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".
真正的女主在1997年被判了29年，据说2016年就被释放了，少坐了十年牢。
我願看鴨蛋德賴弗演一百個不一樣的丈夫角色，重點在於他演的每個角色的床戲部分總給人一種他非常專情只愛眼前人的感覺。他簡直是萬金油丈夫角色…
要都按莱托的路子演，倒也不失为一部坎普大片。
1.25倍速看这种流水账片就正好。Lady Gaga真的没演技，没脖子没气质又艳俗，像个人肉炸弹，看着尴尬。一家子都是大直人混啥时尚圈呢。
【古驰家族@平凡】不是中产阶级的资产阶级家庭情节剧，却逃不过普通人的命运。爱恨纠葛，人之常情。人毕竟是人，不同的阶级也会有相似的烦恼。有被阿尔·帕西诺和杰瑞德·莱托的妆发吓到，GaGa的口音和前半段的少女感一样迷人。🖤
3⭐片子，演员表现都很好+1⭐，女主前面呆滞后面演技起飞，雷导速速退休！
故事叙事的推进，都比故事本身的狗血，还混乱。鳖女士真的还行就是说
Tom Ford:“I often laughed out loud, but was I supposed to? "
lady gaga用力过猛的表演配上无数特写镜头我真有些吃不消…另一个问题是，一个主要发生在意大利的故事，所有角色都用一口意大利味的英语，我开始还试图接受这样一个设定，结果餐桌谈话那一幕出来几段法语……敢情这世界还是有别的语言的啊，那还不如像《最后的决斗》一样呢。帕西诺的存在让它有点像个娱乐黑帮片，看完仔细想想，好像这样形容还挺准确。或许是我之前期待的东西不太一样，但这作为雷德利·斯科特的作品来说算得上难看的了。（音乐不时让我跳戏到《猫和老鼠》，不过这个倒纯粹是我的问题）
任何一个点都没讲好 变成庸俗的八点档肥皂剧 电影就跟古驰家族的状态很像一袭华丽的袍子,里面爬满了虱子
导演发挥一般。整部片最让我动容的就是奥尔多出狱后得知保罗卖掉古驰股份的表演，帕西诺仍然拿出了他的表演爆发力，他抱着废物而已的时候，就像麦克抱着弗雷多，不同的是，他没有给保罗一个死亡之吻。
大概是主角们都太坏了（也有可能是太有钱了）吧，真的很难共情。
Dear Hollywood, more Ridley Scott, less Marvel, please! 太喜欢这种正经的好莱坞故事大片了，大明星，大导演，雷导一出手，绝少失手。一出时尚豪门狗血大戏，行云流水，赏心悦目。演员们像在比赛谁的意大利口音更夸张，谁的表演更用力，但是是完美的结合了这个电影的风格的那种用力，结合了80的时尚，80的音乐，非常有沉浸感。gaga让我相信了她是表演艺术家，然后我终于get到了adam driver充满雄性荷尔蒙的魅力，all thanks to the Ridley Scott treatment.
高贵上流阶层的行业精英商贾都爱这种心机婊子灰姑娘逆袭的上位的狗血爱情故事，那我是土狗，我爱看狗血偶像剧又情有可原了。
有多少期待就有多大的失望，故事怎么做到如此拖拉不堪？
豪门渣男打着发妻的名号做了坏事之后，想离婚却被反杀的流水账故事。为爱开心，婚礼现场，为爱开心，孩子出生，父亲生病，父亲死亡………都是带动画的ppt效果翻页
我觉得还可以，虽然确实冗长平淡，但也把一个故事讲完整了。
看完看评论才知道女主是gaga，真的好市侩啊，没搞明白毛利怎么会入了她的套
故事的精彩程度并没有被平铺直叙的剧情拖累，古驰家族的没落史拍得相对委婉，人物塑造也比真实中的“败家”、“拜金”来的多维、饱满。更别说 Gaga 和 Adam Driver 奉献如此精彩的演技，唯一不足就是有些情节跳转过快，割裂感严重 @AMC Waterfront 22
剧情有点平淡，时长过长，节奏也慢，像流水账没有高潮。
