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".
Wednesday怎么可能不是亲生的 毕竟她和她妈简直一模一样
低情商:大杂烩
3星，东木大爷的小成本片， 老爷子演了一辈子戏。经典无数，烂片也一堆，早已放下了名利释然一切，片子简单欢愉，体现了 老爷子的自得其乐。有这份老年人的童真乐趣，想不长寿也难啊。
差强人意吧 本可以写个很好的故事啊 创作者们犯懒了
这是我在电影院大荧幕看的第一部老牛仔，也是我看过的第41部老牛仔的片子。看完后心情很复杂。老牛仔身型不再矫健，动作不再敏捷，情节不再丰满，剧情不再跌宕，冲突不再激烈，但仍旧有硬汉与柔情，美人和少年，最重要的是，仍有老牛仔。马骑，斯泰森牛仔帽，牛仔装服，牛仔靴的大特写，篝火，直面“警察坏人”的大杀阵站位，一只mini手枪，等等元素无一不让人怀念50多年前的那位叱咤南加墨西哥边境的超级独行侠。“I used to be a lotta things, but not now”是老牛仔对自己整个职业生涯的致敬，也是对自己龙钟之态的妥协。91岁的老人，怕他摔着磕着碰着，仍却坚持演绎，还能过分苛责他什么？从没见他在荧幕上说那么多话，从没见他哭过，也从没见他笑得那么童真灿烂，真的是在向自己和观众告别了。
比起第一部确实更合家欢，但是是喜欢的。
饶舌要素过多大概就是亚当斯2低分的原因吧…受不了…一手好牌“Wednesday可能不是亲生的”打得稀巴烂 硬生生变成了歌剧片 亚当斯最看重的就是家人 这次却给Wednesday编人设嫌弃家人…也拒绝拥抱 前一部和真人版是“她不喜欢拥抱 但会和家人拥抱”
字幕已完成 个人感觉还不错 已经比第一部好很多了
剧情清汤寡水，结局有点仓促，东木的片子看一部少一部，这种气质上的从容让人看着很舒服。
喜欢里面很多个人物设定。其实有没有发觉？虽然情节很低幼，总有一个很硬的内核做剧情支撑。一个在叛逆期的敏感女孩，一次重拾家庭关系的旅行，亲情和爱。
比起第一部确实更合家欢，但是是喜欢的。
你曾经骑着牛骑着马 现在你要靠鸡救你了 你嘴里说着 硬汉都是被夸大的 但我们确实见过你硬汉的模样
举重若轻 感染力还是欠在小男孩身上了；但再看到老东木骑马和举枪 我还有什么遗憾呢（jose gonzalez竟然参与了音乐）
这部影片的存在侮辱了亚当斯。DISGUSTING.
可以说是精灵旅社+小黄人了，温馨的家庭喜剧
科学家用“抱错女儿”的理由得到Wednesday，亚当斯一家怀疑但只是拼命躲开科学家，有点牵强。
还不如深挖一下wednesday身上的特质 她的身世难道不是毫无疑问吗😅 fester要比真人版讨喜许多 骑行手套thing帅
轻松，随和，令人愉悦，影像的力量和舒缓的节奏缓慢地释放着影片的真挚感情。希望东木老爷保重身体，以后有机会继续拍出自己想拍的电影啊！
最喜欢Wednesday
就是不愿服老啊，他还知道，就是要做无谓的反抗。
