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".
是一个可以作为语文阅读，可以口口相传的故事呀
女二性格上就是不大懂拒绝，和男主的感情也止步于牵个手。结果，让女主钻了空子。结局是我没想到的，男主最后和谁在一起没有表达。但是，女主和女二百合了这是真的。
温柔的山田小恶魔没人要我就抱走了～完美诠释了一个心机背后是单纯想要谈恋爱的小可怜啊！后半段跟着剧本一起放飞自我。
Anna很适合这个角色，但电影本身是灾难级别。
拍摄手法很喜欢，保持着疏离，尤其是用全景拍小爱爬窗户那段，嚣张跋扈的。在教室里和即若君说不想就这样成为陌生朋友那段也是，表情和たとえ君的反应。但女女在一起不能让我共情。剧情一直到看第二封信前我都很喜欢。新藤和たとえ的恋情有种日本美学，病痛共同相爱。たとえ是特意画了黑眼圈吗。
虽然把三角恋的关系和少女心思刻画得很有意思，但是男主的形象实在是塑造得很糟糕。虽然犹如他的名字他的形象若即若离，只是一种氛围的铺垫，但是很明显破坏了表达。
故事的核心是温暖的，只是没有足够好的形式表现出来
很吃女主的颜和人设啊！！一觉直接掰弯两个这剧情我喜欢🤩
有点过于中二了hhhhh 但看到最后一句台词的时候还是忍不住“噗”的一声笑了出来
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。
看了一小时又十分钟30秒。还有30分钟。我看不下去了。
除了结局有点草率以外其他都是满分！日系的治愈电影真的就是缓缓的走向你，不慌张不迷妄！我也想住在迷途之家～
有点失望，最后勉强he，为什么百合老搅着个男的，女主也是的，这男的这么好吗，愿意把情敌睡了，我是无法理解，也没有明白她为啥喜欢上女二，前一段还说只要那男的喜欢她，她便愿意自戳双眼，下一秒看了那封信就跑去女二的教室对她说再睡一次，麻木了，亏我满心期待的。虽然cp挺好的，但相识相知相恋，相知得搞好一点吧，还算是有个he吧。感谢亿万同人字幕组。类似的电影，桑德莉之夏剧情就处理得比较好。
各种奇妙物都好可爱，爱与守护的故事也好温暖。平淡的叙事方式适合舒服的看下来，整个故事的架构很好。
在一个心情稍稍难过的夜晚看的动漫大电影。这天早上在忙材料，下午值班，写作业加做工作，准备下班时突然接到要继续值班的消息。这时候心情已经不是很好，又直接开完一个会议，得知要做很多材料。领导准备验收工作，结果发现我做的东西不符合要求，直接让我回去，再跟我说了一下上次的工作失误。抑郁指数直线上升。看过这个电影之后，心情已经不是那么差了，因为这个电影在慢慢治愈我。故事线完整，带点神话色彩，并且是日本动漫一贯的妖怪画风。不能说很惊艳，但这起码算是一部合格的治愈系电影。最吸引人的是讲故事部分的画风，不知道这叫什么画法，总之是整部电影的点睛之笔。看过不少同类型的动漫电影，这部就暂且打四颗星吧，少一颗星是因为在它之前的同类作品太好了，不能超越前者。
山田气场所带来的氛围感非常奇妙……剧里摇摆不定，难辨真假的情绪也非常有趣
喜欢 画风清新 虽然故事很简单 但也很打动
看日本动画里面的正能量能带给人鼓舞，本片就是告诉人们善良勇敢，虽然灾难带来了伤痛和恐惧，但是只要有人拉一把就能渡过难关，也许迷途之家无处不在
好变态但是我喜欢，多少年没有看到这种病娇女主了。
开头节奏很慢险些看不下去 讲到主题“迷途之家”时慢慢有了兴趣 结局略仓促 总体很温暖 向往的种田生活（？
