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".
喜欢，大概因为看的生肉不敢走神所以更觉得剧情没尿点，是一部看完后心情不错觉得自己的时间没有被浪费的电影
兰阿姨一人撑起一部戏，电影好不好看已经不重要了，看她就够了！
好久没看过这么优秀还只有1个半小时的电影了
但是但是但是，跟望月步并排的时候完全被压了，望月步情绪几转上扬非常的自然又很能共鸣，完全就是哥哥本人。
后半部有点走神 老太太是戏骨 死亡就应该是这样优雅的离去
祖孙三代的故事，亲情仍是主题。祖孙三代似乎都遗传一样的病因，一方面渴求亲情，一方面却又拚命拒绝。夏洛特·兰普林的奶奶形象很出彩，演出了她浑不吝的女光棍样子，同时又表现其在强硬外表下的柔软内心。祖孙之间的戏份一般，整个剧拍得很沉重，不好玩。
转变突兀 设定过多 但是日剧的镜头语言好美啊 长尾dd也很好看！ 希望演技进步
他自杀？是谁杀了他？是我，杀了我自己。
我和老公都被电影的慢给震惊到了
有《世界奇妙物语》的味儿，很温馨很治愈。也有了一种生活思路：把生命当做一种寄宿生活。但是美月学姐喜欢女生是我万万没有想到的…
長尾謙杜真的好好看好好看越长越好看😭19岁演成这样真的不容易…
不过不失的家庭和解片，群山的镜头很治愈，有钱任性反叛的奶奶时不时流露对身边人爱的妥协
怎么说呢，反正我在看的时候哭了，能把人看哭的电影，应该就可以算是好的电影了吧。日本的电影果然配乐好厉害，最喜欢的几段都是有配乐的，恰好和我的心引起共鸣了。最最喜欢的部分就是结尾那段在桥上的画面，小林真和小晶穿着制服闲逛，笑的很灿烂，搭配上音乐，感觉心被治愈了，青春真美好哇。虽然长尾在团里是元气担当，但是他挺适合演这种比较忧郁的角色，山田杏奈也很可爱。但还是觉得学姐的部分拍的有些可惜，总感觉和女孩子接吻的视频被传播，然后学校的同学都知道了的剧情有点太仓促了，我真的想知道她为什么会突然就想跳楼。不过也无伤大雅，整部电影想要传达的也都表现出来了。
“毕竟人生只是一场漫长的HOMESTAY”
因为又是被霸凌，总感觉有点若林的影子，当然换核心了，所以肢体上更多的是长尾谦杜。
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。
虽然全靠个人魅力但是兰普林的个人魅力真的太强了
“无论如何 人生是一场漫长的寄宿生活” 好好活着享受每天的太阳吧 太正能量了
长尾谦社剪短发后真的好看很多呀！青梅竹马也是耐看型的，越看越美！特别是为了看烟火大会特意打扮的那个造型，真漂亮！
2分都给了夏洛特·兰普林，傲骨的英气死也要像个胜利的战士一样手握主动权。除此之外的布景服饰背乐都没有什么出彩的地方，到是这个剧情差的“可圈可点” 人物的背景铺陈不够，导致人设的转变可谓毫无头绪的急转弯，很跳戏。
