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".
baby,you are one in a billion.
2022.2.27 戳爷居然也拍电影了？？还是LGBT？很难不让人多想啊！上线前一天戳爷得新冠了卧槽 真有这么巧的事情吗！本来说好23号上线的 等半天居然是24号…而且27号终于出熟肉了！亿万同人确实良心 很多片都能首发熟肉 还行 其实戳爷作为一名歌手首次参演电影这样的水平也很是不错了 希望戳爷还能继续在演艺生涯发展下去 好多戳爷的近摄 真的好帅啊 感觉好精致一人他就 知道62年以来所有奥斯卡影后就跟那个斯拉夫籍做了好6 后面发现他得了HIV 戳爷又是受就很怕去做检查 原来top是攻 bottom是受 男二真的一眼印度人 但不怎么黑而且口音也不是很印式 他这样的在印度男性中真的算很帅了 男主是gay 女主是拉拉 这片真就所有人是同性 然后经典gay片其中一方因为种种原因离开对方另一方无法接受
卢甘斯克地区，2014 年 5 月。Novozhilov 一家偶然发现自己身处卢甘斯克的各种事件之中。弗拉德·诺沃日洛夫（Vlad Novozhilov）曾是阿富汗战争的参与者。他知道什么是战争，在他那个时代已经看到了足够多的战争恐怖，原则上他甚至不想碰武器。在某种情况下，他只看到一条出路——离开这个国家。但是你不能逃避战争，边界已经关闭。为了拯救他的家人，他将不得不做出艰难的道德选择
and fuck you for making me like Taylor Swift
叙事结构真的有点平，除了戳爷和男二的颜不错，再来配乐不错，听听歌看看颜值也没啥了，与其说三个月是等待HIV结果，不如说是一段夏日短暂的艳遇吧，等待检测的过程也没有深入的冲突，甜也没有特别甜，霉霉风评再次被害，看完记住一个教训，男人靠不住，姐妹常永久。
“佐治亚理工学院”“我要专注于我的学业”，啧啧，跟我的第一任渣男一模一样。
年纪大了，对这种不甜也算不上酸的情节无感。
简单来说就是...MV质感的美剧...
你戳真的不是个好演员，这个角色也设计的让人烦厌和平面，几乎可以想象到如果是安德鲁海格来导这部，绝对是比这个更稀释，但是情感饱满好几倍，而不会是这样浅显的体验
ps弯弯字幕组译的真好，边边角角的海报都会译上去，还会特地用相似的颜色字幕，片尾曲还有对应歌词
还有，troye 你不就是性转泰勒嘛（笑
还行吧，什么美国青春伤痛电影。有几条线但是都挺直白的，剧情也不是很出意料。看一看还是可以的，不算很无聊。
马卡龙色调加戳爷的美颜，绝！
很久没看过这样的电影了 爱情友情亲情 轻松 少年感
这不是我第一次看Troye参演的电影，但这部似乎让我get了他的颜。之前总有人说他和Timmy长得像，两人确实都有古希腊罗马石膏像的精致，Timmy更锋利，Troye更柔和。至少在本片中，从Troye的眼睛、唇齿间看到了Ana de Armas的影子，与他故意弄乱头发和穿鼻环的部分唱片形象很不同。I choose to like this version of Troye.回到片子本身，聚焦个人成长是很多同性电影和青春电影最近爱走的路线，但这条路也不是谁都能走好的，走得多了也就不新鲜了，爱情线的走向真是非常粗糙不走心了。
能理解，谁给我点一首Space Oddity我也会被骗走。
戳爷太奶了，小印度配不上你！独自美丽也很赞！
足够让人产生生活美好的错觉，但是音乐过多看着更像MV合集。
电影满是夏日的感觉 很清新美好
着实走心了。我第一次等检测结果的时候也是吓得失眠了，第一次被甩也是天都塌了，还好没有经历被亲妈赶出家门。奶奶的话说得好，好日子都在后面呢傻孩子。永远记得戴套的人生不会糟的。
