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".
（上一个这种剧本普通但是抱着对美女们期待下载的霓虹百合片还是《再见嘴唇》
前半太平了，以至于要不是实在无聊都不会看下去。从后四分之三开始，换一个视角之后终于开始舒服起来，总算有点剧情了。换视角之前三星，换视角之后四星。
错过了归还发圈给你的好时机 也错过了和你坦诚心意的好时机 话说那个咬手真的很涩诶
实话实说，超预期了，本以为小制作，小成本的喜剧电影，看着图个乐子，没想到，太惊喜了吧，里面的笑点一点都不尬的，剧情很流畅，演员演技在线，里面的包袱比开心麻花的那个杀手好太多了，真的，力挺！！！
我们只能看见世界的一面。
就是说，个人最喜欢的是，雷雨天俩人一起躺在床上互相对视的那一幕。
emmmm有时候想说，双视角并不是换个卡梅拉就可以了，双视角想传达的东西是不一样的，这个片子算是一点都没有传达到，其次人物特点也不算做得太好，特点不鲜明，导致了我甚至没有怀念堇的感觉，也不知道为什么要怀念堇，此处建议看看隔壁的横道世之介，还有就是如果这个片子有想表达因为海啸带走了亲人朋友而走不出来的意思在的话，倒是get到了一点，其他的就表达不出来的感觉，意识流的部分甚至吓我一跳
不知道为什么又淘到了女同片＾＾电影整体的色调我很喜欢，是蓝色的。不过主题似懂非懂，它似乎想要升华，可我觉得有点牵强。
深邃的眼眸
又是q教父，又是入殓师的海报，难道这就是致敬吗？
又是很淡很淡的一部电影。细节太多导致看完一遍不能厘清所有思绪，但是感觉也不会想再看一遍了。后1/4转换视角时响起的音乐感觉很棒，前后两端动画很有意境。虽然不能说完全看明白了所有感情，但席卷而来的、偏偏又淡却又没顶的悲伤真的很难消化……
开头的动画让我想起回头变成盐柱的故事。女性之间隐秘拉扯的爱情还有灾后人们对逝者的怀念都是很好的题材，这个效果有些可惜。
整体上是部合格的喜剧作品，就是差点被这片名给唬了。
为什么我看的gl都是be呢？明明比那些bl美上许多，虽然这个节奏缓慢，靠着美女也该高分，而且不是普通的gl，基本上都有映射一些现实…
故事也是符合一贯的爽文节奏。
含蓄的白开水日影 自然灾害宣传片（伪）两小时没放多少情节 空镜头比较多 没耐心的可以不用看btw顶着滨边美波的脸第一次见面就肯用自己的手帮我催吐的话我也会爱上啊
好含蓄的蕾丝爱好闷的故事推进 二倍速都觉得节奏慢 故事尚且及格导演功力不够 只能说男导演不会拍拉拉
不过她们永远记得彼此，
看完预告就好，包袱、笑点都在这里。虽然是喜剧，300万为“还债”给普通人办丧礼，这尼玛什么逻辑。他家还缺钱呢，大爷。
很典型的日影，那种隐忍的情感已经在无数的日影中看到过，说不上失望或喜欢，对剧情要求高的人还是别看了
