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".
emmmmm，感觉想走文艺却没走成功。有点矫情了。
就是很轻松的青春片，虽然没什么亮点，但看下来还是很开心的，女主的吃相非常喜欢。
好喜歡！好喜歡！好喜歡！有別於一般校園愛情故事的節奏，早餐非常有質感，故事娓娓道來，令人幸福感爆棚～
标准韩寒式电影，堆砌满满不成熟的生活大智慧，但是我们长大了，不再相信了
“心存善念 闪光就会出现。”
正因为有了勇气，才可以有美好的结局。
说真的四海选错档期了，如果是现在上映我一定毫不犹豫的买张票去电影院看，其实四海被低估了，只不过是讲述了生活中的现实罢了，其实生活比电影还要狗血
你们城市精英能不能对底层劳动人民少一点刻奇和想象。南澳人只是生活在岛上，不是远离现代文明还在钻木取火，岛上也有旅游业，服务员小妹也许没读过大学，但不见得社会经验也比你们城里人差，男女主不懂刷房卡这种剧情到底是用几几年的脑子写出来的。Anyway，刘浩存的角色也许正反映了大部分像韩寒这样男作者心目中对女人的最高赞美：纯洁无知连开房都不会却跟定你走南闯北，就是最美的。
韩寒这片子被低估了啊，相比于《奇迹•笨小孩》最后的CEO飞黄腾达，《四海》回到家乡才更加贴近现实。
非常小清新的一部台湾青春爱情片，看完之后很有当年的感觉，我们在校园时期也何不是都有同样追女孩子的经历呢，这部电影又勾起了当年的那些小确幸，而且电影中的歌曲都非常好听，而且还是原创，这样一部片子值得到影院去看一看，和喜欢的人或者喜欢的回忆一起
小清新的片片，台湾比较擅长的类型，没有什么惊喜，一切都在正常的发展，名字就预示着结局。不过还是应该有人吃这套的吧。
想打負分，看了半小時差點要吐，主角能不能講點正常人會講的話？劇情扯淡，城市景觀嚴重出戲。以及劉浩存的差真不僅是台詞，除了擺個一模一樣的微笑臉，無論是對著劉昊然該表現出“喜歡”但又不敢往前一步的情緒，還是哥哥死去的悲傷，以及去世的哥被突然提到的愕然和憤怒，甚至是吃東西，她沒有任何一個情緒是到位的，太可怕了。
我觉得没有网上评价的那么烂，是韩寒一贯的风格。可能生活就是这样荒诞的，一门之隔的理想生活，压在身上的巨债，牵不了手的女孩，飞跃不了的珠江...理想主义在现实面前只能一次次碰壁。想起一段对话“生命只有一次”“太好了”
校园爱情片套路情节大全，女主像林依晨和周冬雨的结合体，以及不管怎么看男主的脸演温柔帅气学长太没说服力了
十八岁也是这么口是心非哈哈哈哈哈 演技很青涩 巧合很老套 可还是因为做早餐的桥段津津有味地看完了 想起来曾经也给一个人做过好多好多饭团和吃的 也很快乐
的确够戏剧化，有必要吗？精心刻画美好，随手拿起来掉了，摔落一地碎片。
3.看得出来韩寒的赛车水平可能只在小圈内还不错，所以疯狂拍这种曾经的天才堕落再起或者鸡头凤尾的故事…
现在的人都不爱看“残酷青春”电影了。我上学那会大家最喜欢这种类型的了。小镇青年，海岛，公路，机车，女孩。。。这不就够了么！也就韩寒还在给他自己和那一代人拍这种电影。
其实剧情就一般剧情，但是台湾演员的颜值怎么越来越一言难尽了………不会觉得好看的同时还觉得有很多人的影子，也是奇了怪了
终于明白为什么会出现两极分化的情况，就是商业性和文艺性的平衡没搞好。一面群星云集冲春节档，各种不合时宜的段子充斥全片(倒也不是不好笑)，另一面刻画了小镇青年面对梦想与爱情的勇敢和执着，也很有闪光点，但这样两不沾的尴尬就让故事有很多逻辑硬伤和不知所云，所以看下来多少有「整体还可以，但为何非要这样」的思考。
