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".
好久没看到这么套路的chick flick romcom了，剧情非常之far fectched和cliche，让人忍不住直摇头和翻白眼…但是另一方面，JLo实在是美得不像话，歌舞都超棒（on my way好好听），有很多片段还是很甜的，就确实适合情人节这个档口吧。虽然感觉整部电影没有一个人设是合理的，但是这帮演员都选的很妙啊（特别是配角们），而且虚虚实实做的也有点意思。总之还是可以不带脑子的磕糖的，就不要有更高的期待了吧。最后补一句：预告片剪的真不错，比正片好看咳咳咳…
唤起了中学时期狂看好莱坞爱情片的那些记忆。非常适合回家瘫在沙发上不动脑子看，虽然不用脑子看都知道起承转合大概都是什么情节，但也证明片子的类型公式走得不错。从影片的10分钟左右我发现欧文威尔逊长得非常像Donald Trump之后，我开始乐个不停。
整体节奏很紧凑的电影，前半段悬念的铺垫很到位，后半段真相逐渐揭晓后直接变黑人爽片了，太过直白导致后劲不够。补充两个喜欢的细节：看到黑暗地道直接把门关上拒绝作死的女主（打破恐怖片剧情俗套）& 游戏玩到一半夺门而逃的亚裔女生（亚裔在黑白种族冲突间的缺席）其实还是不错的片子，从三星改四星吧。
遵Stuckmann旨意去电影院看的，还花的全票价，觉得挺开心的，并从此以后开始祛除此类影片的Chickflick标签（Stuckmann男士说他也喜欢看RomCom）。
想到了天鹅绒圆锯。关于black community，影片采用了几个有意思的意向去表达，从大都市开往旧时贫民窟的晚班列车，集聚的蜂巢..从Jordan Peele开始，关于黑人群体的自我认知的影片这几年层出不穷，但其实没有几部表达出了那种认同感，反而在熟悉的近景大都市描绘里变得疏离
作为一部恐怖片肯定是不合格的，全片杀人桥段几乎一模一样，叙事节奏很差，但它沿用旧版的设定之余又加入了来自我们这个时代的解读，在某种程度上还是挺有意义的，只是表达得比较拙劣。蛮喜欢将糖果人视为精神象征这一概念，比一个具象更为深刻。配乐和摄影加分，开头的仰视镜头和倒转的logo有创意，或许是暗示了镜面空间
太土啦！！！！！真的疯狂翻白眼（但JLo美得也太出挑了
延续了92年糖果人的故事，扩展了糖果人宇宙，这部聚焦于在现代复活糖果人。利用皮影戏回顾故事，以及艺术馆的行为艺术招来真的怨灵还是挺有意思的设计。
我一直在想为什么刚开始结婚的那个表演场子那么小，观众那么少 this will haunt me all day
前有梦境仙女后有镜中仙女，还是个糖仙。人体真菌化看得多了，人体蜂巢化还是挺特别的，结尾蜂群围住头部显示出一种朦胧又诡异的面纱美感，果然虫子很蒂啊(cue奥伯龙)。正儿八经的续作，看到一半就猜到了男主角的身份，被蜜蜂盯了然后半边身子蜂巢化还被狂热粉丝强行断手插铁钩，真的很(人造)糖果侠/蜂人。结尾女主角的召唤也......挺有......意思的。都市传说这块做得还行吧，但总的来说探讨议题还是不如老版。
(What Is) LOVE?》就唱过“musician's are the worst”，可能完美对应剧情了。Owen口音和长相也太……特朗普了，我好难入戏 - - 不敢想象他俩25年前还合作演过《狂蟒之灾》……
只要你对着镜子大喊五声“王桂香” 你就能召唤王桂香让其来…………🔪你
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。
电影宣传做的很火，剧情非常一般，很cliche美国浪漫爱情故事，还是已经老去的中年人，大女主人设很女权。但是，歌曲和舞台效果太好了。然后，剧情非常流畅。还是为演员们点赞。多给一星的歌曲。
没啥大意思，不吓人也不吸引人，下午看的快睡着了
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~
不是不可以拍烂俗爱情片，但是至少拍得好一点啊，不求你对标诺丁山，但至少该有的起承转合矛盾冲突得有吧？莫有，啥都莫有，只有平铺直叙一眼望得到头的流水账。
导演基于zzzq，应该是在表达种族问题，然而，影片越到后面越失控，整个变成了四不像…平庸无趣，乏善可陈！
挺标准的romcom，节奏什么的就跟十几年前的作品一样，好处就是没有明显的缺点（毕竟成熟模式化流水一样）但是看的多了就觉得cliche， 这个容易比较的就是nottinghill，女主大明星，男主普通人，剧情骨干抽出来几乎没啥变化，JLo戏外和ben的宣传感觉比这个电影还多，tbh我总感觉这个电影在暗示什么。OW这个烂仔最近演了挺多的他在这里面的造型才是他最经典的烂仔帮形象（戏里面他是单亲女儿的爸爸这点就有点sarcasm了），I mean，他这样的烂仔（形象）都能天降爱情，还是挺容易让人觉得“我可以”（又在做梦了，梦里啥都有），anyway，当前时代的romcom真的是稀少，so，有一部看一部还挑啥刺呢。BTW，能不能不要在电影里拍那么多ins，ins到底在这里面投了多少广告费啊？！
我全部关注力都在纠结男主的鼻子
