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".
第一次试探梗着脖子的亲吻，第一次在昏暗的房间里，放着《蓝宇》，我在你耳边悄悄说了一句我爱你，你睡着了肯定没有听见。你说只要两人相爱什么问题都不能阻挠我们，最后你却还是退缩了。你是我第一个爱上的人，果然三十岁我们都还独自一人的话，就结婚吧这种话不能信。但你永远都是我最好的朋友，永远都不会改变。搞不懂结局为什么没有he？
只要我喜欢你 你喜欢我 这个世界有什么解决不了的 想起MLA的海 假如你不记得 那场头痛 是我虚无的幻想吗
我还是会去的（落下泪来）
氛围我超喜欢，但后半段剧情有点看不懂…有些地方挺莫名其妙的就
“係啊”
确实不理解，难道就是因为她在讲台上念忏悔书？操场那场，果然预告即正篇，最精华的一场戏。但是啊，只是不理解香港这样的大环境下，为什么会有这样的选择。不过每个人想法不同。md我也跟女主一样，在高中趁人家睡觉表白的。
不过很喜欢李咏蓝，爱的很纯粹也很坦荡。哭过…
怎么会这样啊，Sylvia。女校、华尔兹、绿袖子、三十岁、婚姻、黑白的照片、忽然想带你走的妈妈、林二汶的片尾曲。很难忍住不哭出声。
#OAFF 3.5 华语圈女同片相对来说太少，能在大阪的电影院看很开心。也许是剪辑的原因，中学时代的故事有一点流水账的感觉，有些部分的衔接也不够自然。印象最深的一句话还是，共同经历就会有共同回忆吗？总体来说还是很能共情的，最后婚礼的部分有哭到。
- 電台太刻意
所以，成年后阻止她们在一起的是什么？以及，导演究竟想表达些什么？
做个人吧，不要碰直女。这个世界是很残忍的，我光是以前听别人说:可是她从来没有爱过我，为什么要跟我在一起？分手了就都结婚了。我都感觉到了深深的沉重，不是说这个沉重的意思，为什么要跟直女谈恋爱？？？？
怎么说呢 虽然狗血 但是亚洲les片摩多摩多
- 角色關係變化上生硬
烂也就罢，披着女同的皮，镜头里的影像却传出厌女感受。女与女吻戏干巴生涩，就那还能接肿嘴？剧情发展莫名其妙，女主感觉自己情绪受伤就去找男人发泄情欲，强行刺耳洞刺出血和和女男交媾的画面来回切，看得相当不适。女孩和女孩之间的幽美暗涌简直连影子都没拍出来，估计编剧的文字表述能力远远不如我最近在les sky追的贴“祈求天地放过一双恋人，怕发生的永远别发生”。 男性导演们，没金刚钻别揽瓷器活，没好好探究女孩们怎么互相爱恋，千回百转的深情与温柔试探前，别再玷污女同题材。谢谢
拍出了两位女主的美。剧情有点生硬，节奏平铺直叙，有点像MV叙事
有勇气喜欢但是没有勇气去爱
- 演技不能勉強, 只能說加油吧
不带脑子看还好，电影滤镜太难受了
这个题材难免不落俗，但狠狠共情了一些李咏蓝的情绪，那就多加一星吧。
