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".
对少男少女间似爱非爱的关系捕捉得挺好，张子枫和吴磊这快要超龄高中生的一对看起来很舒服。前半段误会营造出的“追妞”情节可喜，后半段的人生困境也算令人信服。一直念叨“谭卓真不错”最后发现是郝蕾……我瞎。
这贴近社会吗？贴近现实吗？高三学生允许带手机？下了课就刷手机不刷题？一天到晚讨论八卦不讨论题？晚上不熬夜做题跑去蹦迪？我看到这种不学习的青春片都心梗
轻盈是全片最自发的气质，也是让它显得尤为珍贵的美德。成人世界就在隔壁，妈妈在阳台上趿拉着拖鞋剥龙眼，她身上尴尬的等待散发着闷热和潮湿；班主任歇斯底里地撞响警铃，一声父权的巴掌呕出了蜕变的阵痛，孩子们目睹许多丑态，却不知道这只是一个更丑陋的怪兽到来以先的预告；陈辰怀着恐惧踏进夜店，显然她还没有学会欲望和放纵，未知晓这是哪个世界的后花园。这些庞大的存在划过少女的耳边，却没有让她的悲伤沾染上滞涩和沉重。她的吻像水一样，从灯管和噪声中浮了起来，踩了个空，只碰上自己的倒影，她的忧郁便沉了下去，只是许愿，我们该对自己更加真实：于是便任由几场既是反叛又是成长的儿戏。越是放任心事去胡闹和旅行，也越是离危险和撒手更近一步。蓝色的海集结了释放和惆怅，更是人物和电影双双的无知，不向世界索要什么，这让我们感到幸福。
营销方向不对，大肆营销枫磊两个人，结果进电影院一看，完全是另外一个故事…
3.5分。相隔10多年的这部《盛夏未来》不太像是《盛夏光年》的续集，反而更像是《蓝色大门》的性转版。当然，作为长期在大陆拍片的陈正道，他对这种题材的处理相当谨慎，模糊男主角前度的性别，巧妙转移了敏感的关注点，将青春成长故事的落脚点放在“勇敢面对自己”与抽象的“未来”上面。这种做法显然在保持原有剧作内涵的基础上，更符合当下Z世代的口味。另一个出色之处在于准确捕捉了当下网络时代的特点，利用短视频、社交媒体、手机直播等的表现力，传达出年轻一代豁达开放的思想和表达方式。引入电音的话题有替某音乐节打广告的嫌疑，不过这种商业植入的手段恰好又强调了主题中关于“未来”的憧憬，可谓一箭双雕。
我还没有从这个片子里走出来的原因大概是我感觉到这里面有很浓厚的悲的底子，你不能掌控的事情太多，但你要接受的事情却也不少。很多个陈辰侧面凝视郑宇星的镜头都很精准的体现出了暗恋的落寞，那是多大声的音乐都不能击碎的无可奈何！
“这首音乐世界只有你有”，郑星宇你真是撩人却不自知啊，我在荧幕前都被郑星宇撩到了
吻一定代表喜欢吗？不一定。它还能是一种安慰。不管大人还是小孩，都要学会诚实的面对自己。三石弟弟演小狼狗，如火纯青。“我要是也能喜欢你就好了”，可惜我们俩性别不合。近几年最好看的青春片！弟弟这次的演技明显有质的飞跃，他一哭，整个电影院都在抽泣。
陈正道，爱你，下一部悬疑片希望不要发挥失常，期待！
「我们喜欢的人也能喜欢我们，那该有多好啊」，这一定是爱情里最放低姿态、最质朴简单的心声，也是每个深陷其中的男孩女孩重复过千万次的独白。所以同性的情节设计已经不重要，青春里最千回百转的从来都是那些少年心事，如同陈辰的吻和郑宇星的泪。
距离成年的时刻，便是我们距离Z世代的时刻。吴磊拉着张子枫的手进入的隧道，就是我们通向Z世代的隧道，神圣如千禧曼波的Vicky踏入千禧年。当我们在羡慕法国电影有足够强的影像生命力的时候，陈正道已在不觉之间完成。与预想相反的是，这并不是一部台湾风味的大陆电影，这就是纯正的大陆电影，所聚焦的是大陆的问题，说是新时代大陆最好的青春片不足为过，电子乐响起的时候，我们同吴磊，张子枫感受最贴近当下的生命律动，享受着Z时代的欢愉与悲伤。MING是天边的一道彩虹，美好无匹，是Z时代的符号，至于TA的性别为何？并不重要。所有，角色之间最后的和解达成了统一，郝蕾还是那个我们所认识的郝蕾。(2021top2）
人生有不同的阶段，新的开始要勇敢💪🏽2022加油
陈正道真如脱胎换骨一般，一扫《秘密访客》的滞重、猎奇乃至剥削，亦不再追求“大师”系列机械的反转，意外捧出这部轻盈到几欲飞升的《盛夏未来》。它聚焦的不是一个逃无可逃的青春泥沼，而是含苞待放和无可奈何，从俏皮到残酷的语调切换极其自然，最后用明亮的泪痕与难以言说的爱恋，在大人世界里拖出长长的阴影。
“最好国产青春片之一”，嗯嗯你们也真好意思吹
非常“当下”的青春电影，抖音、siri终于也走进了青春片。为了过审，擦边球打得非常精巧，营销宣传也是求生欲十足，在院线看到这样一部电影太难得了。有吴磊这样的男朋友也是太难得，为什么会有人想跟他分手？看的时候百思不得其解
就算没有塞同性情节，也是一部难得自然不做作的青春片啦，里面的高中生活都好写实，感觉就是自己上学时候会做的举动
很喜欢演员在里面的一句话 ：我最讨厌青春电影了
还是很有时代感的青春片，正如我不玩抖音，也已经对当代中学生生活感到生疏了。影片上映时性向争议闹很大，所以看的时候都在找蛛丝马迹，也觉得这种点到即止的暧昧尺度很好。陈正道各方面把控都很成熟优秀了，再值得一提的是选角很好，张子枫表演自然有代入感，吴磊这种过帅不日常的校草形象正适合，郝蕾也是“年轻时玩得比你们都疯”的家长，选厦门也是文艺神秘时尚藏富的城市，对电子音乐的推广也是电影里少见
吴磊＋张子枫，真的好灵气，再加上不发挥失常的陈正道，简直神配置。
老子特别下回豆瓣过来打五星好评，那些纠结男主性取向觉得自己被骗的是哪里来的啥比？？？格局就这？？？懂什么事少年之爱？？？青春的故事本就没有结局，哪里来的be和he，乌鱼子
