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".
这是一部集合友情，爱情的夏日故事。电影本身略显无聊，节奏少有拖沓。
反糖水片的模式，本以为能步入正轨的生活被无情的撕扯，情人、朋友、乃至自己的亲生母亲，最后会发现，原来爱自己的人，一直在自己身边。
虽然这部电影充斥着fuck，但是却是一部正视HIV的片子，戳爷的脚很雕塑
轻巧灵动的青春小品，讨喜的是议题很大但触角很小。宗教取向与少年成长没有形成庞大的负担就已经讲完了，但同样会显得浅尝辄止。亚裔女闺蜜形象酷酷的，虽然设置成lesbian实在是有点刻意。
戳爷的颜值拯救了平淡无奇的剧情，色彩画面倒是蛮适合这个季节看的。
Troye真的好养眼，整部电影的配色都柔和轻盈，蓝马甲和涂鸦的帆布鞋，橘色创可贴和白色内裤，戳到底是怎么做到蛊而不媚，清澈纯粹的!!关于三个月的煎熬等待，感谢相遇的每一段经历。正确认识艾滋，拒绝污名化。从小切入点入手，有一定的教育意义却不沉重严肃。
第一幕就让我笑喷🤣
在我朝仍然风声鹤唳的时候，大洋对岸的糖水同性青春片已经能够将类型元素结合得细致而又自然，既拍出了青春惯有的迷茫和美好，也拍出了同性群体的情感与负担。
清水小gay片，看完了也没有很想谈恋爱，但是也许在别的阶段看会有想吧。
戳爷说他想演cmbyn幸好是甜茶演，看了戳爷演同性恋后，想了想他还是先多演些电影磨炼一下演技吧。要不是这是一部轻松喜剧他的演技一定漏洞百出。还是值得鼓励，个人是看好未来发展的。电影没有以往LGBT题材电影的苦大仇深和激烈算轻松＋愉快还带有青春片的阳光，但也失去了探讨艾滋与社会的关系的深度。
一整部电影都在等戳爷的bgm出来，等到电影结束终于等来了。
最后一点，想过度解读下：印度裔少年奔忙学业可以压制内心情愫，他未来会成为一名工程师；而美国“废柴少年”还在多愁善感，他未来会成为一名有朋友的人。他们都有美好的未来吧。
就这都7能上七分，大家包容度真高
爱情与艾滋，情欲与心动，选择与成长，释怀与离别，畏怯与直面，恐惧与接受。
非常非常一般的同性青春小清新电影，没有戳爷的话三颗星
开头无论是内容还是色调，还是男主的脸我都很喜欢。看着看着放佛也感同身受到男主孤立无援的感觉、no friends no lover no family，还好奶奶一直支持着他。这漫长的等待审判的三个月。
重返18 emotionally and physically
8，糖果色的成长物语，三个月的等待真的太残忍，感受心碎，学会和解，平静的结尾很有力量，无论未来如何，都要坚强活下去，戳爷片尾两首歌太好听了，戳和estha都太美了
原来这就是戳爷，果然是经得起考验的颜，怼脸拍依然美。那浓浓的艺术少年感有几分甜茶的错觉，突然也发现他和甜茶演GAY时候的差距。清新的小GAY青春片，截取了艾滋是否确诊前的三个月，本就茫然的少年在各种转折前面对生活和爱。
虽然老公很帅演技很好 但是剧情和男2颜值拉胯 剧情完全撑不起来 想描述家庭和友谊和爱情和自我信念 青春期 可惜一地鸡毛有些混乱
