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".
虽然和想象中的恐怖期待不同，也是别样的恐怖体验，就如同温子仁自己说的，不想让别人以为自己只会拍鬼屋驱魔，想尝试别的恐怖题材，本片即是温导的突破之作。
终于 看完了 是我最喜欢的两位霓虹国演员 感觉是nana演技最好的一部 但这不妨碍我觉得剧情只值三颗星…对绝症病人的心理描写有点太流于表面了吧 反正没触动到我
拍得太花哨太网红感了，温子仁玩得开心就好。看完觉得挺wtf的，但仔细一想，他的片都挺wtf的。
呜呜呜好哭好看。两人在清晨的迷雾里的画面太美了，nana的演技又惊艳到我了，明朗又脆弱。“能遇到自己爱的人，简直就是奇迹”。还要表白配乐～
先说说不足，剧情老套且薄弱，有硬伤，又或者说这不像是一部电影，更像是一部短片或者电视剧预告片的合集。最拉垮的一幕是男主和人在车站天桥向茉莉告白。但是，优点也很突出，全片的配乐和画面真的太绝了，质感拉满！！尤其主演是小松菜奈和坂口健太郎，还要啥自行车。更何况有两场戏骗到我眼泪了，整体7.3分，其中，配乐和画面+1.5分，演员+0.5分
不知道怎么评价比较好，但确实是个好电影。整个剧情都很平静没有大吵大闹，女主拯救了男主，男主也拯救了女主。女主死亡处理的很平静直接越过了死亡画面，女主终究是没能活到自己的小说出版
这倒计时开始的人生啊，因为爱的美好却易逝，不愿触碰，却又努力抓紧有关爱的一切。一段段美好时光删去，独留初见时的画面。因为你，我要努力活下去到最后一刻。
看公式书以为和花束恋爱差不多呢，期待值蛮高的…看完之后比较失望，画面很美，nana演技进步也很大，原本之前她的哭戏是不会共情的。but!!!!故事情节太平淡了吧，坂口完全接不住戏
剧情真心没什么好看的，日剧跑等等老套元素都没落下，而且一如既往的非常不贴近现实（别问我为什么这么说）但很矛盾的点在于我认为它还是值得一看，不管是电影本身的唯美程度还是ost还是电影中的dv镜头都美炸裂了…像一支加长mv//这种太惨的电影不好分割到底是侧重于爱情还是亲情，此片也出现了这种问题…全片演技最好得主黑木华，小松演技也有大进步，短发梦回近距离恋爱，完全没老不说还非常漂亮😭最后我想说坂口健太郎你退下吧，让人小夫妻两个演多好……
ost很好听 不过剧情就是野田洋次郎演过的 卫生间里的圣母像 女版

eemmm，确实没啥记忆点，但每一帧美如画，跟拍画报似的。
太失望了。两星半吧…给个面子三星。故事老套，配乐脱线，看的人关心不起来剧中人的生死…咱不是超英片，警察一边探案一边漫威式打屁说笑话真的太不合时宜了。这片甚至不能算恐怖片，我要想看把人打出骨头的超英片可以直接看守望者啊。
题材故事和滚蛋吧肿瘤君类似 故事简单 情节过渡也自然 （坂口小天使实在是太可爱了）

故事有一丢丢老套，但是该哭的地方还是会哭到泣不成声！Nana太美啦！画面也都太美了……但是为什么美好都像是幻灯片一样快速切换，比起大手笔地去营造悲伤的氛围，我真的很想看他们的很多小细节哇……（不如拍成电视剧？
上一次看的纯爱还是恋空。一直，好好活下去吧，和人
多一星给小松老婆！等老婆这一部等了好久，满怀期待，只能说多少失望了，不过老婆的电影基本上……这个阵容，相当豪华，最后电影结尾音乐一响，鸡皮疙瘩都起来，不愧有钱啊！但是你对得起吗……这……相当平凡的一部作品，平凡的不能再平凡了，甚至眼泪也没掉，也没有打动我……只能说，老婆好美，帅哥还不错吧，歌好……小松老婆接点好电影吧55虽然以后还是会支持
电影本身并没有那么多值得多加回顾的点，但想到现实中的事情，还是忍不住哭了。
可以算be美学天花板了吧，剧情虽然老土又狗血，但扛不住男女主哭得一把鼻涕一把泪的煽情啊!
