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".
7.0分（其中有0.5是鼓励分）。如果我们连一个创作者按照自己所想来设计人物的自由都不给，那我们还要什么电影。如果你觉得片中有一个角色眯眯眼宽眼距就是创作者辱华，就要从他的履历中挖证据证明他居心叵测，那你真的好自卑、好可怜，因为这个世界上的每个人都可能是你的敌人，都在谋划着害你。如果你不觉得这样的非网文改编、非神话传说改编，而是基于传统文化的现实题材纯原创的热血又平凡的故事是鲜活动人的、值得鼓励的，那我们活该看一辈子的样板戏。
看的广东话版，果然更接地气些，虽然故事都是范式，咸鱼翻身也有星爷的影子，但这股不认命的劲儿还是很感人的，尤其阿娟去广东打工尝尽冷暖再来参加舞狮大赛就更燃，感谢电影里上演的奇迹鼓励着现实中的人，五条人和九连真人的插曲都很好。
"阿珍爱上了阿强 在一个有星星的夜晚"的旋律😂
四星半。如果说对待国产动画，之前我们还处于种种原因沿用着和国际动画不同的评价标准，那么《雄狮少年》之后，这个标准可以统一了（也从侧面印证出周星驰在不同时代具有多么旺盛的生命力）。
同样珍贵的是，故事的最后，他们的命运没有因此改写。
一直偏好的水墨写意风，竟然在片头就惊现，对正片既有了期待也有一丝怀疑。当一只写实的猫跳到正片的脚踏车少年视角后，逐步被剧情牵动了，无论是场景还是配乐等细节，都透着浓郁的南粤之风，简单的嬉笑怒骂，泪流得稀里哗啦。即使反派的恶意有些脸谱化，贫困落后的窘境也许要退回几年才不觉浮夸，但终归是超出预期的燃呀！
每次觉得马上就要落入大俗套白眼快翻起来的时候，就稍微跳脱出俗套来给我续命。
值得肯定，值得去电影院一看。没有炫酷魔幻盛大的场面，聚焦到人的理想与现实的处境本身，再结合舞狮文化的科普，更亲切了。现实风格的画风在理想和现实中来回穿插，极美的农村景象和暗沉的城市空间塑造，用“农村”与“城市”的差距与对比引导观众思考。同时又没有把“阿娟”的人物塑造的有多么的“特殊”，他就是在城市里辛勤工作的其中一个，没有刻意营造他有多么“惨”，反倒是以小见大的囊括了所有为了生活而忙碌的人们，在天台的那一场“聆听心中鼓点”的戏镜头给到广州市井生活忙碌的早晨的群像，就很好的表达了这一点。在“燃漫”的基本套路上结合中华传统文化，剧本细节处理上十分细腻得当，丰富的内涵点到而止，人物设计得都很好。结尾收得极好，爽快不拖沓，不刻意煽情，也没有主角光环。彩蛋到上海来了，期待下一部在魔都会有何风雨。
真的不要随便出来个国漫就说是希望…因为之前在网上掀起的争议和身边诸多好友的推荐，秉着平和的心态去看，看完的感受是：脸谱化不是最严重的问题，虽然这个形象我也确实觉得导演跟广东人有仇，电影最大的问题在于过于密集的情感宣泄和喊口号式的空白燃点，比如主角三个人小时候到底经历了什么会一直被人欺负？毫无理由强加被欺压的戏份真的很难让人共情，然后既然师傅年轻的时候都能达到“狮王”的成就，而舞狮这一行业又没有完全消失，陈家村专业舞狮队也靠这个活得挺好，他们老大还养着个女儿，那为什么师傅就必须要因为养家糊口放弃？“狮王”不是应该赚的更多？以及我实在无法站边主角一行人，人家专业舞狮队练了好几十年，你们三才练几个月，而且阿娟后来出去打工还一直没练过，最后博得头彩？这要放现实生活中被人怀疑有黑幕的程度好吗
金刚狼引领着，病猫，瘦猴，肥猪所组成的咸鱼队，在一场绝·美的舞狮大赛中，大放异彩，技压群芳的励志故事。
没有“刻意”回避现实。点滴地方特色，村镇摩的，城市地铁，饮食到穿着、口音，甚至长相，很有心了。普通人就算在雄狮世界里赢了，回归现实仍然要进厂，相比“我命由我不由天”后的无言，这是更高超之处：同为阿娟，同为冠军，一个开车一个却在送货，然后呢？没有然后。之前取关一个豆黄，号称外卖晚到五分钟要投诉，自得的小布尔乔亚式撒娇。在巨大且无法弥补的鸿沟下，如缺乏最起码的人道关怀，闭嘴是最大的道德，而非把那点可怜的骄矜盘出包浆给别人看——我可是人上人。
听说广东仔眼睛都长这样...配合人教版教材做意识形态渗透？姓孙的，我祝你后代全长人教版数学书里那样
剧本好，明线为病猫成雄狮，暗线为留守儿童接力家庭重担，在沉重的工作中磨炼出坚毅的眼神和结实的肌肉这才比较符合现实。开头巷子里追逐长镜头好棒，天台独自舞狮的动作燃点与泪点好棒，各种农村与城市特色细节用心。人物形象设计属于写实。最后不管昨天是否拿到比赛冠军，明天还是得为生活奋斗。克制住了往“奇迹”虚幻靠，这点真的值得表扬。给满分但还是要说说不足，1.主角配音不太农村化，阿猫那种不咸不淡的才比较靠近真实。2.配乐太多了，虽说五条人和九连真人很符合但太满有点累。3.雄狮出现那一刻有泛白点，转得有些突兀。
恰是生活的艰辛里磨练出的英雄 最有创造奇迹的魄力 最近与学生的交谈中也深深感受到这一点。作为当代国产动漫里最现实主义的一部 那一点点故事上的瑕疵和它的乡土关注与正义关怀相比 真的微不足道了。只希望上海能善待阿娟们吧…
没想到，我会在一个《功夫》性质的港式喜剧中，看到了胡金铨、张彻、程小东、徐克至于如今徐浩峰共同具有又都在致力表现的武侠精神：尝酸知苦，依旧生活
人设眼睛距离都不提了，也许那些打五星的都长这副德行，十几天打败了别人十几年的努力，然后去搬砖，讽刺睡呢
都这样了还要啥自行车啊！谁还纠结眼睛大眼睛小啊！这还乳化吗！这分明就是太弘扬了吧！画法很欧洲，但是表现的东西很接地气，小商贩、广告牌、搪瓷杯…而且结局戛然而止也很好，没有过度煽情，一切都刚刚好，就这么一点不多一点不少。看完我直接烧起来了！ ps：阿珍老板娘好漂亮啊
前两幕也是套路满满，但到第三幕简直开了挂，感觉主创创作也是病猫变雄狮的过程。从经典港片中汲取了很多营养，尤其是那种很底层很现实主义的东西，它的成功或许比彩条屋和追光那些神怪和朋克来的更有意义。李白说过，祝你们成功！
标准的“孩子”成长为“大人”的故事，没有什么奇迹发生，happyending的结局背后，也铺垫了很多主人公们的努力和积累；最后一越更多的是勇气，每个人也继续回归了生活。有类似少年漫的燃、搞笑和中二，也有现实题材的落地，非常难得
每个平凡人的心中，都有一头猛兽，
