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".
为了节奏，逻辑就可以如此生硬，做工也过于流水线了，图一乐呵吧。
人总会对那些黑暗时刻的自己所遇到的人和事纠结内耗，可能真的是一辈子无法和解，又不是每个人会像哈福特这么幸运，但是到最后就是一个想活下来，想原谅自己的普通人罢了。
两星不能更多，2个小时分开看还是能给我讲睡着了。故事三条线，集中营线闪回，可以看出男主角的集中营生活很是受精神折磨。女友线是现实线的主要成因，历经多年，还是没有达成初恋。故事前半段还算一般，后半段简直惨不忍睹。没有简介里说的好看。
动画片都有低谷和结尾的高潮，哈哈，套路得很但很减压
看的心里极不舒服，虽然是根据纳粹的残暴史，本该愤怒，但看心里堵的慌。
挺好 虽然中心思想依然俗套依然类型片 但是角色设计不错 有点意思
女儿接替失踪的父亲，怪兽儿子接替同时失踪的冠军怪兽，赢得冠军，保住体育场！
海天一线的黑白格调，苏格兰特有的格子情怀，独自行走的贵族少年，张开双臂感受风的自由。
很清水的合家欢鸡汤片。
轻松的一部剧，原名我理解应该是归类的爱。我看到的主题是对自我的勇敢，去感受外界，去爱和表达，去选择并勇敢面对。母子两通过“归类”软件在酒吧尴尬相遇，他两轻松自然，坦诚直白的表达内心想法。这就是缘，儿子身上有自己丈夫的特质。泰勒则通过软件共鸣，认识到一位女性心脏医生并与之相处，这打破了她异性恋的意识。我很开心于看到这些追求自我表达的人们！说不定就是山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。
浪费了很好的故事和剧本，拍得不行，想玩技巧可惜玩坏了，把故事排得、剪辑太零碎！
个人竞技主题看似简单直接，想写好实则困难重重，难点正在于要在有限时间里很快体现主角的成长、淘汰赛丰富的对手、以及竞技之外的剧情。没落与复兴、背叛与复仇、舞蹈与摔跤、怪兽与女孩、父与子……这本来是个能写得非常深刻严肃的故事（哪怕是通过诙谐的方式）。但无论是怪兽生态、怪兽多样性、技能多样性、主角团遇到的磨难、反派的实力等，都远未达到预期。老实说只有章鱼触手、羽蛇神（龙）、相扑怪有点新鲜感。倒是质感十足的怪兽们做成手办或搪胶模型应该不错。整个故事适合改个PVP互动游戏。

城市，运动，球队，这就是西方体育文化的剪映吧。
尽量文明的评论：辣眼睛。单线条的叙事，故事设计老套，毫无悬念，逻辑糟糕。顶级教练的女儿，轻而易举的成了顶级教练；顶级怪兽的儿子，轻而易举的拿到金腰带，双双走上人生巅峰。天生神力？遇到困难，念几句心灵鸡汤，然后就被克服了。全市居民都围着这两个“后代”欢呼、雀跃。众星拱月一般跟在主角后面从一个成功，走向下一个成功。我打开头就知道你们会成功，但别成功的这么“理直气壮”、“摧枯拉朽”好吧？整部片子一丁点的悬念都没有，直到最后一秒结束。
强行励志，强行煽情，套路老套，中间一度看得要睡着了，一个小时还没进入高潮，结尾又戛然而止。一直以为金博和雷本会回来，但最后也没交代他俩的去向。
剧本老套单一了~没啥悬念伏笔~纯粹是挑战自我的鸡汤了~感觉就是把人类摔跤换成了怪兽~
活在光环之下，我们依旧是我们自己
儿子自己找到动画，和儿子一起看完的爆米花电影！
在成长过程中
