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".
在我心中和ひとよ一样，就题材和情节展开来说其实可以拍的更好，但也不算差了。喜欢几段插叙和节奏。佐藤健真鸡儿帅，回忆里和果耶的几个镜头很养眼。
一位阿姨拒绝申请低保，说不想给国家添麻烦的时候脑子里 叮 了一下。 社会部职员因为应接不暇的低保申请被搞得疲惫不堪的时候决定严格按章办事的时候我忽然感同身受。跟人有关的工作如果抽离人性变成机器一定会产生悲剧，口口声声为人民服务的人大多都厌恶着人民
感觉这片更像部科幻 围绕永生讨论生命意义的片子。讲的挺好 演的也挺好。能抓住人 能看进去。“如果我忘了你 那我还是我吗” 郭的永生 没人记得他的永生 是他想要的吗
伤疤上的故事，白夜行般的迷局，包裹着社会问题。很日式的叙事，中二又真诚
社会派推理。震后恢复以及社会保障，天灾之下的内疚、愤怒或者负罪感以及社保带来的援助以及弱势身份等多种矛盾复杂的情绪是有足够的挖掘空间的，不过影片更多是口号式的教导，同时缺乏有效的情感塑造。而推理方面也鲜有亮点，节奏没有起伏，双线叙事稍显累赘。普普通通的行活，浪费演员阵容。
这片子的类型究竟是什么，科幻？爱情?剧情?
既想讲地震，又想讲社会问题，又想拍推理，结果就是每个方面都不够深入，表现一般。好在阵容不错，清原果耶妹妹在这部里演技也不拉胯。
故事编排没有重点 体现了“泛” 但见不到“深” 即便在每个人都很疲累的震后 依然有尤其需要被保护的人 议员道歉的说服力只有吉冈秀隆苦大仇深的脸在支撑 忘年三人的羁绊也展现得不够 因为给果耶撸了几个奖所以两星打不下去手 但是对濑濑敬久真的不能有什么期待 明明认出了抽屉宣传册上的西田尚美但没有反应过来也是我自己的错
从腐烂尸体上飘出的一缕残魄，仍带着尸体的衰朽气味
2011年的大地震给当地的幸存者带来了永久的精神伤害，而负责发放低保福利款的官僚们的冷漠与懈怠却造成了更大的伤害。
郭小鲁——永远不变。
最后十五分钟真多余！死状还慢动作、男主角和刑警的对话也太自以为是。而且为什么要乱更动原作最揪心的部分？婆婆人生最后一段时光那种慢性折磨、贫困边缘之下无助的时间流逝是最戳的，结果只简单以一句过世了来草草结束。男主角因得知老人家最后是过着啥样的生活，所以放火才能激起人强烈代入感，因为几位公务员的各种作为才是致命关键。也侧面透露出这现存体系的矛盾与乡愿。至于警察旁边这小跟班的戏份没必要这么多，把时间挪去铺陈三人拟似家庭和公务员的做法都比这种拍法好。男主角是可以平常去照看老人，但他后来工作地点调动至远方，鞭长莫及才寄托福利单位，类似这点原作都很合理的，翻拍却忽视这种合理性。最后对峙的高潮导演也没拍到位。濑濑还是老毛病。
内容浮于表面，虽沉重却不深刻，但这片子值得疫情失控地区领导班子反复观摩学习并作深刻检讨。
原以为翻拍自本杰明奇事一样的奇幻电影，却是完全不一样的故事，但很相似的地方是影片的质感都非常棒，感情温婉如玉，叙事细水长流。开篇如散文诗般的娓娓道来，中篇的年代爱情故事轻松且颇具趣味性，结尾却让人笑中带泪，饱含着对生命轮回的思考。这次王传君挑大梁又一次淋漓的展现了做为演员的沉淀和积累，感情的转变和小细节等都拿捏到位，证明了药神的惊艳感绝不是昙花一现，这样国内少有的题材绝对值的细细回味。
不老pk骑士。你想鸟枪换炮骑大马，我想借你脐带血用一用。小说、摇滚、杂志...反正不拍电影🎬
本杰明巴顿奇事+阿甘正传+回忆八九十年代+突如其来的莫名其妙的一些东西
影片节奏真的非常缓慢，就好像慢慢去体会那种失去亲人的伤痛。日本大地震造成的海啸真的是摧毁了好多的家庭，人们也都在艰难中努力生存。
一人背锅一人犯案的剧情实在是过于老套了，一眼既穿的剧情使这个新颖的题材变得平淡无味，也让最后的呐喊和呼吁变得那么的苍白无力。
整体制作挺好，但是内容太薄弱。一个娇小的女人是怎么把两个高大男人拖到高层废弃屋的？从技术上就说不通。
没有无缘无故的恨 但爱应该是无私的 佐藤健挺帅的，但主要还是看阿布宽 311震后发生的故事，可以再拍20年
