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".
观感很差，剧本台词都没写好，感觉很塌，又仿佛在说教
快乐如闪电稍纵即逝，狂欢后的海滩只留下空水瓶与你，向南的道路却是一颗颗流浪的心
其实是还不错的剧情片，对男主及周边人物性格和内心的展现很深刻也很强烈，演员们出色的表演也张力十足，但是主角的人物形象明显缺少一个有力的转折点，仅仅依靠母亲去世，女儿出国留学很难有说服力，造成电影前半部分的疯狂和最后的平静无法自然地连接在一起。
2.5有点土气。。但竟然还有共情到的镜头！以及最后一个镜头真是土到掉渣。。
救命，看开头以为是花恋，看到后面发现居然是昼颜。酒店穿浴袍love love的戏份震惊我一年，北村匠海看起来真的很🐏wei。
演技还是那么棒 ，演Gay很到位自然，很多小细节。 剧本不是很喜欢。 欣赏美好的肉体啦。
没想到这种题材也能拍出缝合怪电影。前半段和《花束般的恋爱》完全撞梗，但又没有坂元裕二的才华和巧思，结果就极为尴尬。后半段还有个自作聪明的反转，把整个电影从单纯的无聊彻底推向了浪费生命的高度。
Get到北村匠海后第一部他的片，除了在黎明时分的巷子里一起奔跑那里有过一下心灵共振，其他我都觉得有点意味不明。嘛，社会新人，平淡生活，也不需要什么意味就是了。黑岛结菜真好看啊但是出轨少妇什么的完全进入不了，听北村声音蛮享受的。

2022年7月24日观看。总体还行，没想到是女导演，两场吻戏不错，只是穿着睡衣搞有点不真实。
因为柳叔去看的没想到是同志片，整部片也很点题：只有题材是浪漫喜剧（豆瓣这片名谁瞎翻译的？）好笑好哭懂得都懂，导演能把这种耽爆款设定拍成电影上映还找了柳承龙来演也是nb. 说起来最早认识柳叔还是单恋李敏镐的崔馆长，风水轮流转，这次换成他被追了~~
更喜欢心猿意马这版翻译名 leo怎么人到中年说话奶声奶气 还这么黏女儿
两个小时的内容好像什么都没讲，但是加一星给老帅哥
但是其他没什么惊喜，还是蛮喜欢这个结局的。
中了新冠 睡了一整天 凌晨起來隨意打開 著在沙發玩著手機竟然看完了…………
美丽的、魔法一般的时间，在黎明来临之前随她一起消失。说什么成为社会人以后也可以延续青春的傻话，什么都会结束的，不是吗？爱情终究化作了罐装啤酒的泡沫，推动着自己向前的是不理想的工作，追逐不到“最喜欢”，连“第二喜欢”也是奢求，太阳升起后才看得清要面对的是怎样的人生。PS.结菜的“彼女感”过于完美，近似一场梦幻。
连性事都懒洋洋的，emmm…这届年轻人不行啊
有几处挺搞笑的，这个关系说复杂也不复杂，平静的生活中需要浪漫激情，然后一家三口各找各的爱情故事，男主的线是主线，但食之无味，儿子的线反而更戏剧性，女主的就平平无奇，还有个打酱油的女二，纯纯的酱油，好在演员颜值还挺养眼。
Yo te amo, decid que me amas más… Es un momento lindo, y lo estás ruinando…
很难说是被治愈了 还是被致郁了 其实最终还是会归于平静吧 不过是生活的常态 带着希望在绝望中挣扎 不停寻找 不停受挫 然后继续寻找 继续受挫 爱你的和你爱的人会因为各种各样的原因离你而去 而你能做的只有眼睁睁看着他们离去 然后孤苦伶仃 大叔好帅 接到妈妈邻居电话的同时女儿坐着别人的车一骑绝尘 水深火热的处境 让人想抱抱他 可是 成年人的世界 拒绝了 就是拒绝了 很难回头 很难破镜重圆 孤独委屈 极力挽回也没什么用 以及 大叔真帅+1
