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".
我真是烦死男女主了！一部比一部难看。。。要不是为了德古拉我才不会看到第四部(◦`~´◦)
这个系列一直很欢乐，very very good~haha~
一个核心点讲四遍也是可以。第一部的时候的德古拉就不接受约翰尼，到了第四部孙子都有了，新老婆都有了还不能接受。除了一如既往的合家欢式笑点，精灵旅社走到第四部也确实该结束了。再拍下去也没什么可以继续挖掘的了，不如见好就收。
家长就真的不知道演了些啥，略显敷衍了
角色对换一下，系列里这部最有意思，以后应该不会再看了哈哈
我在只看过第一部，完全没看过第二部和第三部的情况下，看第四部也没有任何障碍。非常轻松愉快的甜点电影，这部完全是公路冒险片，谈不上有什么特别有创意的情节，就是没头脑和不高兴在路上的“老”梗，但依然是有用的。在这个让人五味杂陈的小长假伊始，在电影院放松2小时，实在划算得很。
因故，在影院看了半部。
好沉重的故事…但是挺喜欢的，喜欢这种复杂性。西岛叔含泪的眼神，香川叔肯定地说会帮助エリ，以及松本润天真又执拗地望向天空的时候……太多的瞬间我都很喜欢。这个戏的节奏不是所有人都能接受，但认识他起已经第7个年头，在不变也在成长，谢谢（确实不像电影倒是真的hh）
假High/谐音梗大放送时场面一度安静好尴尬/杉咲花很可爱/奈奈出场时tension一下高了起来但救不回老梗烂谜底/（木村文乃不太讨喜🤔
2022年7月16日观看。镜头切换太快了。
真的超级棒 不枉费我清晨八点半爬起来去影院赶上最后一天最后一场的放映 一二部都是巅峰 第三部拉胯 期待值本来不大 只是抱着情怀圆满去的 结果意外好看 超级棒！重回巅峰！
我以为是我记错了，adam确实没配第4部德古拉，1到4水准差太远，不看又难受就是因为系列开篇太好了。
亚当·桑德勒都不再配德库拉了，这个系列也就不该继续有下文了。
感觉周围的人都在插科打诨，只有小花认真在帮男主查案orz，经过先行SP的磨合，两个人的相性确实越来越好了。有点烦深山没完没了的谐音梗冷笑话了。阿啾戏份好少😓。“伪反派”西岛叔在意料之中，是有错误期待的我不好……nana和文乃的客串可有可无，没什么意思。
西岛秀俊，没有你我怎么活啊😢😢（滚 案件好无聊，浪费我岛叔了（也没有） 香西的对手戏还是可以嗑上一小阵补充一下糖库（够 彩珠妹妹多演一些活泼可爱的jk呀～
看完小朋友说：①强尼变大龙后好可怕啊，是恐怖片啊——和魔丸哪吒不是一个路数？②情节太简单了，没有《坏蛋联盟》好看——不愧是读《猫武士》的人，内容审美已经提高了好几个段位了呀！
这个案子看得好无语…南云律师竟然不是大反派我不同意！
松本润一脸尬笑已经挺尴尬了，杉咲花还当个宝故意去学，两人演技还没有道枝骏佑自然。荣仓奈奈，木村文乃骗情怀片末就打了个酱油。剧情悬疑还不如柯南。
2022.1.30一刷。4.4影院二刷。
这部电影看上去，好像女儿去美国留学后，美带回一个美国女婿，英国爹开始抓狂。德古拉满口英式英语，听的我好欢乐。
