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".
台湾青春偶像片不是一直是强项吗？现在资源降级成这样？找不到有颜值的男女主也写不出简单动人的故事了吗？
虽然不是happy ending，但是回味更绵长。
印象最深的戏是阿耀走在逼仄阴暗的楼道间 光落在他的脸上 这条路一定是充满希望的吧 为女朋友担下债款 摩托被押走 只能在游乐园的球形铁网中一遍又一遍练着特技表演 想吐也会说着没事继续来 即使这样还是充满希望的吧 第一次敲响父亲的门 却听到一声“爸爸 有人敲门”
校花那对好像风犬少年的天空里安然钦哥的he版
③电影主旋律不是喜剧，也不是追梦励志电影，偏轻喜剧文艺。
在自己的第四部长片中，韩寒脱去最初的稚拙，也与生产《飞驰人生》的工业流水线告别，成了成熟的，回归的创作者。这是我未曾预想到的。首发预告时我厌弃地以为全员耍酷。没想到他们都是“没本事的人”，在生活逼仄的角落里安放自己。赛摩托车是动了心思的。情怀也很真。也第一次在讲段子与哲学寓言外，把情节交给了悲剧。小岛少年很真，女孩儿很纯。故事很遗憾，很轻描淡写，很痛彻心扉。
三星这样子，为我沐沐主演的第一部电影以及在里面唱的那首歌加一颗星！剧情挺俗套的台湾偶像剧，但其实还是有点共鸣的。男主选角好差，周兴哲请你好好唱歌别来演戏。换曾或者范上都好很多。
难道只有我这个很吃韩寒风格的人才觉得这片不赖吗
又或许，校园恋爱剧不再适合我 🤣
从他们刷不来房卡在门外睡了一夜开始，我大写的无语就没有变过。
故事线太乱了，支离破碎，强行热血，刻意怀旧。刘浩存太尬了，挤出来的笑容和0分台词，看得我脑仁疼，跟刘昊然的感情线也是拉垮。唯一值得夸的就是运镜。总而言之，3颗星给韩寒吧。
节奏太差。。。只有沈腾出场的前半段是OK的。。。离奇死亡 风向陡变 巧合车祸 太尼玛离谱了……所以看完之后 啥叫四海呢
剧情很套路啦，都可以猜得到，但这个饭团看起来都好好吃哦！
周末 阴天 整个人都被湾湾电影🎬治愈了 豆瓣评分也不影响我喜欢看这种安安静静很舒服的电影 自己喜欢就好
胸怀梦想的小镇青年，背井离乡，一技之长，舍命求生存。
韩寒下一部电影就没人看了吧。。。越拍越烂。。。无语到了。。。
表达的是什么我不知道，但看出来只有耍帅和泡妞以及自负与命运的嘲弄
结局挺好的 女主是八字眉哎哈哈哈哈 男主丑帅丑帅的 歌很好听
Waste of time. 显然导演并不熟悉电影叙事、镜头语言，故事结构杂乱无章、角色平面功能单一，没能建立冲突还硬是扬起配乐，看得我浑身难受，一言难尽......
配角都是大熟人，陈淑芳奶奶啦，陈嘉玲的麻麻啦，林柏宏啊，刘品言啊，女主也很可爱（小时候也是陈嘉玲的小演员），可是男主真的很没有学长气质，我站吉他社社长。结果看到林柏宏是上班族男主，气死啦，林柏宏完全可以演高中生啊，为什么林柏宏不能演啦
