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".
故事内涵这样一个逻辑：不是怪兽带来了灾难，而是灾难在人们心中留下的悔恨与悲痛引来了怪兽。
还是一部非常好的日漫。我们要大胆的说出：“我什么坏事都没做，为什么是我？”，肯定坦诚的面对自己的情绪，才能摆脱迷途。几近结尾突然的奇妙物大团聚，瞬间魂穿夏目，是一部需要费心观赏的“美食番”，话说河童被刻画的太可爱了吧！
喜欢 画风清新 虽然故事很简单 但也很打动
剧情挺扯的吧，虽然不认识樱花妹，但是病娇成这样确实不太讨喜，一味的要求别人喜欢自己而其实过度自我迷恋，究其根本原因是自己就根本不喜欢自己。不关注自己的升学，自己的未来，甚至自己喜欢的到底是什么，和男主比起来她有幸福的家庭，百般迁就自己疼爱自己的母亲，和女二比起来她有健康的身体，很多舔狗朋友。可她只纠结于，想要的东西必须要得到，甚至想要的这股冲动在她看来毕竟下了时间成本，那你不喜欢我，我岂不是血亏这种炒股逻辑。女二和男主都比她更加了解她自己。面具戴久了长在脸上了，谎言说多了不记得真心为何物了。男主最后说正因为不一样才会互相吸引，我觉得还是在暗示女主与女二的感情归属。所以没看过原著，按电影的结局，她这颗石头心是被温柔细水滴穿了，而我比起她还想跟女二睡一觉，更关心她到底能不能好好把大学考了…
与其说是一个灵异故事不如说是一个童话故事，很可爱的童话故事
剧情走向出乎我意料，不过最后的he值得我多打一颗星。女主早就爱上女二了，不过她自己一直没有觉察到，还好最后她抓住了机会。
日常又带有一点奇异，平平静静的生活，然后鬼怪部分有点让人唏嘘，打斗过程太快了，而且全靠两个孩子的普通技能就结束了😅
女主三观有点问题啊，但是这个电影张力好强我爱了。麻烦多拍点。
山田杏奈演心机girl演这么好真没想到 导演在片子最后也放了一点点小心机 把自己处女作片名藏在了最后
如不能吞咽所有真实，便只能将自我放逐，三千世界尽为虚假，唯有舌尖火焰一瞬如炬。
有些地方看哭了！灾难给人类心灵带来的破坏，需要自己鼓起勇气去面对！尽力
想成为同样朴实，温柔的人。
治愈的部分我觉得还可以再多一点，再慢一点，多缓冲一点。
非常喜欢神话部份大平晋也流派的呈现，我太爱了！和简单干净的现实世界的表现不会割裂，融合得很好。羊文学的主题曲真好听。考虑补一下川面监督的其他作品。
原来女主这种类型叫强势病娇女啊。女主偷看了地下恋人之间的信，打算拆散这对情侣，原因是她不高兴男生不理自己。于是女主强攻了情侣中的女生，还想强攻男生，可是男生没有上当。女生付出真情，却感觉错付了，于是手写了一封情深意切的信给女主。女主看完信后竟然真的被感动到，也有可能她真的喜欢女生，看到信才意识到。于是三个人愉快地生活在了一起？一个直男和两个双？好复杂、好复杂。男生和女生都说女主眼里没有光，看来是相信奥特曼的男女。女生眉宇之间很像林吴倩莲。
一些细节初看不太能理解，但整体完成度不错。自负霸道的女一最后找到真实的自己，还是靠工具人男主的屡次提点和最后女二的手写信醍醐灌顶。就算是保送生整天魂不守舍在校园里跑来跑去真的可以吗？
可能我就是喜欢这样平淡的东西，画风我也很喜欢，看完整个人安静下来了，就是音乐有些像小森林，套路但是我确实好喜欢妖怪（）
细节改编到让很多地方感情表达不太一样了，更通顺也更通俗。原作里被爱说侧脸像天使的美雪，在电影里却要给爱解说电锯人里的恶魔，很有趣了。拗らせオタク性癖集大成的たとえ怎么可以这么拗らせオタク性癖集大成？
还不错的，因为重灾之后的缝合是需要长长久久的时间的
大概是小森生活➕龙猫➕夏目友人帐这样吧，好想讲了啥又好像啥也妹讲～
