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".
还是家族里的人太坏太混蛋，腐败的像沼泽或泥潭，完蛋是迟早的。
纯情叛逆傻少（？）男被心机拜金女主借机上位，整个时尚大家族被耍得团团转？？？虽然影片改编自真实故事，但是整个细节完全不能让人信服
4星。作为导演处女作，两位导演（同时也都是编剧）都很让人惊喜，杨潮凯从演员跨界的表现不仅有勇气，也准备充分。这个故事是他们学生时期身边亲历的事情改编的。
最后没有逃走，我给了这第四颗星～很美，很温柔
单看情节，这是一个家族企业在处理家族问题的同时，还要抵御外敌入侵，有点复杂的故事。
你大爷的，这是你雷老头该交出的水准？
我真的超级不喜欢这种影像风格，浓浓的滤镜质感，廉价且没有想像力。剧本也乏善可陈，对于一个自己在高中时代喜欢过女同桌的30加成年人来说，这部电影呈现的情感层次我是完全不满足的，且正是由于这种情感层次的缺乏，就一直靠煽情来圈观众（最后还来一段真人采访，求求了，电影不要这样拍）。坦白讲2021回头去拍2001的发生在香港女校的女孩之间的爱情，能够做得也远不止于此，遗憾。
无法不去注视老鳖的上嘴唇还有那凹凸不平的脸，没有细节的流水账是什么鬼，导演赶紧去拍异形前传吧，这种乱七八招的别搞了
谈善言在同辈演员中已经出类拔萃许久，杨偲泳这次表现亮眼，温柔又坚定，调皮又成熟。两位女演员几场感情冲突的戏份，都很令人动容，最后互表心意的结尾看哭了。
唉，真系烦sei，就算听得明也某用，有字幕就好勒，你俩架葛感情我真系搞唔明。
不理解。芯悦只把咏蓝当朋友？共同的经历，回忆不一样。被刀的心情倒能体会。狗血爱情片不分题材….想到那个男闺蜜，趁人之危发生性关系，还强凹痴情人设…果断一星
hk文化 + 东亚女同定向狙击 怎么说呢 有笑有泪 如果真的能为一个人那么勇敢 那么她也一定是闪闪发光的人 世俗偏见和爱仿佛是永恒的话题 总有人离去和在原地等待 通过一些媒介去纪念属于自己的经历 反而却不敢真的在现实生活中做出改变
實在實在實在太難看了，難看到我以為光線影業的版圖擴展到香港去了。心疼青年版歎息橋宇宙的三位好演員一秒鐘。
多出一星给自己回忆里美好爱情的片段，很美好很渺小也很短暂，你永远知道世界的某个角落有个他，有关爱情的美妙时刻都是他。
看得出雷公是真的很喜欢亚当司机，但是我没想到我两个半小时看了个流水账……
这个电影把时尚产业的肤浅鄙陋刻画得淋漓尽致，那些沾不上半点艺术皮毛的排列组合，以及哗众取宠的视觉效果，之所以能受到世人的追捧，归根结底来于这些古老品牌的傲慢与偏见——崇古的傲慢与审美的偏见。它呼吸着工业文明的空气，散发出商业的腐臭。尽管男女主人公的感情生活符合一般规律，没有多少悬念，但人性的演绎依然震撼人心，正因女主人公太平凡太世俗，才使得这场斗争变得异常惊心动魄。
难看就算了，最可怕的其实是无聊，怎么可以这么无聊，甚至都没有什么值得说道的片段。
女校，基督教，暗恋，伴娘，等等一系列元素堆砌起来的吧
冚家铲电影。从片尾字幕看来，本片聚焦的其实是Gucci品牌是怎样在Gucci族人手上跌到谷底的，而并不是男女主相爱相杀的抓马。电影时间线结束之后Gucci被外人接手触底反弹。片中主要刻画的四位，确实无一例外的丑态百出，老雷对这些人物毫无怜悯或情感，尽情展现了他们各自的贪婪、无知、自私、拜金和愚蠢。Gaga发挥应是最好，眼角纹里都有戏，莱托玩得飞起，司机并没有什么发挥。
那句“我喜欢你。”李咏蓝也没有听到。
