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".
好的地方真的好，迷的地方真的迷。。。跟天气之子差不太多吧。。。
最近爱看恶俗…故事虽然老套…但是画面美音乐美就够了！！
叙事节奏稀烂，设定毫无新意，杂七杂八的噱头加了一堆，故事内核就是人鱼公主。wit studio展现的作画也就那样，和巨人差远了。泡泡多的场景搞得像精神污染一样不说，还经常动不动就放人物定格大特写，我是来看动画的还是来看精美壁纸的？音乐不谈了，高潮部分的音乐完全没有心情去关注，因为剧情已经尬得我头皮发麻，贯穿全剧的那个阴间歌调听得我想吐。之前有人说集结这么多业界大佬做出来的只会是烂片我还不信，现在看来真是高瞻远瞩。
荒木哲郎 小畑健 泽野弘之 虚渊玄 大家一起用爱发电。。。
初中言情小说顶配动画化是不是就差不多这个待遇反正也不知道为啥也不知道在干啥但总之就是我们的小恩爱要对抗这个大世界的灾难全片洋溢着“我们是糖，甜到忧伤”的别扭情愫和一键快进到王子公主相爱的最小说式言情。奇妙的末世废土设定和追求极限的运动少年让故事的确建基在一个聪明而瑰丽的底座上，但这百万作画和分镜再叠上泽野buff就叠出来这么一个言情小说实在是浪费啊浪费
技术力是有了，作画很漂亮，但就是一点也喜欢不起来。很多看了像吃苍蝇一样的桥段，看内核的话根本就是落后于时代的作品。
后半段太着急了，导致整段垮掉。而设定方面，居然在一开始出泡沫的时候我就猜到是美人鱼公主的故事（的倒叙）。
没惊喜，会觉得是因为跳脱出了一切的类型，却还在套路之中，所以不讨好.
确定故事脱胎于人鱼公主之后，真的很期待有一个独特的结局。但没有，虚渊玄你好狠（贬义）确实是有点中二了。我还是更喜欢共乘海浪之上（毫无可比性）
画面精美，故事稀烂，新海诚后继有人，监督你真的指导过那些鼎鼎有名的禁番么？话说这是什么外星泡泡公主爱上人类跑酷王子的21世纪人鱼公主故事，还要让世界一起见证你们之间的畸形的爱恋，逻辑经不起推敲，情感转变突兀，东京真是多灾多难啊！科学家妹子表示：我是谁？我在哪？我要干嘛？无脑就vans了。多一星给制作吧，制作组你们辛苦了，要对这样的故事负责。
我本是天地造化，
后半段太着急了，导致整段垮掉。而设定方面，居然在一开始出泡沫的时候我就猜到是美人鱼公主的故事（的倒叙）。
日本沉没2022…
虽然故事彻底没有说服力，但运镜和末日东京的设定好美
画面美是美....这跑完少条胳膊怎么半天发现不了！？
凄凉却美丽的末世，丑陋的人类。倒也不是烂，就是无聊，无聊死了。
一开始让我想起一个古早游戏兔子跳铃铛，看完我想说：剧情俗套老土无聊+设定乱七八糟+全程光污染+过度密集的泡泡十分恶心像癌细胞，长在身上脸上更是让我生理不适… 画得很美，下次别画了。
对了对了，还有我总结的剧情简介：我与小伙伴在宇宙中心，末日东京泡泡领域玩跑酷。
沒來由的起泡，然後破滅，再美麗也都是徒然。而我很討厭小美人魚的故事。
作画绚丽，动作流畅。红色泡泡的“愤怒”似乎是后期加入，蓝色泡泡的“拯救”要伴随牺牲。
