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".
朴圣雄继《新世界》害死黄政民之后，险些在此片中再次得手。
是为了这部电影开的网飞，结果开播了却一直忘记看了hh感觉还是可以看吧，整体剧情和人物情感还是蛮能代入的…只是看完感觉有点难受，差一把劲就能完全戳到点上的那种感觉。而且可能是因为人设还可以？这部里中岛老师的演技就至少没有那么浮夸和尴尬（？）是可以边吃饭边看的片子👌🏻
早衰症题材第一次看👀我以为男主会认出老去的女主，结果并没有（预判了我的预判）男主发现粉毛帽子的时候读信真的有伤到，感觉日影很神奇的是，它带来的效益不是立刻显现的，是偶尔哪一天看到类似的事情，然后密密麻麻在心上抓挠的心痛感。
咱就说现在已经2022了 累了
kenty演技还是不错的 哭戏稍微出戏了点
很纯爱，我喜欢纯爱电影。
能想象得到剧情，但是还是意料之外的从中间哭到结尾。很多地方都有哭点，虐得好久才回过神来。中岛老师几个情绪爆发点都代入得很深，沉浸进去了
剧情很老套，细节安排的很到位，给四星不过分
如果是还在上学的年纪看，也许还会多一分感动，现在三十多，更触动的点反而是哥哥嫂子对妹妹的爱，男主女主演员各一次的大哭呐喊高潮戏都没处理好。典型的日式纯爱，却无论哪个方面都次了一点
看之前大概知道了设定，没有想象中的伤感，感觉镜头和角色都刻意回避了最沉重的部分，大概是不想离春天的意象太远吧。细节表现和情感处理都很到位，后半像一场湿漉漉的春雨，没有强烈的情感爆发但呼吸间都是纤细的潮气。摄影师的设定很贴切，镜头妄图将瞬间定格为永远，就像晴人对美咲描绘她无法到达的他们的未来，看的时候害怕起很多事经不起等待了。里面的爱情和亲情都足够美好，不过后者更戳我一点。哥哥笨拙却努力地哄妹妹开心，嫂子融入这个家的心意和努力，在疾病不可抗拒的侵蚀下努力营造幸福家庭的样子，都让我非常感动。美咲直到最后也没敢和晴人再见面，是害怕自己在爱人心中的美好形象破裂吗？但亲人能永远无条件地接纳和关照她。代入后哭得停不下来。最后夸夸中岛进步巨大的演技，晴人身上完全看不到中岛健人的影子，再也不说他演技不好了！
久违的让我想哭的爱情电影😭虽然剧情有些老套但是演技，镜头都不错🥺有被打动到（虽然这哥分含着我对中岛老师分挨饿，但是电影本身也不错啦！喜欢里面的空镜
岛2真的进步很大！！画面都好美哦，喜欢！剧情进展感觉怪怪的？
本格纯爱剧，b太大概是我觉得里头最出彩的吧
。。。。预告片看起来竟然还可以？虽然只看预告片就能猜到所有剧情，网飞滤镜看着也很塑料。
多2星给老师，恭喜你终于是演员了。
“春临，樱开，恋人心；春逝，樱落，思人情”，这场短暂樱花季里的恋情或许注定以悲剧收场，但因为它曾绚烂过，才会让人心生羡慕。（我就是个悲美学爱好者！！！）
剧情推进太平淡，女主演技太拉垮，看完唯一的想法是又想拍胶片了
Kenty演技地区有所提升，人生总是有一些遗憾需要一辈子来遗忘的，但是全剧演技高光点在B太，我太喜欢他了。
要那些警察何用，两人对峙一人，三番两次被逃脱或打翻，是为了衬托黄政民的勇猛吗？#20211117
剧情没有那么差，但是演技根本撑不起来，直接给我演笑了…
