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".
几乎不掺糖分去讲平淡开始的普通恋爱中的琐碎矛盾与筋疲力尽。需要单位计量，恋爱就是一团麻烦了
男人一任何借口拖延结婚都是为了不和眼前的女人结婚，一旦有机会，他就会甩掉眼前人，跟新的女人在一起。
甜到哀伤，痛到欣慨。明明和自己重合度不高，但却似曾相识... 所以被感动了吧。
挺好挺顺畅的，节奏好也不尬。比多数国产爱情片都好。表达的主观意思也挺有趣，就见仁见智各表一态。最后，歌不错。
能有这样的普通爱情片看，我已经很满足了，有颜值，有场景，故事基本说圆。晓彤妹妹太好看了，演技还那么好。为什么同一个光线公司出品的电影，水平就能差那么多……
如果最后没有复合，起码本片的主题还是明确的！那就是女主她妈说的——一个人的时候，怎么高兴怎么过！
作为国产动作片还能看看，节奏把控可以，演得有点假，鼓励一下
因为看手机吵架的那段太真实（51min，1h3，1h12），可是后来坚守那么久的思念和守望却那么不能让人信服。
什么元素都有了，女一亮瞎我们的眼睛，一镜到底也设计的很好
还是把电影剪剪拿去给OST做MV吧，太流水账了，别再说是恋爱花期低配版，恋爱花期起码是真情实感，这部所有东西都停留在了表面
要不是男女主有颜都不知道看什么 女主机关枪那看着让人想到了金克斯
看着挺爽，但也全程尴尬…一盲人能搞这个，即能躲冷兵器，又能躲子弹，还能闯敌巢…我是不信的。女反派希娜和探长是亮点。
优点和缺点都是现实性的问题。优点是相比其他同类糖水片，将情侣间的关系变化内因落到了北漂压力、工作与生活平衡的现实问题上，双方都无功无过，情节狗血含量较低（但是也因此有些乏味和俗套），争吵分歧较真实。缺点是这些现实在本十多年北漂看来，细节失真的地方还是比较多，欠打磨。比如一个是季节感混乱，再一个完全回避了疫情（结尾一点戏份戴个口罩并不难），还有奔三的北漂情侣是不会说分手立刻就能分手的，因为几天之内根本来不及找房子+搬家。所以主创还是没太想好到底是走撒糖骗眼泪路线，还是希望唤起现实共鸣，现在是两头都没做好，或者说一部电影的篇幅可能根本无法兼顾。
从打斗战斗场面上看并不水，还算凌厉真实。主题是救女，随着情节的逐步推进，越来越觉得像盲人版《飓风营救》，但是找到女儿的过程就比较简单粗略。反而是亦正亦邪的女主的眼神到位，让人不寒而栗。
以年为单位，以白头偕老为目的，以你为主语，我们在一起，这就是爱情
编得实在太假，看不下去了，多一星给安志杰的认真。
电影的节奏剪辑的很好，开始快闪一样的甜蜜镜头看起来好舒服，好像回想到了这一年的每个甜蜜时刻。
挺好挺顺畅的，节奏好也不尬。比多数国产爱情片都好。表达的主观意思也挺有趣，就见仁见智各表一态。最后，歌不错。
安志杰是个好演员，无论剧情有多烂，都照样演的下去，男女反派简直是小丑夫妇。顺便说一句，在菲律宾遇到的所有人都是中国人，太牛逼了。
女主演的挺有那意思，演她老公那个虽然有点油，但还有点小帅。片子很一般
