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".
城西支部有钱的话，公平20年可能也这么干，但案件实在是无聊
我想我不会再看了。
比起SP，电影版的案件以及推理过程还像那么一回事，当然，其间有一个致命的情感逻辑缺陷不能容忍（就是尸体换来换去，尸体的家人竟然可以容忍吗？）杉咲花比起剧集的两任女主更适合男主，中二、热衷破案且颇有天赋，演技也不错；西岛秀俊没有黑化很遗憾啊，坐在台下听女儿弹钢琴热泪盈眶，总让我想起《悠长假期》。
道枝弟弟演技太垮了，长得挺帅的人怎么演戏一点sense都没有，求你去拍平面广告吧！J家居然把他塞到那么重要的角色太暴露缺陷了，如果打个酱油还不至于差得那么突兀
剧情中规中矩的家庭戏份，没有上一集出彩。整体的制作还是很OK的～ 下饭可看
故事走向是典型的好莱坞大团圆结局，一场因精灵旅社交接仪式引发的冒险。 能把人变成怪物、怪物变成人的钻石激光，变成人后沉醉于自己美貌不停自拍的弗兰克，变成人后力量弱小的德古拉，电影里许多人物动作都带给我不少欢乐。 烤焦的棉花糖外糊内黏，我爱你本来的样子。
就是家庭伦理片，我觉得这个系列可以一直拍，而且永远没有新意。
3.5星吧，较第三部搞笑元素升级了，但是从悬崖上下滑运用了博物馆奇妙夜上的情节。从23部可以看出到网络大电影的转变
知道为什么拍大结局，因为拍不动了。不过能坚持四部也不容易了。
Illumination最开始至少还能做到人物可爱，这个系列收官集到底是为什么要画出这么丑的Johnny做主角呕……（虽然知道是不好看，但还是看完了，感觉自己比齐泽克好一些🤏
婚姻使生活沉闷，真是连动画片都躲不过的铁律。
故事结构和《无敌破坏王2》非常雷同，而男主笨比过头又让人无法对最后的冰释前嫌达成共鸣。梅菲斯确实挺可爱，就是搞不懂为啥要找这么个老公。
有些动画真的不需要续集了…除了第一部后面的剧情好像完全都不记得了。每次看这种大杂烩乱嗨为了续集而续集的动画，都会恨自己，为什么不能绝情一点弃了算了…
今天一天又看了一遍1-3，四第一遍看，姥爷明显配音换人了啊
木乃伊，隐形人，弗兰肯斯坦，狼人和吸血鬼父女都很可爱。
三星半。故事很简单，充满了很多有意思的细节，画得也好看。
只看过1，而且已经基本忘了内容是啥，但还是乐得前仰后合。也许是我心情愉悦时笑点特别低？现在好像对这种公式化的片子容忍度大了不少，都出到4了，公式化简直太正常不过了，难度在于当大家都知道是什么故事时，能把逻辑顺清楚，把故事讲好。我觉得已经做得很不错啦~
第四部发挥中规中矩，或偏向一些无聊，可以看看。依稀记得看第一部时的惊艳，十年光景，感谢陪伴。
五一小长假最后一天，陪小朋友在书城旁的影院临时决定把《神奇动物》改为《精灵旅社4》。
