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".
真的很爱看校园美剧！轻松又快乐！女主穿着20年前打算穿的裙子出现的镜头、拿了舞会皇后、毕业典礼的最后集体跳了一次啦啦队的舞，都是完成了她20年前没完成的事情，让人真的很想哭！最后升华主题也很值得思考。（女主演员像瘦身后的adele…以及justin hartley总让我感觉在演这种蠢蠢的花心男哈哈哈哈
诶 是蛮好而且现在不多的小妞电影🥰看的人就会很开心 能在朋友回国之前一起在考克屋common room看 真好 在🇬🇧也能幻想代入一下自己的青春吧
笑点还是有的 就是剧情太老套了 打发时间不错
女主真的即使瘦了还是那个有趣的皮囊，不开心就打翻东西和用手砍大腿真的看一次笑一次，但是我还是觉得她原先更好看呢。好多熟脸啊，Justin真的好适合演渣男，停车场那段眼神真的让人腿软。浅谈了一下当下很多问题，比如过于zzzq啊，还有所有都依赖于社交媒体，以至于没人关心你是谁知道他们看到你的粉丝数，还有学校最受欢迎那个女孩说的一套套冠冕堂皇的屁嗑儿真很反应现实了。以为女主在看到这些会有大的整顿从而慢慢改变，以及找出当时的幕后，结果提都没提，是真的打算轻松愉快走到底了
这种类型的美式轻松喜剧还是挺受用的。谁不想回到高中呢，哪怕已经是发福不再好看的中年妇女了，又有谁高中时候不想成为人见人爱的cool kid然后做一些中二的梦又在中年回望时带着点怀念去鄙夷。想起我也错过了国内的高中毕业典礼，但是我班级的同学知道我回来的日子特地邀请我重新穿上校服回到校园拍了毕业照，真是美丽的十八岁。
好看诶！女主刚回到高中校园的那段真的太好笑了，Tiffany女儿那段展现的形象真的textbook👍
Worst chick film I'v ever watched
还挺有趣的喜剧 literally a coming of age story
毕业以后做过好多次梦回到学生时代，但每次都是更差的结果，并没有给自己翻转
还算可爱吧可能是预想的比较垃圾 最大感想女主的爹真好
看完感到在美国想当popular kid太难了
2.但冗長又臭為主
所以真的没人调查下那个“失误”吗。。。校园喜剧 小鸡电影 现在都拍不好了。。。
7.8
虽然结局有些强差人意，但喜剧好玩就行了！有些讽刺zzzq的地方笑死
我喜欢布莉，聪明漂亮善良喜欢思考，非常2022高中生
我太喜欢看轻松的rom com了，拍得及格都值得我看看。没想到Angourie Rice演Rebel Wilson小时候没有任何违和感。Zoë最近的几个角色怎么都是这种高中时人见人爱，中年别别扭扭的？她长得很像高中的Queen Bee吗？没有这个感觉啊？这样的type casting还是第一次见。
挺轻松愉快的电影，女主心态那是相当好啊，可能也和她身边都是好人有关系，不过和朋友一起看完，大家最耿耿于怀的就是当初害她的人受到法律惩罚了没。最后再来一下子到六十，就真是加速人生了（雾
非常传统和经典的美式高中电影，甚至有点想起来了高中看过的歌舞青春和摇滚夏令营了，故事简单放松，而且温暖人心，讲述高中时期最简单和平凡的生活，也许和年龄无关，一生中最重要的就是我们爱的人和爱我们的人时刻在一起不是么。
10年后以为再也看不到这类片子了。今年居然看到了这部！
