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".
1卡司烂。Ben Platt特写没法看。Jared本来是个犹太白人，这里是个阿三gay?Zoe原剧是CheerLeaderType，她爸是典型的白人Alpha形象，这里全部反之。Evan妈原卡唱功极强。黑妹本来是个讽刺角色，而且没有唱段。康纳原卡极帅，所以才让人特别共情。这里又丑唱功又差。
一个英语不怎么好但被迫看了无字幕原声➕没看过原作的音乐剧小白：很不错的校园青春剧，音乐质量特别好，但导演太偷懒了，完全照搬音乐剧形式，基本上每个情绪正要爆发的关键点，从对话无缝切换成歌曲，好像已经对好准星的手枪直接脱靶。Ben，声音一流，越往后越会感叹他声音的无可挑剔。但年龄或者说状态，实在是大问题，跟社恐少年比起来更像已经在职场上蹉跎了几年的社畜，不是畏缩更像是猥琐，保持不好自己的状态却硬要挑战年轻的角色实在是不负责任的行为。
要不是男主、词曲作家、导演都是宽街初版，会很容易让人误以为是买了音乐剧版版权之后的拙劣改编。实在是太令人失望了。只有音乐可以。
前半部分，我在生气死去的人凭什么要被诽谤？哪怕是往好了说。后半部分我在难过原来没人在意Evan也想过要自杀，只是没死成。所以这是哪门子的you will be found？ YOU WON'T.
怎么说比The Prom好吧（我发誓没有摩尔滤镜）
画面与节奏结合非常好甚至超出预期，但问题在于画面的非真实性，以及可视化效果没做好，人们心里已经有足够对于DAH的设想，而这版不足以满足
看之前刷豆瓣被评论吓到，但是看完不带私心可以打7分
看了一半看不下去了……音乐衔接很突兀 有点尴尬 决定还是再看一遍原版吧
三分给小本 Alana的新歌及人物塑造 Sincerely Me的片段（which对剧情无帮助 倒不如做彩蛋（bushi
虽然和《壁花少年》《奇迹男孩》一样关注身心有缺陷的人群，但是这个主角不讨人喜欢。
3星半。删了我觉得很重要的几首。但是我对歌曲故事太熟滤镜太重。看了免费的提前场也是有趣的体验
由于没有看过音乐剧版本的，所以对这部影片的打分只能综合音乐剧元素和电影元素。作为电影，有些片段实在有点尴尬，因为就是在干唱。但作为音乐剧，很能打，音乐性自不必说，整个剧情走向看到中段时我一度怀疑它是否要走向普通音乐剧的大结局忽略最主体的矛盾，还好最后Evan Hansen仍去面对了它。结局设置的很真实，自己埋下的谎言终究要自己去解决，自己内心的恐惧也要自己去面对。Dear Evan Hansen。
电影改编给原作大减分了
差点意思 没有演出舞台效果轰炸信息的感觉 真会有点plain 但是 还是值得4星 Alana 好好看
3音乐剧改电影，该加的是唱段，而不是台词。歌曲不变，台词暴增，纯属折磨。
也就那样，光看电影绝对想象不到这是拿托尼奖的音乐剧。。。
-
剧本和音乐完全可以掩盖住拍摄上的小问题！，虽然但是ben platt的造型敢不敢再难看一点
改编自曾获6项托尼奖音乐剧，探讨青少年抑郁症、自杀和社交网络等。但主创却照搬了大量原版唱段甚至舞台表演形式，没有合理转变成电影应有的视听语言，将说着说着话就唱歌的尴尬感无限放大，而与情节相关且更适合影视化表现的坦诚、私密而孤独的氛围也消失，令人遗憾。
前半部分优秀的无话可说 后半部分稍显拖沓 唱段和主题不太好抓 总体不错
