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".
泛起了很多回忆的一晚，回想起来也影响了当年从北京来上海，觉得在大城市里有朋友也不会孤独会很好的；（他们现实中不会是常联系的，也不见得多close，没关系）
还没完整的看完呢！但仅仅只是看到几个片段我就想打五⭐，那十年简直是最美好的十年，老友记也是唯一一部不管隔了多久不管看了多少遍都还是能让我再次捧腹大笑的美剧。啊，看完了重聚特辑我这又开始重温了～
该说什么好呢 那就祝你终于长大了吧 恭喜你终于与过去说再见了吧
20210530 温情与感动之外，片中最令人意外的或许是那一段讲述老友记在全球影响力的视频，配合NYT关于这部剧对于英语在全世界推广和影响的报道，完全可以将其看作是后冷战的第一个电视现代神话，它不仅提供了一套关于理想的城市生活的格式和语码，英语的标准口音，同时也将sitcom这种形式推广到世界各地——不仅规训着笑/幽默的发生，也将美国生活想象和显示为一个无阶级、无政治的永恒循环空间。
Joy居然胖了这么多，堪比雷神啊哈哈哈。难道是容貌焦虑吗？我看三个女主的时候都在关注下颌线法令纹。。。
其实笑料都是之前的片段，这个东西的作用可能是吸引一些千禧年后的人去看这部剧吧，整个情怀牌太烂了，我们真的对那些非该剧的“名人”nbcs ok？只是柯妮特那句“但这是我们最后一次六人齐聚，接受与此剧相关的访问，我们不会十五年后再来一次”让我又经历了最后一集的失落
自尊心最强的她与过去做了和解，她渴望获得救赎，而那个胆小的他这回拯救了她.两人也终于相互坦诚说出了对彼此的感情.
不再逃避那些悲伤 不再放弃那些责任
庵野老贼说eva真的彻底结束了，我的年龄也从十二三岁到了三十六七。然而补完之路还任重道远。。
情怀特辑，只能4星推荐了[哈哈]其实整个Reunion组织得不够好，不如W&G聚首集惊艳、直接带来两季回归；主持人和现场互动也一般，没有挖出更多幕后故事（罗瑞曾经暧昧除外），但架不住这么多熟悉的脸孔重聚在一起啊，够好哭的了。17年了，6人都显老了，3女身材都保持不错，3男各有各的臃肿。菲比脸保持最好（当然不能特写），乔伊也因为胖反而比较正常，其他人脸崩的崩僵的僵、罗斯脸明显垮掉下去了。所以医美也救不了美女。回来不少配角，但一直期待、唯一仍在一线的麦克最终没来，看来蚁人太火了！莫妮卡瑞秋的新剧都没立住，钱德勒浮浮沉沉在《傲妻》系列。。。还是重温老友记吧～
当美好的事物告一段落，总会令人感到伤感。但美好的事物曾经有过也未尝不是一种力量。
Last night in my apartment packing as I watch the 6 of them exit the scene.. thank you for the company.
一个90后跟我说，friends是不是美国版的《爱情公寓》🌚🌚🌚🌚🌚
赞同Monica对RR戏外crush的态度，rps对于长篇作品未必是好事。“我们把对彼此的感情倾注在Ross & Rachel角色身上”感谢两位如此温柔又理智的处理方式，17年后大家仍能相对而坐笑笑闹闹追忆似水年华——还是好朋友，比爱人长久
相对与真心为你悲壮压抑的结局，新剧场版的结局也太温柔了吧。每个人都找到了归宿，他们不再是困在eva里的孩子啦，他们长大了，不需要eva啦。
其实我也特别怕看花絮和戏外采访，它会提醒我“老友记”是扮演的，但是真的太想看他们了，这不仅仅是他们的历史，也是我的大学时代啊，泪目！！！！干，我快要30岁了！！！
Thanks! And I love you very much as well!!!
六个人当中莫妮卡保持的状态最好（当然是有打针和医美的），瑞秋看起来状态不错但其实有呈现出一点点老人肥，菲比是六个人当中最自然的，虽然很容易看得出年龄，但却是令人舒服的那种。相比起努力保持的女生们，男生们状态就差得太多了，罗斯肉毒杆菌打得太明显了，钱德勒看起来饮食无度，只有乔伊算是比较自然状态下的与年龄相符，但可以看得出来，总的来说，在外形上女演员比男演员压力要大得多。
不管是往前推亿万年，还是往后推亿万年， Friends都依旧是地球文明能够诞生出的最棒的果实之一。请务必都一定一定要长命百岁。💧💧💧💧💧💧
－是啊，听说它曾经风靡一时。
