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".
能get到她们之间的感情诶，第一次kiss那里好青涩，两位演员演得好，小动作把握得很精妙，有一些场景很唯美，叫家长那里好搞笑哈哈。总让我想到《莫里斯》，先开始的那个人却早早说了放弃，有点唏嘘。心悦很耐看，神似陈妍希。美中不足的地方是心悦的成长线乱七八糟，分开得太唐突了。

我已經知道咗結局
那么芯悦在没有了家庭压力下还是选择结婚其实就已经说明，你唔系佢杯茶，她就是不爱你。那么结尾那句我愿意，就真的很侄女的把戏了。
“又关我事？”
但依然是个让我感觉悲伤的故事。
太喜歡要耳環扎破耳垂的情節了，哇！有點心疼李芯悅，雖然不知道為什麼。
校园情节还有些意思，高光的篮球场雨中激吻后的情节让人迷惑。一个是深陷回忆的舔狗，一个是努力生活的渣女，但都有了最好的朋友。愿东亚nt片少一些be吧（Le片自动上浮一星）
愿你我都能安然和过去道别，留出更多的期待给未来
鉴于真係太少华语百合片啦，同埋片尾对现实中嘅拉拉采访嗰段都睇到我几感动，所以俾个鼓励分，希望呢类题材可以多啲再多啲，拍得越来越好。
有点意思啊
很俗套但是很感人的结尾
我们曾经的亲密是真实的吧，那种情感，对你来说或许只是友情，但对我来说，那就是爱情
因为女主长得太像某个朋友，令人可以忽略某些套路的部分，从而显得格外真实..能看到导演在竭尽所能掌控一切..也是..可以放开更多的..
两个人就算有共同的过去，心里也可能有着不一样的回忆
20211113@Cinema City / 看完一回想确实很老套狗血矫情，但是还是被伤到了，特别是悔过书的部分。中间有蓝宇tribute也是最大的惊喜。女二隐忍的性格很迷人，选择和未必是真爱的男性结婚的理由，或许是自身离婚家庭背景所致，只有变成友情的爱情才能长存。虽然如先前短评所言的剪辑缺陷、糖水片滤镜确实存在，但不至于这么低分。左边座位紧紧攥着女朋友的手来看的女生哭的也很伤心，还分给了我半张纸跟着一起哭。
有一点笑点，确实挺好笑的。男老师：“来月经真的有说的这么痛吗？”全班女生：“有啊！” 果然只有女生懂女生。演电影那里，本来以为是侄女的把戏，没想到李芯悦发现李咏蓝想吻自己的时候，芯悦会这么主动吻上去😭不得不说淋雨时的吻戏真的不错，毫无顾忌又勇敢。芯悦的婚礼上，咏蓝对着芯悦说“我愿意”时真是哭死我。为什么时be ，我好恨！（电影切换场景非常生硬不自然..
能看得出来演员和导演都挺青涩的，但不妨碍我还是被婚礼情节感动得一塌糊涂💔

拍得就中规中矩咁啦，仲係有少少稚嫩同肤浅，最钟意秒针同操场嗰part，睇到一半仲以为李芯悦係假借邀请李詠蓝做伴娘之名实质上係想佢同自己一起做新娘，点知原来係我谂多咗。吻戏的而且确麻麻，先唔好讲逼唔逼真，最主要係唔够美感，无论女女定男女都一样。
