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".
他跳得太果断了，当时一定是想去bl星吧。但是活下来，经历了一场闹剧其实那些讨论并没有改变什么，只是不变的东西也有值得庆幸。还是在地球好好活着吧。妈妈和女孩子都好好。
别担心，别害怕，那片蓝色的海洋，我陪你们一起游过去。💙
好喜欢。温柔 治愈。女孩子真是天使，爱他，让他变勇敢，让他面对真实的自己
神尾小哥的颜值也太高了，后面直接给我看哭了。
开局王家卫，后面全靠碰，每个人都有内心的小秘密呀～
★★★☆ 表彰大會後，學弟來和安藤道歉，並且坦白自己也是同志，看到這兒時，忍不住讓我想起我在大學畢業晚會上台領獎時出櫃，晚會結束後，一個學生會的學妹特意找來給了我一個擁抱，擁抱時她輕聲在我耳邊說“我也是”，我用手輕輕拍了拍她的背。輕小說改編，始終對於現實的觸及有限，不過也編織了一個美好的謊言，那一切都發生在另一個無人會懷抱惡意的星球。
神尾枫珠还是很适合这个角色的，帅还是很帅，可惜哭戏实在不咋样，导演还不停怼大脸，哭得好着急好尴尬，可能因为时长的限制，整体没有剧版的细腻动人
徐贤穿着无袖紧身皮衣，眼睛随着镜头转的那里，我以为她要开始跳The boys呢。
感觉女主长胖了（没有别的意思 只是有点惊讶 虽然我是腐女（如果以喜欢BL来定义的话确实是 不过这个世界上本来就不存在完全可以理解他人的感情吧 曾经的我一度也很惶恐 一度挣扎在“我这样是不是不太政治正确？”的迷茫中 后面我觉得尊重就好了 日本在探讨这种话题上还是比我们有了先行的一步 随着社会发展 不同的性取向要怎样相处也会成为一个必然的问题 就像电影里说的那样 抱着无谓错与对 只是平等的感情来对待的话 可能就不会觉得异样了 很喜欢三浦在礼堂的演讲 不必隐藏自己就是最好的结果
神尾凤珠真的灵，题材也很有趣——腐女不知现实社会lgbt之痛。两个麻衣监督的剧的主角相遇在一起，确实是一场氧气清新盛宴，剧本还是略显单薄了，但好在意思到了，不过于文艺和疼痛的方法而是流畅地把一些可能的东西说出来已经很难得了。
身边的朋友都是什么天使。神尾枫珠长相太优越了。
顺便cue了下女性在网约中时常被骚扰，及各种打着工作检讨实则非人向触及个人隐私的职场pua。总的来说这一堆整合下来嵌在一个办公室爱情片里算是及格了。
“盛夏未来”如果也这么拍，我应该不会意难平了吧。作为BL漫画改编的电影，最现实主义的情节其实是跳楼。因为惟有如此，才能在异性恋霸权的东亚社会换来一个“威尔与格蕾丝”的结局。多一颗星给神尾枫珠，想看他和西岛秀俊（此处省略500字）...
喜欢！最喜欢的镜头是两人在餐厅讨论0-9的攻受，还有在医院两人都想去bl星！
真的玩弄腐女的gay给我爬啊会不会做人，上来就答应告白让你答应了吗？做朋友不会吗？怎么什么都要别人理解你啊忍不住又想踩男宝一脚了😅😅作为一个bi真的很能理解那种跟同性相处时没有希望的无力感，但这怎么也不是伤害不明不白的人一腔热情的理由好吗😅我就站在道德制高点说话了如果这都算制高点了建议男宝先修男德😅😅题材确实不错吧，能假巴意思摆到台面上来讨论下，除此之外，三浦是真正勇敢的人
三星半，内核比看过的很多同性的电影要更特别，比想象中的沉重，不知道是不是剧本的原因，女主的part真的好亮眼好流畅
因为本片 我生平第一次使用了netflix上的2x速功能 / 前面3分之1其实还好 但男主的性格/行为模式太没consistency了 让人想到那种靠五六段拼接在一起的pop song 加之现在已经2022年 怎么还是这种叙事 / 男主和山田mm的cp感恐怕还不如我和山田mm的cp感 chemistry差到我speechless
男主超帅戏路很宽但是表情千篇一律。女主也好可爱…今井翼咋这么黑…
设定让人眼前一亮。对于取向的探索和为了融入社会隐藏自己。产生了一些共鸣
这样的恋爱轻喜剧就是很好看啊！男主棒啊！学到了学到了！
