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".
谈恋爱蒙太奇部分bgm是蘑菇帝国诶🥺（Tokyo— — — — —!!!
书很无聊，电影一样。勉强能接受北村船戏吧，但是千万不要有胡子啊🙏🏻
结局已经很明白了非不点透。。。好吧
有几处片段还是把我笑倒了，多好的电影啊，越到后面越喜欢。
黑岛结菜的每套衣服造型都非常赏心悦目，很漂亮很漂亮，但是她精致女大学生的长相和整体元气少女的气质和寂寞人妻完全不沾边。片子的主题已经是老掉牙的关于毕业年轻人的故事，但是整体内容寡淡无味，各种地方都无法让人产生情感共鸣
同性题材黏糊糊，主人公精神乱糟糟，亲情讲述无论如何无法共情，40分钟就想弃掉
如何寄托同志的心？其实只有丰富自己的精神世界！
2⃣能让我按照自己的意志去生活
把婚內出軌一夜情說的這麼美化😂也不知道這群大學畢業找到工作的男人，實是在憤青啥😂
1⃣不家暴
46/100。直到最后半个小时才逐渐理解了男主人公玩世不恭的外表下脆弱不堪的内里，当那些生活中所有最接近的美好突然消逝的瞬间，那颗看起来流浪的心终会体验到不可扭转的疼痛，才能更好学着过完未来的人生。然而影片的前四分之三虽然回想起来确实能够体现出男主人公的生活态度，但具体呈现上真的让人难以忍受，晃动不安的镜头、吵闹喧哗的配乐、具有挑衅意味的某些情节实在让人吃不下去。不过男主角演技确实了得，尤其是那场和女儿的餐桌撕逼戏，两人句句高能，让人大呼过瘾。 @2021-10-20 23:27:26
应该是躁郁的心？如果不是躁郁症，我真的无法理解这样的情绪冲突。Leonard Sbaraglia上了年纪还是风韵犹存（？），很难不让人心生疼爱呀。
乱了套了，关系设置很刻意，一直在怎么这样了和这样也行吧里跳跃
帅哥禁得起怼脸直拍啊 人到中年满地鸡毛 但生活还是得继续 激情戏唯美 送走女儿之后那段很感人
三星，演员卖力加一星。躁郁症的中年危机，失去旧爱，女儿毕业开始事业，母亲去世等问题，时刻在亢奋，时刻心猿意马却时刻失控，剧情想表达的内容本来不错，但导演叙事能力不够，层次不分明，转折靠死亡和幡然醒悟就显得力度不够和软绵绵的了
如果编剧与导演别贪心，就只讲一家三口的关系，以及延伸向外的爱恨情仇，重点突出直击心灵；再将基调把握更准确，不恶搞不煽情，不混肴影片成色，那么我一定更加共情！
“我真的都无所谓” 喜欢这段关于不伦的独白，也无比喜欢闹钟响起那一段，从此以后每次听Aliens都一定会浮现雨天清晨酒店房间这个场景
挺好看的，接地气，作为电影可能不够有逼格作为喜剧小品还是可以看下图个乐
从情绪的表达上就很赞。国内拍不出这样的影片来。
两场性爱，细微的、似乎相似而又完全不同。太困了，看了欢却差点没看到悲切。喜欢的人，就是什么都好；什么也无所谓。
