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".
甜度不足，刀子有余，故事俗套，却不够感动
好老套的剧情……最后那里惊艳了一下 其他平平无奇
没看过原小说，仅讨论电影节奏和篇幅划分，两个小时的时长除了女主病情线，其余人物故事交代都流于表面...
剧情太老套，日本人怎么这么喜欢女方得绝症去世的情节，而且都2022年了还有得病了不告诉男主骗男主自己变心了的戏码。治疗诊所开在路况不好的地方就没有怀疑过吗，病急乱投医不可取，感觉是刻意为了拍哥哥背女主治疗。唯一亮点就是雪地里男女主相遇但是男主没有认出她，为了这一段我忍了这电影一个小时五十分钟，结果发现还没有配乐的剪辑版本给人感觉虐。没有cp感，恋爱过程也没什么让人心动的点，元素堆砌吧感觉。亲情比爱情要感人。这剧里唯一欣赏的人应该就是跟男主同一个工作室的小姐姐，有事业心又美还亲到了kenty，最后出国继续梦想了，羡慕。结尾的彩蛋也很老套。两颗星给kenty，情绪爆发的戏还需要再多锻炼。女主的演技不说了很差，鼻孔比较出戏。
关键时候还得自救啊 没两下子都活不下来 经历过噩梦还是有阴影的 挺惨的 还没看原版吾先生 为了看黄씨
hey brother的朴成雄哈哈
恋情如樱花般短暂地绽放，生命在花开花落之间枯萎，但是曾盛放过也不枉此生了，冬末春初真是残忍又温柔啊。
虽然我知道是一部很烂俗的电影，可我为什么哭的稀里哗啦💆🏻♀️
我不觉得这样的题材有什么狗血的，很感动的啊明明。
不过泪点低还是有几幕哭了
眼泪哔哔流
节奏很拖沓。还有很多完全不必要的剧情。但这并不妨碍我就是喜欢死人纯爱。
要不是看演员的脸和吃瓜看开车，三星都不想给，这剧情太平了！确定原著是热卖70万的小说？？？我13岁看可能会感动的一塌糊涂，23岁看只会毫无波澜，一切尽在掌握中😇“男女主角意外相爱，但一方生病，明明忠贞的至死不渝，可就是死脑筋，磨磨蹭蹭拖着彼此和剧情发展”梗太老了，槽多无口，拍摄叙事也一般，部分画面算美观（可问题我是来看画面的吗😅）到最后结局“可惜这次没见到你”泪点还不错，but预告即精华的话，不如去看粉丝混剪啊🚬🚬🚬
kenty太温柔了☺️
见到了但没认出来，扎心又安慰，没有刺破美好的记忆，也算是体面。
本就忙碌的一天的最后两小时窝在沙发上哭到呛着自己 除了被分手那段其他几场哭戏真的很好 zdjr答应我下次不演这种了好吗 我哭的好累

最后男主没认出女主那里是全片唯一跳出常规的地方了吧，感觉还可以，所以加一星。
喜欢剧情展开前的蒙太奇和片尾曲。老套无聊和一点点动人。
6.x分妥妥的 前段中二纯爱感（日本人很爱这样吗?），感觉精神受到了冲击......结尾很虐，一度想哭。片尾挺好的，一定要看到片尾!
