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".
2小时的时长但剧情的确只有短片的体量，感觉作一部电视剧的首集比较合适，可以慢慢讲述末日里失去主人的狗和机器人如何开启他们的冒险旅程，拍成一个短剧。但单独作为电影感觉有点太空了。
师父说：“别认”。明明知道被套路了。人生高光，留在背后，转身就走，不留下一片云彩；人呐，得憋着一口气，得为了这口气活着。非常港味儿，美术大法好，值得花钱去电影院，ost加分。
阿娟成年之际，从留守到进城，发型、肤色、体格的改变见证他的蜕变，生活就是一场舞狮，一步步踩着高桩。
科幻的成分很稀薄，说它是公路片更合适。片中有个镜头有意思，机器人杰夫第一次在镜子中看到了自己，他凝视了片刻。我觉得那是他形成自我意识的关键一刻。杰夫从模仿主人的一举一动，渐渐地形成了“我之为我”的意识。随后，他快速地成长为主人的好帮手。这个过程颇为动人。汤姆·汉克斯已经老了，作为他多年的影迷，感觉他也在这部片子中跟我们告别。
7分。设定让人想起皮克斯机器人总动员。片子太简单，不管是世界末日，还是关于信任的立意。有个可爱的小动物，有个善解人意暖心的人工智能，加上大名鼎鼎演技派就可以让很多人给高分！！！感觉最近几年是美国电影业的低潮，经典影片似乎难得一见了。
希望未来也能够有独属于中国的女性题材动画。
虽然是套路化 但是真真实实的感动了 其实模仿了星爷的很多东西 但你很难不共鸣 2021年了 我们还是愿意相信李白 相信诗的 滚烫过的孩子仍然爱火
无聊，童话低配版我是传奇+WALL·E，苹果拍点能看的。
舞狮的部分非常棒！没在现实中看过踩高桩的舞狮，也没看过现实中的抢青😹

机器人和狗子怎么可以这么可爱！隔着满眼的泪看觉得更可爱了妈的！😭
要爱具体的人，而非空洞的梦。
天台那场醒狮飘逸洒脱韵律十足至燃烧也至浪漫入定我年度十佳，不管叫阿猫阿狗阿珍阿强阿娟不管是黄皮白皮黑皮大小眼单双眼皮都没人能对你指指点点妄下侮辱之定义，「有没有听见心里面有一声咆哮」，是世界上另个一你自残酷现实反弹后的发问，是成人后于坎坷跌宕锤炼过的落音，从黑夜迎接朝阳也会继续走入榛莽，万物不息雄狮何惧。
画面好看，运镜质感，调度丰沛，细节考究，剧情流畅，节奏极佳，题材现实，生活气息浓厚，人物塑造典型，配乐契合，就连卡点都那么熨帖，令观众看到了国产动画的曙光。
辛苦的打工人，即便睡地板还是没有忘却理想，晚上没人的时候上天台练习也很感人。我都要哭死在影院了~~~
和《大圣归来》的观感很像，好看但没法沉浸，因为各种拿来主义太容易让人出戏了，何况《少林足球》和《狮王争霸》我都看了十几二十遍。
已经开始想象如果最后狗狗也去世了，杰夫会是多么的孤独。杰夫最开始喜欢的名字是莎士比亚，或许那才是真正to be or not to be的时刻。
在后周星驰时代 目前为止最有周星驰神韵的电影 竟然是一部没有周星驰参与制作的动画 操 太燃了
每个平凡人的心中，都有一头猛兽，
只要熬过前半小时的一星抠脚趾，就会迎来后半程的亿星燃宇宙——狮半脸、挂狮头、化狮佛前——神来之笔，缪斯亲临，毋多言，辈可吹。愿你知晓，他没有坠入水中，魂即人，身可摧，魂不倒，他护灵魂屹立高处。愿你知晓，他不止赢得比赛，人即神，婵娟去，白狮归，他引生命飞跃凡尘。一部不折不扣「有味道」的电影，相信我，唢呐一起，没有人会问你为什么跪在影院里。愿你永不向现实低头，知晓挫折与苦难不是发生在你身上，而是为你而发生——为你去战胜它，而发生。
