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".
韩寒还不如去写小说算了，这玩意根本就不能算是电影，尴尬的要命，直接能让人看的对刘浩存生理厌恶。韩式段子和金句都让人觉得太自恋了，什么含早啥的玩意还自己觉得很有趣吗？韩寒散乱的文风拍到这一部了还是够乱七八糟的，得看《雄狮少年》洗洗眼睛，那最起码还有些梦想和无奈可喟叹。
看的我们哈哈大笑。笑点还是挺多的。只不过这个天空不会给我们想要的答案而已。估计韩寒老师陷进去了新海誠状态。希望快快爬出来
初心很好，想法太多，没有现实，直接崩盘，更不适合春节档。
最后结局有点难过，浩存妹妹再也回不去南澳了，但是她为了哥哥还债，为了阿耀赎车子的那种心情好让人心疼
但是我还是很喜欢这部电影，画面和ost加了不少分。剧情里，开头那一段男女主的互动隐隐约约感受到青春的悸动，进入城市后那种迷茫刻画的还挺成功的，至于韩寒式的幽默也不错。
《麦琪的礼物》埋藏的线索。当失而复得的无意义，也不过虚惊一场，人生最美好的成语。韩寒自己说过的。
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。
还是很喜欢韩寒啊，他的幽默和他的浪漫都是很机灵又能打动我的。多到甚至冗余的题外表达我能get到很多，继续加油吧
节奏凌乱，叙事生硬，笑点尴尬，毫无电影语言的真人版雄狮少年。韩寒这么大年纪了，曾经也算是个有良知的知识分子，依然热衷于玩车耍酷赚钱，为什么不做点有意义的事情？
其次是整部电影对于气氛的营造：南澳流动的海水、广州流动的霓虹，突然起雾的海面上驶来的大船和《后会无期》里升空的火箭一样，是一根刺。
搞笑和文艺感融合的很不好，致使不管是喜剧部分还是文艺氛围看起来不是装就是尬。故事本身很无趣，讲得也不好，尹正角色前后的剧情割裂严重，前面尬喜后面就是装悲。韩寒拍片都是一个调，想表达的很自我，没什么不好但比起前面几部，这部是真没考虑观众喜好啊。
不差。开头拍的非常一般，甚至有点尬，尤其是心动和恋爱的片段，没有把刘浩存的潜力全发挥出来。最大的问题应该是过于杂糅了，你很难在这部商业片里找到一个一以贯之的类型方向，全片几乎都是以一种碎片式的风格在进行着。全是段子和轻鸡汤，这么多年了，韩寒还是只能拍小品电影。另外，指向性台词写得太尬了。要深刻不深刻，要幽默不幽默。
与《奇迹》最后所有人都收获成功恰恰相反，这部电影的结局是相当悲惨的，物是人非，车损人亡，生活仿佛没有了一切希望，一切本该向好的方向发展的事情，全都搞砸了，看完只有无尽的压抑。
割裂严重的小镇青年成长故事，碎片化的表达与段子手的集合，随着死亡网贷以及不合逻辑与现实的男女人设的出现，最终没能在这个新春获得观众的认可。也非一无是处，但韩寒真的需要做出改变了。ps：diss刘浩存的倒没必要，我不觉得换个女主角这个电影的档次就能上升，搁这做梦呢
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。
韩寒的电影 一如既往的飙车...从汽车到摩托车 下次是不是可以飞艇了？结局真的让人不美好...也许这是现实 但是前面又给了那么多 不现实
韩寒通过四部作品逐渐证实自己是个造型导演。
后来，人进入城市。城市没有风，城市是静止的陆地，海域在四周，风吹不进钢筋的森林。少年是英雄，孤勇是异类，就算英雄有冲破金字塔的勇气和能力，在最后的那一刻，风还是停了。
片尾雷光夏的声音响起，把本不圆满的结局画上舒适的句号。从纪念徐浪的《乘风破浪》到现在这部缅怀柯受良的《四海》，无处不在地描绘着韩寒对人生的看法和情怀：浮夸又真挚的友谊、清澈复杂的爱情、笨拙笃定的信念、世故轻藐的人性…每部电影几乎都源于渔村，像金山对于韩寒的意义。与其说是电影，不如说是导演自传式的情怀。看后专门查了下柯受良相关，因酒后引发哮喘离世，和片中欢歌可以说基本一致。整部片子有种八十年代的复古感，也是导演的刻意而为。
韩寒没有任何进步 依旧是小镇青年那一套 和接受的教育有一定关系 怀念的永远是他自己中学时候的那一套东西 拍个摩托车就套个柯受良飞越 一切都太过于表面了。
