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".
吉浦康裕终于也到了安心制作合家欢影片的时候吗。“机器人科幻”和“音乐”这两个他追逐了二十年的元素，在这却只是给一个再寻常不过的校园故事作衬。不过比起其上部作品与本片有异曲同工之感的细田守，吉浦监督和大河内老师聪明在他们甘愿囿于青春反抗的保险范式，不会让观众因不切实际的野心而扫兴。
比想象中惊喜少一点，可能因为太久没看院线动画所以期待值拉上去了_(:з」∠)_但依然是可爱温馨的电影
有很可爱的细节。但主剧情实在无聊，毫无进步。看得频频走神。
比起动画，更像一部歌剧。披着科幻外皮的歌剧，情感和演出效果才是核心。这点几乎做到了完美，要是能在影院观赏就好了。
实在是不好评价，最后私心为了里面的音乐加了一颗星，因为音乐和舞蹈真的太棒了！但是剧情就很平庸，而且本次没有太多深刻含义传递出来，就还是“家庭和谐”的美式主旋律，人物塑造上也颇多值得掰扯的政治正确，故事叙述有明显的低幼倾向，并非具备全年龄段输出新颖深刻含义的上乘作品，但是观赏性还是拉满，尤其坐在影院里跟着片中韵律轻拍大腿真的很欢乐哎！
故事不错，后期的剧情走向有惊喜，歌也不错。期待值虽然不比近期另一部音乐为卖点的动画电影，实际品质却远超预期，五星好评了。
画风好看！剧情一般，但是友情还是挺感人的，最感人的是AI能够将自己的记忆备份，结果记忆里全是悟美的成长的点点滴滴，呜呜感人！以及，青梅竹马必在一起的定律，还是让人觉得“我又相信爱情啦”哈哈哈哈
好看诶！迪士尼歌舞剧也可以讲一个可爱又完整的故事 不是为了歌舞而歌舞（空手道大哥有点可怜 呜呜呜
《夏日友晴天》更胜一筹，《魔法满屋》价值观一言难尽，不管你家人怎么忽略你打压你，你必须无条件对家人好，然后一个拥抱就和解了，懂了吗？
Shion设定的内核还蛮不错的，但剧本写的俗套并且低龄，算是通病？
3.5。整尬的其实有点意思，日本业界是真的很努力想啃下歌舞类型。柔道歌舞那段非常好看。
南美風情動感迷人，文化基因滿格，整體好評。
比较平淡的一部工作室作品 故事太过低幼，彻底的童话作品：一切仅仅只是灌输一个规则信条给儿童去相信，但形式又太过简单乏味。歌舞喧宾夺主。
有点被惊到了土屋的声音这么蒂的吗
校园恋爱喜剧，老套了点关于ai和人的故事。
有些地方确实有些强行尴尬 虽然是个完整的故事 但确实没有很纯粹的震撼到我 可能缺了一些细节的刻画 因为这种不贴近生活的ai 大主题确实很难深入人心 甚至最后还开起了ai party哦漏
平淡但温暖的剧情（中途多次落泪）+有趣的人物设定+精彩的歌曲（迪士尼Classic+Pop的新元素 很惊喜 好喜欢surface pressure那首）真的很好听！
看过最难看的迪士尼动画，好端端一个动画整得像音乐剧一样，不伦不类，题材也比较无聊，令人乏味。
故事很简单，很童话，但歌很好听！好喜欢最后的All of You（But stars don't shine, they burn; the constallations shift, I think it's time you learn: you're more than just your gift.）西语的Dos Oruguitas听得让人想学西班牙语。
7分，去年的《寻龙传说》剧情我很喜欢，但迪士尼女主不唱歌跳舞总觉得少了点什么，这部虽然剧情不能细想，歌舞倒是量大管饱，最喜欢伊莎追寻自我遍地生草的那段，有迪士尼公主片的feel了。
