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".

很小儿科，孩子看还行，怎么不靠谱的小伙伴非得是黄皮肤啊
真的太难看了，说几点看法，故事尚可，女主从头到尾就一个表情，总是一副别人欠她钱的感觉，女主的设定不就是个法医吗，怎么还会功夫，轻松制服几个男人？镇长最后明明可以直接解决掉女主，非要找水猴子来？那不是闲的吗？结果还让人给反杀了，那水猴子是怎么突然醒悟的呢？前不久还和女主对拼呢，这会直接恢复意识了，啥玩意，太扯了。都跟村民说完了事情，结果自己单独去找镇长算账，村民们是干什么吃的？非得体现主角有多强吗？这里根本说不通，到最后村民才陆续赶来，都特么结束了来干嘛？知道自己孩子的消息不应该立马就来吗，无语
喜欢女主，多给一颗星。故事一般，但恐怖片也就这样啦，给个六分及格分
虽然评分比第一部高，并且增加了悬疑，但是我感觉还不如第一部好看，动作太少了，而且最后居然成了人作怪，跟上一部联系也不大，水生怎么了？
世上有许许多多看似“怪异”的人，可他们也是人，也有一颗有温度的心，还望我们放下偏见，善待他们。也许你会说我咋想这么多，我无话可说，这就是我的感受吧。
《城郊的另一边2》，不解为何要翻译成《耍宝警探》？基调还是延续第一部的轻松风格，案情推理较弱但笑点很多。奥玛希与罗兰拉斐特欢喜「斗嘴搭档」再度携手，十年之约众望所归。很多片段搞笑程度不输第一部（争抢老太太拥抱与大床房裸睡），且用经典的「法式幽默」对种族、肤色、性向与民粹等热门话题大肆调侃，令人忍俊不禁（这点也只有他们做得到）。我向来对这种所谓「老套的」法语动作喜剧毫无抵抗力，《城郊2》让我笑的很开心，这就够了。
我认为，儿童的恐惧源自幻想，而大人的恐惧源自愚蠢。
比第一部好的简直不是一点点，第一部的结尾太太个人英雄主义了，这一部的结尾温馨的了不少，从整体来说，第二部比第一部进步了很多！
can't even finish the whole thing
人生第一部参与了大量镜头的电影，五星给自己。看到大家夸猫可爱，虫子恶心我就开心了。
比第一部 故事复杂了一些 但是揭晓的也挺好懂的 已经能预见第三部以那个小男孩展开 不过这样也忒没新意了吧 每一部没有悬念留下 下一部直接旧瓶装新酒 往现成模板里套故事 观众会疲惫的 有些细节里边没交代 只能靠自己脑补连接上了…
越来越get不到那种琐碎+漫长的嘴炮式幽默
因为配音组去看的哈哈哈奇怪的理由 开头就是太康的声音！片子本身剧情挺一般的 也不是很恐怖
Of course, it’s another queer-baiting movie🙂！故事叙述急促混乱，节奏把控非常稚嫩。但是画面，布景，和配色真的很美很舒适。最喜欢的场景是The Jungle
悬念的推进稍显不足 但是值得四星鼓励 这水猴子的妆化的也太牛了
意外还不错 有一点点盖曼风格的儿童奇幻+80s B级片最喜欢的液体浇头
这部评分低但是还可以 适合小孩子看 暗黑童话题材，小演员的演技都不错，夜光苗圃的镰刀骷髅头挺有意思，望不到尽头的图书室也挺让人向往 魔女好美..！会吃人的巫婆 虽然故事情节老套 但是没那么无聊。觉得这部电影同时也在告诉小朋友不要轻易的去否定自己，从而放弃自己的梦想爱好👌🏻
I love krysten ritter but lol
