的！男主角是不是脸上打过针或者微整形了，看上去不自然！还有，镜头切换太强调谁说话，切换到谁！头晕了！我艹，就不能来个中景也可以！非要人物特写吗！！有几次每个人说话很短，天哪，这镜头切换的让我头晕打恶心了！三颗星给剧情！这镜头切换扣两颗星，本来想给五星的
既然你拍的是电影那就不能跟tv/sp一样的节奏和套路……
竟然还有电影！！！
没看过剧集，所以觉得主角太装逼，不过剧本本身是很赞的，另一个律师演员的演技非常棒
案子离谱又气人，村民们为了所谓的保护孩子未来，把善良的人迫害到家破人亡，还毫无悔改之心，犯罪者侥幸逃脱制裁，留下鳄鱼的眼泪。剧情真的很弱，全员归位唤起了一点点情怀。
西岛叔爆炸演技撑起三星
这次的案子也不错，虽然起因和结束都稍微有一些突兀，但反射出的内核很喜欢。
香川照之和西岛秀俊演技还是牛的，可惜松润没能撑起来案件揭开后的情绪拔高，画面切到他这里差了一口气，不得不说有点遗憾。案件拍得蛮好，两个案子一简一繁一轻一重，人物立得鲜明，即使我这种没看剧版的观众也能get主角团各位。有点想因为影版去看电视剧了哈哈哈哈哈
还有，用大银幕欣赏松本润睫毛会很爽吧(很难不被吸引
