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".
2022.6.14 薛景求最近是怎么了疯狂拍片疯狂上映 之前几年感觉都没什么消息了 但作为一名老戏骨能有这么多新片我都会看！而且居然是薛景求搭档文素丽…梦回薄荷糖 绿洲 随便一搜就搜到6.1上线D+哈哈哈 一个月的窗口期还是快啊 上当了6.1没上线。。6.2上了但是居然不带中字我吐了 原来是改编的日本舞台剧 ？？6.5一觉醒来凤凰天使居然又做字幕了？只是用了别的号发 而且这画质压缩的也太多了吧。。导致我过了一个星期才来看也没等到高帧率的 没想到又是校园霸凌题材的电影 而且好一波三折啊 从加害者到受害者最后又到加害者…千禹熙又变好看了 校长不想公开信封 让受害者裸着拉尿 用狗链拴住 小人物维权就是艰辛啊 经典各种捂嘴 经典提前学口供 有些片段感觉不是很合理 男主儿子最后免责了 但没想到还是他…
看的第一部le片 我感觉还不错 个人看法，还是值得一看的 至少看得到初恋的味道。
港式小清新 女校里的女同电影很少见 画面是蛮唯美的 最喜欢操场雨中吻戏还有浴室那一段 到后面感觉有点乱了 检讨时突然生气然后消失最后就有男朋友了要结婚了😂导演是杨朝凯挺让我意外的 还是功力不够吧
最后的反转有点没想到，如果当庭辩护再精彩一点就好了，当然可能本来也不是为了重点表达辩护。
2.5星，比较小清新的电影了，片中亲吻的镜头很唯美，但是导演一些故事处理的不清楚，镜头故事线模糊，很多片段看起来都令人头大！说不尊重新郎的人......其实gay片里也不尊重女生啊....甚至还骗女生生孩子呢……两位主演都挺好看的，短发女生的眼睛真的好看！🛏️戏那里眼睛太好看了！突然发现导演是个女生....不会？？？🤔
最后影片呈现为一种大义凛然的主旋律叙事，一家人接连用名誉和生命保护了国宝的安全。
虽然是薛叔大男主，但戏份有限的千禹熙和文素丽也都有比较抢眼的表现。情节上有点类似《无声》+《阳光普照》，可是差就差在每一个情绪爆发点和反转的桥段都是用那种最生硬最行活的类型片技巧达成的。
但是这个be我真的不能接受
剧情不够精彩中规中矩，雷佳音演技还是可以的！
原著居然是日本的吗 我只觉得这个情节就很韩 有点回到几年前疯狂看韩影看的都是什么韩公主芭比的那个时候
只想要那几个孩子自己他们的父母去死，这什么东西啊，没有良心斯密达。助纣为虐！
解谜游戏更好玩一点
期待了很久的片子，整体效果超过我的预期，开局雷佳音饰演的许愿和李现饰演的药不然鉴宝battle，很是过瘾，对古董辨真伪的台词也是一气呵成。眼前一亮的当属咏梅老师了，沈爷的“狠”劲儿，霸气！葛大爷不用多说了，扛下了一大半的笑点，你大爷永远是你大爷！总结：值得看！！！
调色小清新 就当清纯恋爱片看看
把真的藏在假的里面送给日本人？那不还是把真的送给日本人了吗？护了个啥？
作为还只能算普通影迷的人…又一次看到豆瓣短评惊愕地想要骂人，中国电影真的难处其实是观众太难伺候了…我被拉着讲原著看过剧对于剧情还算了解。拍成电影实难，要删减的太多。把佛头提成第一部主线是最正确的选择。说题材是上世纪的片子…我？？震撼马伯庸全家。有笑有泪、服化道合理、特效用的恰当，能看出来剧组很多实景拍摄努力不偷懒，所谓很多制片人要求的追逐打戏大场景调度 也不缺。说演员差的 是瞎了么。几个版本黄烟烟，辛芷蕾的有胆有识不好么？雷佳音演技不好么？说李现油头粉面娘娘腔的…虽然是有点装b但药不然就是这样啊…真的不知道因为“所以爷爷还是给了真佛头”而打两星的这帮人…是真要求高还是真事儿…两个小时，至少我的注意力没有掉线，比起欧美确实有点俗和审美老套。但作为商业片完成度很高。可以不喜欢，但是至少尊重努力。
看的第一部le片 我感觉还不错 个人看法，还是值得一看的 至少看得到初恋的味道。
看这部电影我一直在哭，她们曾试着反抗世俗，但最终却依旧被世俗打败了。这部电影我感到遗憾以及感动。感动李咏蓝为心悦延续梦想，感动心悦与咏蓝在校礼堂结婚，与咏蓝在操场上接吻。遗憾咏蓝的悔过书，遗憾最后…她们没在一起
最后影片呈现为一种大义凛然的主旋律叙事，一家人接连用名誉和生命保护了国宝的安全。
3.5，其实还不错，视角切的很独特，观影过程还是很流畅一气呵成，父母的眼里只有自己的孩子，别人的孩子不是孩子，成年人用大恶护住少年的小恶，被害人到旁观者身份的转换，每个人究其到底都是自私的，只要灾难没落到自己头上都无所谓，最后的反转必要性不大，薛景求演的好。
