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".
总体还是未能脱出美式青春片的套路框架，但更加的贴合现实，要讲的东西挺清晰的。
最后告诉你友情才是真的，男人都是假的，看这类的电影就会很治愈啊，男主需要爱的治愈，我需要男主治愈，最最让我纠结的就是他们上床为什么不拖鞋啊，疯了！
少年心情，一般吧，常州疫情，又放假了，电影刷起来
父亲离世，母亲排斥，爱人异路，艾滋焦虑，梦想昂贵，Caleb全都赶上了。再加上他重色轻友，何况是在荷尔蒙乱涌的18岁，怎会不感觉孤单。蛮好奇Dara的故事。
2.尝尝互助小组的donut到底有多好吃。
夏天…总是让我想起普吉岛和Call me……我爱的CP只要遇上夏天绝对会Be🥲🥲
成长就像骑着一台双人脚踏车，你不能指望你的后面能永远有人，没有人一起，才是常态。虽然是有些鸡汤的青春成长，但真情实感的影像真的很动人。（泪点低加上最近又又又又又获得妈妈支持的我后三十分钟一直在哭）糖果色彩真的好可爱，虽然不知道导演怎么搞的，但是居然能把过山车都刷成好看的颜色，真是太可爱啦！
戳爷好好看。但是剧情真的好无聊。和印度裔小哥完全没有cp感。
其实这个剧情还挺特别的，等待检测结果的时间，唉，别折磨我们可爱的小戳戳好吗？他值得更好的。
又是一个夏天。简单小清新，和《佛罗里达乐园》一样让我对佛罗里达有了马卡龙滤镜；配乐不错，喜欢那个轻快鼓点插曲，space oddity出来惊喜到。troye演技可以的，很适合上镜！（可以说几乎是啃的生肉）
但我很喜欢开头段的手绘风格了～以及美美的色调，天使戳爷～
非常的普通，磕不了cp，没有剧情，没有尺度，没有深度。如果主演不是戳爷，关注度会少一大截吧。
将成长的痛这一题材拍得较为轻巧明快，流露出满满的青春感。剧情和手法比较常规，戳爷自然而然成为了电影的亮点
歌手就好好唱歌出专辑，别把MV拉长成电影来骗钱。😇
新人导演讲述自己的故事还挺真诚的。怼脸拍把戳拍得美美的，感觉以后可以专门找这个导演拍MV...（剧情就算了，男人靠得住母猪也上树啊）
一个刚高中毕业的男生因为安全套破裂，忐忑不安地等待艾滋病毒的检测结果。在这三个月期间，他面临着友情、爱情、亲情发生的变化，让他慢慢学会接受生活。影片画面鲜艳明亮，音乐欢快轻巧，故事层层递进，小成本能拍出这样的感觉非常厉害。
一部真正能感觉到痛楚的电影，戳爷应该参与了不少配乐选取和编排
加长版音乐电影 剧情上没什么意思 骑车的那段特写有点感觉是为了模仿CMBYN 音乐也不够好听 3星了事
看完之后立马查了：1.此戳爷真的是彼戳爷吗？Yes！ 2. 戳爷真的是Gay吗？ Yes！ （妈耶，太梦幻了
认可戳爷的表演，但不认同这剧情。也许这是某位电影人在讲述他自己的故事，但是很难让人找到共鸣。主线的爱情故事不过是两个人相互支持度过等待结果的难熬过程，那位印度大哥拿到结果都不通知戳爷，显然没把他放在心上；第二条线的拉拉爱情故事也有点抓马；奶奶对戳爷的感情波动太大，或是奶奶的表演太夸张；妈妈的神经兮兮有点可怕；戳爷对自己死党透漏着一种重色轻友的冷漠，好在最后才扭转过来。当然，音乐还不错。
