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".
看完以后知道男主是gay，仿佛导演在跟我说，你刚刚两个小时，吃得开心吗？其实，你吃的是💩哦～很失望，太失望
看到电影三分之一处，反应过来是倒叙，本来以为把一个可以正着讲的故事倒叙会很俗套，但是效果出乎意料的好，感觉就像《记忆碎片》+《爱乐之城》
夏日黏腻到令人生厌。用脚尖在我的小腿肚上画出，约定梦里相见的场所的方位吧。你扔进垃圾桶里的向日葵，可我只是呆呆的被隔在窗内，啊，暴雨的天气，一切事物的颜色都被大雨无情的剥去了，你像只湿淋淋的蓝色狗狗似的闯进来那一刻，我的世界已全部被沾染成蓝。
爱情的开始和结束都不在一瞬间，随着时间细微的变化只有自己清楚
鼓励性五星。国产青春片支棱起来了 ，国产means完全没有港台味！（除了五月天，没办法，国产独立音乐没有支棱起来）青春的精髓就是小孩努力扮大人，但在这之前，我们有的全是大人努力扮小孩，现在我们也有自己的小孩了（而且不是周冬雨，惊喜！
二刷
虽然把磨宝看呆了但我要说这部还没有展现出松居才华的1/2（暴言
那些无法实现的梦想,无法告别的人,到最后终究只是被稍微想起.
在Josh家看的 不知道为了什么哭唧唧 都怪到荷尔蒙那去吧
先苦后甜型，前面有点闷，直到最后十分钟才好看了起来，沙莉酱倒是全程很可爱。很多人拿花束般的恋爱和这部比，那还是觉得花束更好。
#看的不是特别认真，居然是冰淇淋和雨声的导演，完全风格不同，这部很稳，一点不躁，女主真是太可爱，嗓音有股魔力…磁场相同才会互相吸引，分开似乎也是必然的，感觉男主变化也挺大，没想到挺文艺，两人确实少了在一起的可能性吧。
我很喜欢他们相处时没有任何目的性而只是一直在试图获取快乐的这个过程 这大概也是我看过的第一部将疫情作为故事其中一个微不足道的点的影片 有种没有人再次试图欺骗自己的感觉 也很喜欢主人公既迷茫又坚定的人生态度 如果可以像这样自洽就好了 如果可以像这样自洽就好了
分手情侣还能这么拍啊，怪啊，好怪的时间顺序，纯倒叙才带来的复杂感受！
是稍微想起一些呀，倒叙的形式，也是记忆一点一滴，咏进脑海的过程。回想过去是这样的，由近及远，一层一层泛起涟漪，一圈又一圈，最后波动得整个心都湿漉漉的呢。
恋爱像海洋馆里的鱼类 自由 也不自由 看男主的所有电影都无法沉浸 女主好可爱演技很好 给帅逼成田凌一票
哇 水族馆两场 一场巨大蓝色水缸前的slow dance 一场拿抹布擦脸上的雨水 还有结尾都让我哭 就是说和贾木许没太大关系本质还是日式恋人絮语般的关于时间记忆和爱情的故事 甚至也完全不是很新颖 but there’s just something about it? the sincerity maybe or it’s only me //带字幕再看一遍发现不仅是倒叙哇 从永濑正敏“一定会在未来见到她”“终于见到了” 到重复出现的各色配角简短的人物线发展 到舞台上想象中的现在和曾经 线性时间的模糊 回忆/现实/想像边界的模糊 某种程度上是back to the future哇
虽不至于《花束》那么矫情…也偶尔出现一些看似演的不错的地方（演的最好的地方就是那个奶油蹭脸），但真就像小学生的流水账，还有那个坐树下的老爷爷到底干嘛用的，讨厌说教感！我是被海报骗进来的…
疫情下女出租车司机与男舞者的爱情。这一对选的不错。
会想起很多，但只能稍微想起一些
拍得太好了，真是又美又残酷啊。池松壮亮我的爱
