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".
老体制内了，格林德沃这么牛逼，还要在乎统治世界是否流程合规
你要完全没看过原著和电影，会说这什么破玩意，你要是原著和系列电影都看过了，会说这什么破玩意……
这甚至不像是一个人能说出来的话。
后半段升华了，伦理困境，看似圆满解决，但终究不代表合理合法，婴儿不是玩具，只是说明生者养者为母非亲生也可为母，后续的成长得不到保障就不会这么圆满了，这种风险最后都由弱者和其所处的社会承担。
“他是gay”
麦斯米科尔森演反派已经能让我忽略这部电影所有的缺点
女主儿子成长的那一段音乐非常好听,就是不知道歌名是什么。
阿三在民生题材这块拿捏得死死的，上次的代考，司法腐败，越敏感越敢拍，包括这次选择的代孕。大致思路其实很好猜，无非就是代孕父母不肯还孩子，亲生父母不肯要，结果两个结果都有，在美国父母放弃孩子后一度担心拉胯，幸好最后圆了回来，尽管有些牵强，但是看着印度妈妈带着金发白小孩，美国父母领养印度女孩，只能佩服阿三想象力的丰富，不过老实说女主的表演绝对OK，控制身材相当有说服力，值得推荐！！
在Netflix上看了这部电影，哭得我稀里哗啦的。整体就是又搞笑，又治愈。感觉女主一家、闺蜜、和司机一家都好可爱好温暖啊。结局很温暖，就算是BE我觉得也是部好电影。拍出了人性的自私和冷漠，summer无敌傻b，知道有问题就逃跑，发现没问题又厚着脸皮屁颠屁颠回来！Mimi身边有这么多人支持她，帮助她，并不是所有人都能拥有这种结局的。反对代孕，反对弃养。
虽然有人说电影不够深刻，不过是我喜欢的结局
代孕是敏感话题吧，印度代孕合法？一如既往有印度歌舞。
“开头GGAD的对视，中间一闪而过的魁地奇以及最后Tina的登场”，全片唯三让人提起点精神的时刻，总计5分钟不到。剩下的，一半时间在犯困一半时间在翻白眼，搞出这么一个充满bug的无聊故事+把格林德沃写成个傻子，你们的良心不会痛吗？然后，把这片拍到两个小时以上简直是在犯罪（本来想给最后一场戏额外加点分，后来想想还是算了…）
麦叔演技太好了，太适合演反派了，下车去人群中感受欢呼那段我真的大呼带感，开头结尾ggad也嗑死我了，因为麦叔我真的喜欢第三部甚至超过第一部！！！ 最后十分钟真的很虐，我不由地想起在看哈利波特时候魔法世界的历史，邓布利多最伟大的成就，战胜格林德沃。阿不思啊，真的好孤独啊。
无聊的夏日午后，手捧pad克服困倦聚精会神从看到尾的影片，有被惊艳到！故事中每一次反转，每一个镜头的承接都很讲究；每一个人物都很有看头，值得玩味。影片中有句话大概是这样：每个人的人生都是一条奔腾的暗河，任凭你怎样努力，都不可能在最美好的时候停住…把刑侦片拍成文艺片，文艺片拍的悬疑感十足，很是佩服！
但是最后孩子的基因父母领养了一个孤儿院的小孩。“生的孩子不是自己的，也可以做父母;孩子不是自己生的，也可以做父母”
本质上其实是一个聊「什么是母亲」的故事，老实说，我还挺喜欢的。但是这个底，我一直以为他的底会落到她们仨打官司，法院把孩子判给咪咪，然后三个人一起养，但没想到这俩美国人竟然领养了一个印度小姑娘。太贼了，这要是将来两家还有来往，这俩孩子约等于青梅竹马，回头走到一起了，这孩子不还是那个萨莫的嘛？等于说，自己的儿子不自己养，完了结婚再倒插门回去？你们美国人怎么这么混蛋？
丢掉的粉盒，哎。
长达两个多小时的GGAD离婚故事。协商离婚未遂，冷静期分别暴走。邓布利多你个渣男。
这是什么美印建交电影吗？这稀烂敷衍的结尾…哪怕让把拉杰带回美国后因为太想米米不忍心拉杰难过送回米米身边我也能容忍，直接半路捡了个女鹅皆大欢喜 无语😓
这根本没吸取多少上一部口碑崩坏的教训啊，还是又拖沓又无趣，系列都第三部了，看着这一群新角色依然无感，唯一的改进是神奇动物更有作用地出场减少了单纯的展现。大卫叶茨导了7部已然枯竭，让他下课吧！另外让德普回来吧！上部还有德普的反派魅力撑着，这部麦叔演的格林德沃差太远了吧，完全被碾压。
