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".
多点这种片子，蛮好的。治愈温馨的绘本风格。
刚沉浸于这一个，开始播下一个了。追评：昨天心情不好，今天心情正常，重看一次，被感动了。以后真的是要在什么状态下看什么类型的作品
国内首部原创绘本电影，汇集7位年轻动画导演选取和制作的主题不一的故事，以水墨、水彩、剪纸、手绘等各自不同的绘本画风呈现，生动又治愈。虽说是绘本动画，以儿童的视角和口吻叙述，却并不只适合儿童。小孩子看的是故事，成年人看的是回忆，也是童年。七个故事里最感动的是萤火虫女孩、小火车和外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅。萤火虫一章很有宫泽贤治的风格，梦幻唯美，表达出长大的孩子离开家乡后乡土的寂寞。小火车最富文学象征意味，先抑后扬的表现手法令人震撼，乍一看以为小火车是自制交通工具，直到最后才揭晓，令人泪目，这个单元也是最扣题的～而外婆的故事最令我难过。小小的铁皮柜满满当当，铺开后竟就是外婆劳碌而艰辛的一生。看罢潸然泪下，我也想外婆了。糖水铺一章的技巧最精致，虽然画风简单却并不容易造就，精妙的转场体现出导演们精妙心思！
之后线上看完补上吧
小白兔的问题：成长与父母之爱；
而童话故事的真实又告诉我，童年并非只有美好，但这些经历却会让我变得更好。
《翼娃子的星期天》
《翼娃子》:原书出彩，这个单元也蛮喜欢。
其他故事也很感人，串联的童言童语也很有趣。
《哼将军与哈将军》可爱！太可爱！二郎神好像一年一度喜剧大赛里的张弛哈哈哈
怎么说呢，看到其中觉得别扭的部分会告诉自己这是幼儿向可以理解，可是幼儿显然也很难get到这些叙述，挺矛盾的。（ps：看完立马去附近吃面了，好诱惑）
影院排片实在很少，但看过之后和预期差距确实比较大，抱着来学习的心态看的。有些故事表现感觉不太完整，比较喜欢第三个故事的剧情和第四个故事的画风，感觉还可以做的更好一些。
美术风格挺好的，但前几个故事好低幼，配音还要棒读严重，都快将我看睡呢……
追着梦想，一路向北，荆棘伴着鲜花，迎着风浪，从不退缩。
平淡的故事，有一定的想象力，时代感绘画风格，温暖治愈，但还是太平了。
七个不同主题的微电影。可能大多数更适合成人看，或者是六年级甚至更高阶段的孩子看。我觉得小朋友更喜欢哼哈二将的故事。成人，例如我，更喜欢外婆那个故事。不过整体画风真的不错。
早上躺在床上翻着淘票票突然发现今天竟然有点映，马上爬起来穿上衣服跑去电影院hhh…
我要打五星，鼓励一下国产动画！希望可以越来越好！
儿童动画版《我和我的XX》。虽然水平参差不齐，但还是不缺“王炸”。不管怎么说，有的东西有人在做就挺好。
《蒯老伯的糖水铺》:改编的好，原来的绘本简直是槽点集锦，这个单元不错。广东方言也是亮点。
