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".
青春嘛，就是这样会想很多，会犹豫不决，也会在最后鼓起勇气告诉对方“我喜欢你”。看了原帖子，藏不住笑了，也太美好了。
大鹤告白的时候真的吓死我了 但是一想到之前他还喝了那杯奶茶又觉得合理了
将经历拍成了电影，但不是梦想和ZZ的，当你怀揣梦想问星空的时候，现实不会告诉你前面还有多忐忑。
怎么了？
校园的懵懂爱情是最美好的！话说周兴哲唱歌也太好听了吧！
怎么没看都像一部烂片的名字啊，片名太随意了。大杂烩多元素混合到一起的刷锅水。
emmmmm，感觉想走文艺却没走成功。有点矫情了。
我的大学生活很美好，以至于毕业的头几年，我每次经过学校都会心生怅惘，现实的不如意让我更加怀念学生时代的美好。然而随着时间的推移，我依然沉迷于回忆过去，但是心里再也生不出有重量的情感。韩寒的这部电影就是这样的感觉。他依然会被自己的记忆感动，然而年纪轻轻就走到社会上层，他对乡愁、对于回忆，甚至对于品味、幽默的理解已经固化在二十年前，他不需要改变了。电影里的氛围，多像世纪之交文学杂志上会出现的散文。然而韩寒的读者已经年近中年，即使继续相信那一套，也不会生出心底的共鸣。韩寒也意识到了这个问题，因此用女主的死强行制造悲剧——即使你不喜欢刘浩存的表演，你也得承认，她在影片中的死亡很有冲击力。这是撕人绷带一般的耍赖，却很奏效。于是我的四星并不是给电影，给曾经的回忆。即使不感动了，回忆依然是珍贵的。
一时间很迷惑本片的受众，90后已经过了中二的年纪，不喜欢疼痛文学了。00后看这个不会觉得土吗？ 差点以为昊然弟弟也要没了。这片放贺岁档挺奇怪的，坐立难安。
虽然很有争议 但如果在大银幕上多看过几次她的眼睛 就会懂为什么那么些导演都愿意拍她当女主 最后飞跃的时候一直在想 不会成功了吧？不会失败了吧？但还是喜欢这个结局
无疑这是韩寒最好的一部。诗性细腻，文学性强，人本生来孤独，有许多打不开的门，如果命运最终都是悲歌，也不妨碍我们还在有期待。被反向治愈的一部电影，谢谢韩寒。
论怎样才能确保她每天都能吃到你送给别人的早餐？🤣
就是很轻松的青春片，虽然没什么亮点，但看下来还是很开心的，女主的吃相非常喜欢。
又或许，校园恋爱剧不再适合我 🤣
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
男主的眼睛总让人联想到佟大为！除了时长有点过，不过胜在细腻不狗血！
但是因为尹正
看完了，这是一部真正的电影，而不是现在很多现实搭载过剩所堆砌出来的不能称之为故事的故事，男主吴仁耀太亮眼了，韩寒是个有诚意的聪明人。
有点矫情 有点幼稚 但也有点可爱 有点喜欢
我觉得是部不错的校园爱情剧，剧情简单，但是不影响是部好片子。
