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".
她奔向的不是女儿，而是死亡啊(๑•́ωก̀๑)这个电影真的值得二刷，因为可以从妈妈的视角再次解读一些话和一些事件行为，比如结婚证那么重要的东西，为什么一个亲戚给你撕了你一点都不生气。真的很棒的一部片子，值得满星！
整个电影院都在哭。每一个人都在哭。每一个。
4.5。雪中独行的背影我哭崩了。我的确也有想过，“如果没有我，他们会不会开心点”、“我是不是一个值得被夸耀的孩子”……
押宝，今年口碑第一可能是这部，合家欢电影，又哭又笑，老少皆宜。（也可能是上午被唐探的拉胯气到吐血之后忽然看到这部觉得很惊喜），总之我觉得这是一部真诚的作品。但是陈赫这个角色确实不知道在干嘛…
所以这就是为什么她看着她眼里总是有泪光一样，因为她认出她来了。
牛逼！笑的时候让人开怀大笑，触动的时候让人眼角湿润。整个电影的立意也很好，在女性导演的电影中，英子年轻时简直太美了。结局的反转让人震撼，牛逼！
其实打那么高的分数我觉得是因为给观众带来了共情感，实际上这部电影最多7.5分的水准
总体而言，这就是加长版小品，很多地方的戏剧结构是错的，所以结尾并不催泪，反而觉得过于主旋律。如果放在cw，绝对是上上水平。

焕英阿姨啊，你女儿小玲现在可有出息了，你在天上看到了吗？
得，今年春晚没看，这部超长版小品找补回来了。前面搞笑老套（没笑），后面强行煽情（没哭）。
用情真挚，可惜香港没有上映，按耐不住看了网上版本，背景音里传来观众的啜泣，欠贾玲一张电影票。希望通关了能回去多陪陪家人。
最美的不是重回青春的艳阳天，而是渐渐为你变作中年妇女的屋檐。只是分明是两个人共同的心愿，为何要留一个人独自健康快乐的承诺。
《你好，李焕英》再次证明，震撼人心的好作品给观众留下的第一印象永远是综合而纯粹的感性认识，过后要缓很久才轮到次位的条条框框的理性分析——豆瓣8.1分，无愧。
好久没看到笑点这么密又清爽不油腻不自以为是的了，妈妈那条线也是给的出乎意料，有打到泪点
躲的了初一，躲不过十五，躲的了去年院线，躲不过今年六公主
7.7分，看完后问一同观影的妈妈这个电影和《送你一朵小红花》哪个好？她说各有千秋。其实这是有道理的，就以这部电影前半段而言，真的很缺乏电影感，难怪让那么多影评人诟病。但比起《送你一朵小红花》那模棱两可的结局而言，无疑是《你好，李焕英》的反转胜了。有一个好反转的电影，在豆瓣上评分往往不会太低。
虽然结尾还是有点煽情过度
看之前：让我瞅瞅老百姓爱看的能是啥货色。看的过程：果然笑料好尴尬特效好廉价煽情好肉麻。看完了：嗯，票房冠军就应该是这样的，中国老百姓就应该爱看这个，我就是个老百姓。（抹了把眼泪）
