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".
和花束般的恋爱比，差在哪了呢
第一次看这种纯爱情片落泪 可能是看到了我现在的处境 就好像是按我们的故事拍出来的一样 真的一摸一样 希望全天下陷入此种困境的情侣都能如电影当中般那样 有美好的结局收尾 好想回到以前那样牵着你的手
两颗星，多一颗给毛姐，因为我很喜欢她，笑容太甜了。昨天做梦又梦到毕业那天了，好像我还有机会见ex。一直在梦里醒不过来，情节循坏，醒了看了这部。如果恋爱都是这个模式，谈个锤子。在没有恶化之前赶紧分掉吧。我觉得狗真的好可怜。
私以为朋友圈随机抽取一人所讲述的爱情故事都会比这剧本精彩
挺喜欢毛晓彤和杨玏两位演员，其实演得还好，挺有CP感的，就是剧本写得太套路，太一般了，先甜后虐，跟相似题材的日本爱情片《花束般的恋爱》一对比，就看出两国爱情片的差距了。爱情啊，婚姻啊，沟通始终是很重要的。
像是朋友的恋爱史一样 很熟悉的一些桥段那种 但是也确实很平 好的前任就是像死了一样互不打扰 有的话在一起的时候好好说 不要寄希望于自我感动和消遣 不会再遇到了
最让我感慨的是那句“在一起那么久，却连彼此真正想要什么都不知道”。
看的我蛮感同身受的 所以说女生也要自己忙起来 关怀自己是永远不会错的
两人甜蜜的时候看着也尬 争吵的时候看着也尬 编剧写得啥玩意儿 导演导的又是啥玩意儿 男主演技也被女主碾压 额...
最后我也在想，如果两人还在彼此念念不忘，那还是走在一起吧，毕竟如果真的是不对的人，那肯定是没心思怀念过去的，哪怕过去再好，也不会翻开回忆，翻篇才是当下最应该做的。谁愿意停留在记忆中止步不前呢。
时代进步，恋爱谈的越来越“现代爱情故事”了，曾经一段感情一年也未必能“全垒打”。如今甚是光速，来得快，痒得也快，七年之痒现在一年也能痒了。
2022的第一部电影是和老康在逛街累了之后为了找个地方坐着，选了新上映评分最高的一部，虽然买票时只有6.1分。太套路了，看了开头就知道说啥，流水账一般地平平无奇，最后非要搞复合真的有必要吗
我要给这个电影打五星好评！！！
3分给女主，男主太老了，再怎么化妆也没有少年感
走散了的人就不会再重逢
吵架部分最真实，缺乏沟通的情侣，就会耗尽感情那点美好。你不了解我想要的，我不了解你想要的，给对方自己想给的。男女思维总是不同，女生想现在，男生想未来，那还是说明有些地方不合适，互相包容和理解或许能走更远，可惜我们都最爱自己。大团圆结局也太不真实了，有些人错过就是错过了。
不记得上次看到这么无感的爱情片是什么时候了
当初看三十而已粉的cp如今发糖了，抛开剧情，只磕cp。
一起看的人好像蛮被戳的，我还好好像很平。
陆鹿珊在物质上对男主没有依赖，所以她希望的是需要江宇的时候江宇能在自己身边，而江宇内心想要证明自己，所以自顾自的以为等自己成功了条件好了就能给陆鹿珊安全感，奈何那并不是陆鹿珊想要的。好在，后来江宇明白了，他们还能在一起。
