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".
轻喜剧，但是养老问题还是很严峻，内向日本人真能适合share house吗
小时候就能重新开始，过于幸福了吧！制作优良但没有什么动人之处…
“我们都别无选择，只能尽我们所能。”好想住进这样的房子啊
一部宁静恬淡如婴儿睡眠般的电影，太喜欢了。行走慢下来，说话慢下来，对视慢下来，反应慢下来。这样，才有时间来一口如鲜花绽放的深呼吸。当环绕四周的是碧蓝大海，郁郁葱葱的森林，五彩的藤蔓花朵，金色的日光洒下，落在这座迷途的小木屋上时，我愿时间就停在当下，融化进生活中。
日本婆媳关系让人羡慕，人到中年面临的危机还真多。
开始以为是小森游戏推广片，后来以为是生活剧，再后来是神魔剧，最后都不是
我喜欢前半段的生活气息，风景美食孙女和奶奶。
讲诉一个充满光亮的幻想故事，想借此驱赶悲伤者那渐无人声的境地，可红祟有时不是人的失声，而是你无理解力的安慰。受害者从不是生活的无辜者，以此为名施加你的好心，以为他们意识不到这是欺骗吗？我们都是暴力的造物，这注定我们要承受不可理解的暴力，正如我们要承受这不可理解的暴力对我们的创造和供养。
编剧可以强行给合租广告片一个好结局，给不了人生。
本来还觉得立意很好，能认真讨论养老问题，结果看完了发现什么都不是……想用喜剧的形式来讲故事，但是太刻意了，是故意挠痒痒的级别。特地请了很多搞笑艺人和有搞笑气息的演员来客串反而让人出戏。一开始女主身边全是拖后腿的人，无能懦弱的丈夫、被惯坏的儿子和女儿、斤斤计较的小姑子、我行我素大手大脚的婆婆，还夫妻双双失业。后面婆婆办了场生前葬，其他人就突然想通了懂事了问题都解决了……也太简单粗暴了吧。而且为啥两口子都50多了存款只有700万日元但是房贷还有2000万日元？这就算干到退休也还不上房贷吧。小姑子家明显经济条件好很多。最后房子卖了去住合租屋感觉像是宣传任务，合租最令人不安的是根本不知道室友是什么样的人，怎么可能一直和乐融融？50多岁要卖掉房子去合租还说是自己任性的选择？女主父母的不顾后果活在当下也
电影的画风与剧情是不想当，一方面极具日常，一方面又神秘玄乎，涉及的元素很多，可惜却没有融洽的结合。如果能保持前半段恬淡的叙述，还是不错的治愈电影。
直接表现震灾之后的状况和幸存下来的人们的集体创伤在动画少见，全东北地区甚至全国都来支援灾区也是很有感染力的主题，克制（白描）的演出在前半段很有代入感但后半就十分都合，当然从脚本开始就没有扣题发挥导致的剧情割裂也是重要原因
老戏骨天海阿姨 松重丰主演 演技是没话说不过剧本就非常的一般浅薄 最后结尾就是让大家消费降级卖了房子去和人合租养老 太不靠谱了 日本已经开始走这种养老宣传了嘛
剧情一般
画风是治愈的，但是剧情的故事性少了些，有点太单调也有点中二。
我以为是灾后重建治愈番，谁料后面变成一刀9999级的热血番。
还行吧！景色很美，故事也很简单，但觉得剧情和角色都刻画得过于平淡了…
虽然是经典和解结局，有点粉饰太平，但是我看的还是很开心。
好适合一个人静静的看这种温暖的电影 好希望可以住在迷途之家 拥有一个慈祥的奶奶 和一些长相“古怪”心地善良的奇妙物做朋友 忘掉一切烦恼 让平静温暖的生活治愈自己
什么都不重要了妹妹真的好可爱！（所有人都好可爱
