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".

奇幻版安妮海瑟薇的one day 吗。看完有种淡淡的忧伤，爱情还是勇敢点，不错过才是最好。人生这么短暂，不要让一辈子嘴里苦，靠高粱饴取甜何必呢
In the Wake 2021 1080p BluRay x264 DTS
5星给原作（生活没不好过的人看了感受不到啥，就打个2星。呸，就算过着好日子的人不少又和我们这种社会地位低的人有何关系？富人、社会地位高的人们总是有无限的选择权，不曾体会将来也不会体会到的痛苦对他们而言是没有意义的正如此片，只不过看看演员（小说改编（作者在小说繁体中文版后记中的话:
王珞丹演的好，世事变迁，不同时代的苏凌芳有着不同的特点。
我本来是奔着感动的爱情来的，半道儿非开始讲生死和医学，然后再硬拉回来讲曾经沧海，然而此时我脑子里已经全是医美，最后再用个奇葩代孕来收尾，中间还有各种生硬主旋律植入，已经无法用割裂来形容观影情绪，多一星给王啸坤吧。
拍的太拖沓了，每个人都苦大仇深的，看着太累了
哎，老了，真是看不得这种。结局没拍好，不然哭死，算是名副其实的过了个光棍节，吃狗粮。哈哈哈。 王传君略微有点出戏会联想到药神。 总体观感还是很不错的！
老王，也是会老的，也会起夜；也会在睡不着的夜里，把年轻时的那一道道墙，悄悄地再翻一遍～
日本片子总体节奏就是太磨叽，当然，你也可以说是为了细腻刻画，呵呵
宽叔真的好帅，但是为什么总是站着满眼泪光呢？故事有点牵强吧，都过了那么多年，为什么选这个时候出手呢？
青梅竹马的剧情挺正中我，但是后面剧情太乱了，找不到一个点，东戳一下西戳一下偏偏我还认真的想要理解它，所以导致我像吃了屎一样
日本反复讲述拍摄的是不讲道理的天灾带给人和社会的次生伤害，而我们正在经历的连探讨的可能性都没有。
堆叠的社会议题都太多了太大了 导演都将法令原文照搬进台词里了 看来是有心关注日本社会的
题材不错，但拍得不痛不痒，让观众很难代入那么强烈的恨意，这就属于是拍烂了吧。
剧情跌宕起伏，看的时候心里的评分也忽上忽下。前后像是两个故事，但又有些许联系。像是《阿甘正传》加入了一些奇怪的元素，是一次不错的尝试。但这部爱情片却没能引起我的共鸣，或许恋爱经历太少的缘故吧。只能说是“作者电影”了，有很强的作者痕迹在其中，想表达也绝不仅仅是爱情，塞的东西多了，却又怕喧宾夺主，结果有点畏手畏脚的感觉。但是两个主演都是很喜欢的演员，演技值得肯定，但故事看似要逃离传统框架，却又落入俗套，但又俗的有些精致，让人雾里看花。总体观看还行，但可以更好的。
怎么说呢，可能不是我喜欢的类型吧，依然是讲地震灾难之后给大家造成了后续的一些问题
题材不错，但拍得不痛不痒，让观众很难代入那么强烈的恨意，这就属于是拍烂了吧。

前50分钟还不错，后面一开始干细胞，就迷幻了…真的…迷幻了…但最后一段还是哭了…你好的时候我不必在，你不好的时候我一定在
