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".
警察说“举起手来”，话音刚落，马上就开枪！
感觉好像在演jlo的真实人生一样 她怎么做到的五十多岁这个状态太牛了 这种不需要动脑子的片子看着也挺开心
因为种族歧视而凝聚的愤怒，一起汇成了糖果人。
他俩还是陌生人的时候，很尬，没有cp感，两人恋爱后还是很违和，非常违和。男主演技很好，完全就是一个不喜社交的数学老师，性格内敛。女主就负责唱歌跳舞和大笑就好了，电影里两人哪怕是情侣也让观众认为他们不来电。
特别理所应当的情感走向，毫不意外的起承转合。诺丁山令人信服，这部让人觉得情感就是儿戏。
至少引起了对黑人群体的反思。但电影中，为什么要召唤糖果人（传说是召唤出来把你杀死，这也太作了），除了大结局女主召唤是有原因，其他都是作死，那就没有意义。糖果人只杀白人吗？好像片中也杀了黑人。传说的传承是为了诉说悲剧？以暴制暴始终解决不了问题。恐怖倒不怎么恐怖，都是直接一钩毙命。
一部在效仿查理兹塞隆《全民追女王》的狗血爆米花电影，但是詹尼佛洛佩兹让这部电影增添了许多可看性，几套造型美得都能拿奥斯卡最佳服装设计了，华丽高贵。换个男主角可能会更好些，欧文威尔逊老去之后的那张脸看起来像打了玻尿酸还做了丰唇。
开头被镜面和颠倒的世界惊艳到，越到后面越喜欢！蜂巢太赞。这么暗黑的candyman怎么能去漫威呢，必须DC🌚
俗，但是就是该死的想看。‖意料之中的剧情，意料之中的甜品。虽然一打开我还惊了一下这小甜品怎么有将近两个小时，后来才发觉这是因为里面有好多完整的歌。(●°u°●)」我得说，虽然我不喜欢欧文•威尔逊，但是他的头发看起来好好摸哦。
#是也乎,(￣▽￣)
JL状态不错，完全架空合理性的一部爆米花🍿电影
蜂群是无数受害者亡魂的集合，糖果人即是黑人血泪史本身。一向渴望跻身上流忽视非裔过往的女主最终在警暴前召唤出了糖果人，成为糖果人继任者的男主对白人警察大开杀戒并在结尾以92版糖果人的面貌写就了对白人的同态复仇檄文。乔丹·皮尔把故事说好了但还是同《我们》一样缺乏力度，拍得比老版还要文艺恐怖两不靠。中间女学生们对着镜子作死时亚裔选择了中途退出，所反映的态度与《逃出绝命镇》中亚裔与白人同为压迫者的形象有所不同，不知是女导演的意思还是皮尔本人对亚裔的某种期待。
两颗星给JLo和片子里的歌，确实很美&蛮好听。
半百老人焕发第二春。J Lo真美啊，身材皮肤都紧致年轻，歌也超级好听。
宣传的时候说什么新版notting hill…其实就是个小甜剧吧我都要快进看了。两个人演的都挺好的，就是说这个剧情也蛮合理的就是没啥意思
故事带有明显的种族议题，糖果人身上遗传着黑人对白人的恨意，但似乎需要有一定了解才能有所感触。
基本上就是普通人娶到白富美的爱情片~中途男主还跑去直播走李永乐路线~有点意思~看的时候感觉男主的笑容好僵硬，而且总觉得他鼻子受过重伤…还有女主的婚纱装扮还不如普通衣服好看…说起来今天刚看到一条微博提到在《民间故事形态学》里这类故事叫做“灰姑娘反串版”，然后晚上回来就看到这么一部电影~真是有趣~
2022年了这样的剧情未免太老套，男主后段想分手也有点突兀，但是歌曲是真的好听洗脑
哎，要是能真复兴90年代的rom com就好了
像MV串烧，男主人设跟老头子似的。时代变了，jennifer lopez这身材搁现在就一梨形大妈，每一个穿紧身衣的舞台都令我尴尬。
