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".
给个四分吧，主要是歌都太熟了，基本也猜到故事情节了，我觉得这确实是一部可能音乐剧效果会大于电影的作品（虽然没有看过音乐剧），是觉得剧情上还是分镜上，电影做的其实都非常的粗糙，zoe和evan唱歌那一段我真的，这首歌毁了反正，太尴尬了，还剪辑各种旋转木马。现场就真的唱歌就好了，我觉得这样渲染感情不会太过。anyway，冲着这里面这些歌我还是要打四分
2019年那个寒假，靠着暖气片呜呜地哭，没想到已经过了这么久，换了个城市哭。
2DEH非常不适合改变电影。原剧剧本就有问题：设定不错但剧情不行，只是快速的切歌节奏让观众忽视了剧本和角色的空洞。Platt的角色其实很荒谬(和摩门经里一样)，没法深度刻画。
问题很多，做为一部音乐剧电影，它显然是不合格的，大部分演员的唱段都很糟糕（歌曲本身的内容我是认可的，但是不知道怎么回事唱的都不太好）。导演对于音乐歌舞画面的整体把握也很差
1.降低预期后观感还行，毕竟珠玉在前，小本DEH唯一真神不接受其他人演。
看到evan和妹妹在一起就关了，真没必要
并不成功的翻拍和改编……时长增加了，歌曲、台词、剧情却都删减了，又没觉得实际上丰富了什么，节奏还变得非常拖沓，人物之间的关系、冲突也变混乱了。不知道导演是怎么做到的………
是少有的让我能有这么强的代入感的剧情。妈妈的独白，让我想到了陪伴。记得有一次做梦梦到我妈。我在远处看到她的时候，立刻展开笑容，大声喊了一句“妈！”然后冲过去抱着她，大声说着“我好想你！”话音刚落我就醒了，眼角带着泪。后来打电话给我妈告诉她这个事情，她说她会一直在，随时打个视频就能看到了，不要害怕。
3.新歌《The anonymous ones》《A litter closer》已加入歌单。
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。

2022.6.5 飞机上..Conner的声音真的好像原卡 Ben实在是有点老了…但不管什么时候看还是很感动的Dear Evan Hensen！！！
感觉有点啰嗦？而且he looks too old for a high schooler? 不过message是好的吧……感觉更适合broadway
当很多人说自己被Connor的故事找到后，Connor作为一个个体却在这个discourse里消失，这是电影里让我觉得最讽刺的一幕。
虽然已经过了Evan的年龄 但是依旧是很虐心
高分音乐剧，改编成这样，评分还日渐下滑，也是真行呵！
在刷了很多遍音乐剧后重看，五分钟都看不下去，确实理解为什么有那么多人失望了。。。
歌曲插入很违和，情绪渲染、人物塑造都不如舞台剧
守着秘密，保持匿名——我一直以为是每个人都会习惯的身份。Do I have friends? Are they really my friends? Do I even need friends? What can I do for them? What them can do for me? Would it make any difference? Why bother?
