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".
谁能想到那个演超级战队的演员，可塑性可以这么强。
#MarcheduFilmOnline22 又慢又不自然，配乐像是累赘，表演也没和故事融入（虽然丝丝很努力）
这种故事应该拍得再拧巴再变态一点才会显出美感。
3.5 肉体无法给予和接受的两个人互相救赎还是个不错的结局 为什么桃李总演让人心疼的角色 而且还很适合 忧郁系
为什么一个情节挺简单的故事会拍成这个样子，如果没有原作，电影大概只值一星
怎么？上海来的就要戴口罩？还是美国人聪明，打不过就装死……
镜头叙事很美（横滨流星演家暴男蛮有感觉的🥵
松坂瘦脱相到面无血色确实是适合这种就差一口气的角色
没有一好看，虽然妹妹很厉害，但最后姐姐出来的那一刻，完全碾压。还有说中文那几个人，简直没眼看…
编剧很拉胯，画面很精致，男的也有病这件事可以早点说，要不然怎么让人共感？看这片子简直受罪，好像捶死那个男朋友。。。
作为群众，我们当然知道自己看到的不是全部，我们可以让舆论环境不一边倒，也可以不去过多释放恶意，但我们本质上无法近距离地接触真相。那是否应该质问司法和媒体又做了些什么，男主的生理疾病是一点线索都查不出来吗？没有一个能靠近案件的人觉得事情有蹊跷吗？其次，合理身份的关系者给女性造成的伤害确实有可能比不合理的关系者多，但是这里面缺少对暴力的控诉，反而用温情去化解，看得人特别难受。最后呢，一个女孩从小就受了各种社会性伤害，她通过和一个年龄不对等的男性进行相互救赎，就可以达到精神抚慰，忘记伤痛了？又是一种主体移位的感觉。表演方面感觉普普通通，甚至每个人都有种漂浮感。导演应该拍了很多吧，各种幕后片段未公映片段，总体风格又慢又暗又长。
朴勋政还是没把故事讲完，用了两个小时的时间重复了前一部的叙事线索，有问题的还不光是他的意图，文戏拖拉得也是要命，他想拍一部龙珠真人版说一声就行，用不着用一部电影供养三十分钟的特效动作戏。
广濑铃太出色了，自带忧郁的气质，有股伤感和倔强的劲儿，愈加成熟自然，情感的转变演得丝丝入扣，新生代里不可或缺的好演员
流星真的演技变得更好了，对于广濑铃的演技我也觉得值得表扬，不再是以往的可爱漂亮女生，更往演技派发展了，流星也加油啊！虽然听说日本那边有粉丝看了这部电影脱粉了，我还是希望流星能多出演刻画人心的剧本，松坂桃李还是以往的演技派啊！最近看的真心不错的日本电影，强推！！！

身为一直以来对丝丝无感的纯路人来说，已经觉得很可以了，小“丝丝”的选角也迷之契合，说回电影本身最突出的地方还是摄影，空镜头拍得挺美，构图上也有讲究，但片子的节奏感也因此变得拖拖沓沓的，其实故事的底子蛮好，最后的揭底也有被惊到，可导演却把所有精力都用来表述存在于男女主之间那些无法被他人理解的痛楚之上，像原生家庭这些本该被细腻补充的地方反而都被匆匆带过，还要把硕果仅存的这点实质内容填充进两个半小时内，矫情拧巴且又磨磨唧唧就是最为直观的感受。
李相日，二流导演无疑，去菁存芜的一把好手。
日式恐怖片，恐怖在于真的会怀疑电影是根据真实事件改编的。
再黑暗的社会，总会有星零希望。生活中来自陌生人的小善意，路人旁观时未知全貌不予置评的安静留白，涓滴微光，或许能让月亮心想：即使我永运无法抵达，但眼前这颗有温度的星球真的好漂亮
3.5 对我来说是主演们的演技cover到了突兀发展以及可能会有观众觉得不适的感情观感 丝丝…丝丝一哭…我整个人都被打动住
