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".
摄影助理小姐姐真琴可太好看了！！！！这一对也是甜味超标…片尾音乐也是好听的歌
男主像易烊千玺
即使容颜老去，但在我心里，你还是最初的模样。爱过的人没办法远去，记忆里的你温暖美丽。
片如其名地土，古早死人纯爱套路。情节铺陈过长，配角塑造明显强于主角，若月佑美的妆造十分清丽。
每一段不被提及的人生，可能充斥着伤痛而必须要深埋地下，如同那些无以言明的爱一样。拿Half Gin with half water当水喝的老太太，成功地调起了我的胃口，大下午的就给自己整了杯highball🥃
三星半，剧情推动得稍微有点快，旁白用得太多的戏我一律认为是导演偷懒。长尾的眼神表演相当好(怪不得老叫他演内敛的角色)，台词和肢体还有可以加强的地方，不过作为初主演电影很不错了! 学姐每个镜头都好有魅力，难怪一开始青梅赢不过www @2022-02-11 08:52:43
亲情治愈的故事本身讲的中规中矩，兰普林除了演技力压全场之外，导演选择她来饰演这位远离英伦故土自我放逐的独立女性，也颇有意味
绝症恋爱的设定比较平庸，治病导致的家庭影响细节还挺真实的。松本穗香特效装有牺牲，中岛健人依然演技捉急。
还以为是怎么了呢，原来是无病呻吟，浪费老子时间
还有比兰奶奶更合适这个角色的吗？这类题材不指望新意而是心意，演员有说服力就毫无抵抗力。
夸夸摄影，好几个镜头真的很好看。想截图的那种
故事老套但奶奶很酷，7.5以上才是正常分数好吧。by the way，我老了的时候也想像奶奶一样有尊严的死去！
作为悬疑片太松散，作为青春片太无聊，作为说教片太生硬，甚至作为粉丝向电影山田杏奈的造型也是一场灾难。
惧怕死亡、害怕孤单也没什么丢人的。哪怕年轻时是战地记者，见惯了生死，有钱又有品，一辈子未婚，嗜酒如命，又酷又飒，但是在等待死亡的时候，还是会希望有亲人陪伴。首先是得到了孙子的爱，然后也得到了儿子的原谅。我还是挺期待她死前告诉儿子他的父亲是谁，结果没有。男人根本不重要，谁是父亲她根本不记得，不也这么潇洒地活了一辈子么？在有些阴冷的新西兰的清晨，看着那初生的朝阳，喝下最烈的最爱的杜松子酒，然后死去，这一辈子，足够了。
有些镜头真的很好，拍的比一般纯爱片高级多了
故事老套但奶奶很酷，7.5以上才是正常分数好吧。by the way，我老了的时候也想像奶奶一样有尊严的死去！
本以为会想《酒精计划》一样后半程high起来，结果还是
差点没撑到配角们的戏份上来。死人纯爱只做到了死人，俩人像是谈了场元素堆砌流水线式的恋爱，让人很难找到心动点，还不如和嫂子的关系塑造得立体，甚至连樱花都拍得不怎么唯美好看，网飞怎么还能拍出看着这么寒碜的片子呢。
之后奶奶那种洒脱，不羁中又带着些落寞的形象越来越鲜明。
是怎么选演员的？居然毫无cp感(小芝风花后遗症
