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".
比起“道山靓仔”阿娟阿猫阿狗的成长，更打动我的其实是“阿珍爱上了阿强”（并为此写了一篇长评）。
阿娟奋力一跃，他掉入了水里，但把狮头留在了擎天柱上。我们的梦想和热情，即使因现实的引力怦然落地，也因永不遗忘而可贵。
捡周星驰剩下的做剧情，尬到头皮发麻。留守儿童、真实中国的样貌，也不过是拿来作戏的佐料，跟五月天mv拍的没多大差，况且那彩霞啦、朝阳啦，动不动来的励志歌，又是涂了多少层滤镜？最后那彩蛋的一点现实意义也值得大夸特夸？听到喊咸鱼，留意片尾字幕，这不是曾中途退场的“燃野”编剧吗！给失败的角色编职业只会编卖咸鱼的。
但这不妨碍探究一件事物本源的勇气和耐心，
编剧该给美术磕个头，美术该给配音磕个头，配音该给原声磕个头。刻意的人设与前半段的低俗剧情太赶客。
编剧的烂梗是真的尬住，剧情老套，但是探讨的阶级/梦想之议题值得鼓励
感觉完全就是九连真人那首莫欺少年穷的电影版，表现出乡村少年的困顿现实和雄心壮志。
一气呵成！那些鱼塘、骑楼、木棉，可太让人感到亲切了。当然了，还有特别广式的土土的幽默梗。
梦想的队伍有人离去，其他队员和教练在人员不再齐整的情况下都还沉浸在继续中，把离开的队员的梦想当做自己最重要的事去完成，反正这种羁绊我是不大信
一切阴霾都会过去
尬尬的，但还行。像拍动物一样拍人类，钢筋水泥做的森林并不只存在于2005年。
自信点，眼睛没问题，小点能怎么了。
事实证明 只要用心写剧本 没有哪吒悟空姜子牙 我们国人照样能拍出一流的热血励志番
1、精准的周星驰式无厘头笑点，生活的艰辛与梦想的热血碰撞的经典剧情，精致流畅的作画和镜头调度，极具特色又恰如其分的配乐。在一个相当俗套的故事下把一切都做到了几乎完美。
有《雄狮少年》，乃中国动画电影的幸事，其令业界重新抖擞的功劳，不亚于投石问路的《大圣归来》和引资成功的《哪吒》。从今以后，中国动画电影有了比肩《大闹天宫》《宝莲灯》《天书奇谭》的新标杆
三星半。最后的越过最高的高山完成一个不可能完成的奇迹无疑是整个电影最高光时刻，彩蛋的出现更是打破了我们熟知的咸鱼翻身的套路感。舞狮的画面设计是真的好看。尽管如此我依旧不喜欢前面空洞的口号和能够预知到的剧情走向，人物（师父等）也挺单薄，阿娟开始学习舞狮的动机也立不住。倒是男女阿娟的设定挺有意思，放弃舞狮的原因不同折射我们看得到的阶层差异。当然当然，希望最终雄狮少年能干掉陈思诚这个抄袭怪。BTW除了应该有的版权费请导演再给九连真人打钱。7.5/10
没有过合练，哪里来的默契赢得了冠军，这是最离了大谱的一点。能不能越过高山，貌似是取决狮尾的臂力，而不是狮头的跳跃
果然人还是容易被梦想信念奇迹这种虚无的假大空的东西感动 虽然我都猜到结局了可还是被那头雄狮点燃了 上一次看里则林还是在中学的时候 时隔这么多年还是被打动了 画面流畅配乐满分镜头语言相当丰富 实打实的诚意之作 2021华语十佳当之无愧
1.久违的国漫黑马之作，追梦少年的赤诚与坚守真的让人热血沸腾。2.导演敢于以地域性的舞狮文化为动画题材已实属难得；对留守儿童和弱势群体的守护，更让我们看到创作者的真挚之心。3.最后舞狮大赛的高潮时刻层层递进，让我们相信，励志的光芒永远都能鼓舞着少年们勇敢前行。哪怕你是别人口中的“病猫、瘦猴、肥猪”，但当梦想的聚光灯照亮内心的那一刻，就会有奇迹发生。
爆赞！鼓点锵锵犹在心上。老阿姨泪流满面～立意高而不虚，结构明确疏朗，节奏紧凑无滞。人物造型略僵硬，但场景创意和表现无可挑剔，不乏细节考究。有套路，更有突破。国漫雄起，虎虎生威！
