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".
这一对兄妹就这么悄无声息的走了，耀不能要啊。比较喜欢里面的风景。整个故事就很淡，像眼前的一团烟，然后你看着它汇聚消散。即使最后的珠江一跃也只是风改变了一下方向。用修塔哥一句话，这个社会，别人说一说，你就听一听就好了。四海之大，四海之小，不过大家孤胆的来孤单的走。
在如梦似幻的朦胧中找到属于自己的解答。
前面还算欢乐，但悲剧来得猝不及防。打着喜剧的幌子却拍得这么压抑，难怪被人唾弃。其实影片并没那么差劲，韩寒想用这样一种悲喜交替的方式表达些什么，比如浪漫敌不过现实？只是这么痛这么凌厉的方式，实在不适合贺岁档这样一个合家欢的档期，换个档期，或许会不那么让人难以接受？
我喜欢四海。韩寒的电影不是那种高分作品，但是那个味儿只有他有。刘昊然演技有进步，让我觉得他可以演更复杂的角色了。刘浩存也适合这个角色。
这故事带坏年轻人的三观
五星都给片中的广州。以及与广州有关的爱情。
山雀很好听，但是电影配不上。韩少这次是连佳句都没了，佳章本就没指望。
最大的问题其实就是四个字:没有生活。男女主角的演技简直就是艺考生演即兴小品的水平。花钱去看这片子的人大部分都会觉得很冤吧。
一场车祸是如何发生的，放在普通人讲就是，嘟~嘟～咚。放在韩寒讲就是《四海》就是《飞驰人生》。
新概念作文式电影，故事稀碎，人物立不住，到处都是耍小聪明式的韩寒金句，情绪毫无连贯性，各种所谓表达也都隔靴搔痒。调调还是那个调调，韩寒没变，但观众变了。整个电影都是少年不识愁滋味，为赋新词强说愁。什么时候能有“而今尝尽愁滋味，缺道天凉好个秋”？
正如很多评价所说，韩寒似乎一直以来都在拍同一部电影，元素包括：海滨小镇、父子关系、赛车、妹纸、漂泊等等。由于无法真正表达其中核心的部分，所以给人徒具其表、不知所云的感觉。
花火。韩寒的片子，有着相同的味道，调侃，底色悲哀，既理想又现实。只是感叹，那个曾经代表“新概念”的人，拍出来的他心中的故事，也不再是当下的青年了，可类比于冯小刚拍的致青春。同样逝去的也是我们的时光。
剧情和女主演技绝配，但刘浩存确实挺好看的。
你被需要刷卡的闸机困在了大厅，我被不会使用的房卡困在了走廊。在小镇能用硬币为你点一首歌，在城市只能戴.上面具飞越珠江。把项链藏进面包里，把竹蜻蜓粘在头盔上，我关于这个世界的愿望是含早的酒店，关于爱的愿望是带你去能抓螃蟹的海滩。终究你的左手没有学会命运和弦，我的左手没能握紧人生离合。
刘浩存的表演有点做作，和刘昊然感觉不在一个情境中。沈腾离场后整体就掉下来了，一直在让观众落空，桥段老套，韩寒老了。
2.5星吧。前半段3.5星，后半段太拉垮了
尴尬从头到尾，也是一种不易
去过汕头很多次，南澳岛风景确实不错，希望你以后住的每一个酒店都是含早的。
这是我近半年最喜欢的一部电影！觉得韩寒一直保持着年轻人的热情，不断变换着身份，做的却是一样酷的事情。
唯一的目的就是讲他是修塔哥的段子，除此之外没有任何作用。
