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".
改动挺大，原著是学渣哥哥逆袭，电影是学霸妹妹带学渣们逆袭。
白警察要把手搞黑才能办案，但会不会甘于黑暗而忘了初心，度的问题也是觉悟的问题
整体来说一般，世界不是非黑即白，灰色地带很多，不过大多数都是权衡利弊的产物
感动～为怀旧。想得到艺术的享受，还是要看老版动画《鲁西西奇遇记》。我国的美学教育真的是断层了……希望郑渊洁的IP可以有大资本介入，好好运作，而不再是家庭作坊。专业的事还是要专业的人来做。/满场小孩子，都看得特别投入，高声讨论、和银幕里人物对话
以恶制恶，剧情有点拖拉，节奏有点慢，其余的空空荡荡的，一直想装，但是没有装出B格来。
郑渊洁的故事虽然我不了解，但确实是我这一代人小时候会在广播上听的，电影中校园的氛围也很有九十年代的影子，包括那种水泥厕所，甚至老师说的一些话几乎都在重叠，有点感慨。虽然还是温情地处理，毫无疑问包含在背后的就是一个畸形的教育体系的黑暗。最后点出魔方大厦，又是另一个经典。
韩国真的牛逼 类型把玩成熟 另类的韩版“训练日”
看完电影记住了一个名字，于飞，本片编剧兼导演，非常非常出色！故事进行了大幅的改编，但是剧作非常扎实，把人物的成长轨迹设计精准合理，对节奏、情感、以及小演员们的表演把控很好，一些台词简直神来之笔，直顶你泪腺，或者让你反思，更难得的是把一个儿童片拍出了浪漫的味道！强烈推荐！
看了片名和简介很期待，结果导演是长久不拍电影忘记怎么拍了么？剧情混乱，节奏平淡，浪费题材和演员。
思考：守法办事的平庸官僚之辈与不顾一切抓坏人的真正警察，总感觉可以拍的更好的
没看过原版，但感觉这改编剧情就是高潮不起来
本片的90年代家庭/校园画风的还原度不亚于徐峥在鸭先知里对80年代的设计成果。 嘉木@亮马桥星典
可以预见的剧情，不太好记的人物名，但灰色地带的警察那种被诱惑和正义左右，被黑白两边误解猜忌，演得很好，这感觉就像ICAC查阿sir一样，有时只有加入坏人才能惩治更极恶之人吧。韩国人和HK还是挺感拍这种黑幕题材的，勇气可嘉。
虽然影像和情节有不少显得散乱的地方，不过整体依然是可爱的，小演员也都很努力，在一眼看上去就很假的特效面前呈现出了一种真。
剧情细节还是不太经得起推敲。
还可，有种哪哪都不行但尽力了的感觉。只是故事放现在，确实陈旧了。
走出电影院，小李说这是标准作文提纲，我说演上尉的小朋友长得真帅啊。我俩也各有收获，她学会说成绩不是好学生的唯一标准，我学会了装胃疼。
特效土土的，剧情尬尬的，转折硬硬的，但作为中国儿童文学大前辈郑渊洁老师，多少还是有不自觉原谅这一切的情感。我尽力了。
童话电影，但是适合大朋友小朋友一起看，不愧是郑渊洁...故事好看，有笑有泪，不突兀不说教；小朋友演技自然不出戏！！好看喜欢！
啊啊啊没想到，竟然真的非常好看！浓浓的8090怀旧风，想起了不少童年往事。强烈推荐给学校与家长们欣赏！归根结底还是“爱的教育”，其实无论家长还是老师，都只爱学习好的孩子（学习差的呢区别对待，甚至不配当孩子而且还要开除？），对教育的讽刺也是毫不含糊——只要把优等生与特差生调换一下位置，就会有重大发现！自从鲁西西蜕变成“差生”，从此交到了辣麽多的知心朋友。某种意义上，好学生和坏学生并不是拿成绩来划分的，难道朋友的生命安全还没有考试重要吗？世界上还有许多比成绩更重要的事情呢！更要教会孩子们学会爱（学会沟通交往），改编自郑渊洁同名童话（本尊还在彩蛋客串了一下），几位小主演都很赞（尤其几位可爱的罐头小人），金培达的配乐也不错，下雨天的电影院里都是熊爸虎妈和萌娃，还有孩子看哭了（包括我），特此纪念一下。
