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".
是我病情加重了还是腾哥不行了
科学上不探讨，科幻场景做的不错；虽然我很讨厌煽情，但整个影片还是很完整的；影院里大家笑得很开心，所以还不错
视听语言炸裂，抛却舞台剧的死魂灵，巧妙地运用三屏互动构建人物共情，月壤星砾随着配乐时而恢宏壮丽，时而柔艳妩媚，既有着楚门的世界的鼓动力，也有着火星救援的悲壮感。感情线不再为末日图景作陪衬，从暗送秋波的卑微到天人一隔的入骨再到互诉衷肠的释怀，与袋鼠线连襟游刃往返于整个救援行动中，波澜有致，含情万钧。“我的心承受不住你一颗眼泪的重量，而我愿幻化所有的爱与勇气，送你整场星汉的灿烂”
救命🆘，我真的接受不了一些只会让人尴尬的过时老梗和毫无物理逻辑的科幻
“中间人”这个设定真的很有意思，或许大多数人都是所谓的“中间人”，但是每一个平凡人，或许都可以是别人生命里的一道光，照亮别人的生命啊
开篇确实惊喜，笑点塞满前半小时，虽然俗但确实好笑，如果全片保持这个模式推进我会给四星。喜剧+科幻片的创意，忽略bug，确实是个好题材。
电影卖大钱，公司不裁员。老板心情好，上班压力小。
评分「7.0」
马丽也演绎了一个有血有肉的指挥官，一直觉得她是被喜剧耽误的影后。
剧本不是麻花最佳水准，不过制作水准倒是可以拼一下吧，但是镜头语言再如何雕琢，剧本带来的感觉依旧还是比较舞台剧，前景介绍后一幕一幕过，就一直在心里用在其他科幻电影、小说得知的科幻设定来弥补故事里其实也不是创作者“特意留空”的部分，但最大的问题还是为了要维系起“正剧”和“喜剧”所带来的割裂感……用陨石撞地球来比喻疫情其实这几年也不是第一出，但是这个时代或许已经不必再多造几个英雄来救世，因为确实现实中没有哪个英雄真的有救到整个世界，哪怕是真的去荆轲刺陨石的也不例外……在这个结局、或者这个主角已经难以鼓舞人心的情况下，前面也为了营造基调变得不够荒诞。不过已经算是今年院线里能看得过眼的商业片，而且虽然最终结果不功不过，但也算是一次新尝试，3.5归4。
挺好的呀，该有的有，笑料虽然刻意，故事虽然老套（拼凑），可剧情合理啊，表演在线啊，轻松愉快啊，特效及格啊。这么说吧，咋也比前两个月那个《月球陨落》强太多了吧。

搞笑其实只是这部电影最不值一提的部分。
这两导演我觉得才是牛逼中的牛逼啊，
特效画面、配乐、演技、笑点、燃点，月球真是啥都不缺，巨好看无比！
后面对于沈腾这个角色也是一样，建神又毁神。
喜欢国家主旋律励志，不在意剧情的，阅片量少的，笑点低的，没看过原作漫画的可以看
开心麻花这次没有让我失望，沈腾马丽永远是金字招牌！
同类型的喜剧商业性不如不要抬头，科幻性不如火星救援，沙丘，流浪地球。bug太多，满片子家国情怀，全是赢麻了，边看边叹气。
没有什么记得住剧情，爱情戏，人与动物的友情戏，中规中矩，没有太引起共鸣。
