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".
“我不是篮球队的，我是足球队的，妈”
非常黑色，剧情不错，但是不太喜欢这样的书生气，可能应该更市井气一点的行为和语言，结尾也有点为了满意而满意……
苏神微博推荐过来的，故事很感人很励志！希望大家关注下正在举行的东京残奥会！
利用信息差，利用剪切，就是不太厚道的悬疑，看着懊悔
脉脉温情，陪伴成长，爱永远充满魔力和奇迹。
逻辑成了闭环。范伟和张颂文演技值了电影票。张颂文是不是已经成了电影质保员？他参与的片子，就算烂的，也能拉回来点东西
果然與預期一樣，有好幾處都忍不住眼淚，可能是因為真人真事的緣故，真的很難不受觸動。沒想到少年演員與青年演員都一樣那麼出色，演得太好了，媽媽也是，真實到讓人都以為他們就是本人。同工同酬、弟弟受冷落發脾氣、做了奧運冠軍家庭條件依然困難、出去做快遞員比人鬧、特殊小孩的特殊成長歷程、如何做一名普通人、媽媽那些或許錯誤的選擇與無條件的付出，都是從很小的細節中表達出不服輸的拼搏精神。殘疾人真的太不容易了，殘疾人的家庭也太不容易了，致敬所有用心努力生活的人。
就不说电影怎么样吧。北京已经举行过夏季和冬季两届残奥会了，但残障人士出行有变得容易一点吗？？？无障碍设施有任何一点进步了吗？？？
挺好的，全程氛围感十足，一部被低估的院线电影。
分别饰演男主的三个不同阶段的演员，演技确实令人折服，很容易把人带入情境中
煽情有点刻意。男主演残障的确值一个提名。还是能关注现实的，给个四星鼓励。
疯狂的石头屋内版，原本是一个相当简单的故事，但改变一下叙事的角度完全不一样，悬念感十足。
很不错的体育电影，聚焦残疾人运动员完成的很好。
国产黑色犯罪悬疑喜剧是内地院线并不常见的类型之一，本片采用剧本杀式的设定，将舞台设置在一所老宅之内，主演阵容也颇让人期待，拥有小成本爆款的潜质。影片的叙事手法和CULT风格多少致敬盖里奇、昆汀和诺兰等一众鬼才，剥洋葱似的闪回、层出不穷的反转，让真相拼图在观众面前逐步成型又不断推倒重来。作为处女长片，整体完成度值得加半星鼓励，期待曾经跑得贼快（？）的导演带来更多的惊喜之作。
题目是妈妈的神奇小子，其实内容是神奇小子的妈妈。
“多吃牛肉”！“同工同酬”！
当你看到后面得知生意是指贩卖儿童时，再回过头来看张总叫老李（范伟）把生意告诉马明亮那段，你会觉得很无语，这种事是可以开玩笑的吗？
范伟和窦骁还挺有cp感，尤其是每次时间定格的时候。但看完之后感觉惊喜度还是不够大。有些地方的逻辑感觉不太顺，不知道是我的问题还是电影的问题。
总之看的时候觉得编剧真是个人才啊！回去关注起来，片尾字幕出来我人傻了导演编剧都是一个人，甚至他还是摄影指导，兼任三职！刘翔导演牛[赞][赞][赞][/cp]
还算不错的传记片 有些地方还是挺感人 但趋于平淡 对于残奥冠军后来的生活只字未提 展现了生活的不易 但始终不知出路在哪 很多人穷其一生也没有找到为之热爱的事情 看到对于跑步的激情和热忱 真是一件令人羡慕的事情
