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".
呜呜呜呜呜呜我巨喜欢这种俗电影！🎶marry me marry me,say yes～🎶最后的彩蛋也好可爱！大家都遇见了喜欢的人。还有就是为啥Maluma唱的时候没歌词😡
全片开头最好看，但也挺好玩。BTW真难以想象詹妮弗竟然已经52了，欧美明星这个年纪里算保养最好的了吧。
男主娘的让人受不了，他很像Hank Azaria，一个和女人结婚的三流gay演员
好俗套好狗血的剧情…都2023年了，居然好莱坞还在拍这种电影？
典型的美国电影，老汤新药~题材基本是玩烂的，不过我们的老朋友威尔逊还是可以很好驾驭这个角色的，貌似他演的很多角色都和这个差不多，倒真有点审美疲劳了。普通人和明星在一块生活压力是很大的，生活许多种种还是不一样，会受到影响，但是只要放宽心态，相爱的人，是可以找到一个平衡的。
二十年前也是这个卡司，这个剧情……不过J.Lo保养得真好
烂俗rom com 可是J. Lo也太美了！
略显俗套但又真的是这几年很缺的romcom，不同于诺丁山里的屌丝疯狂舔女明星这一次换女明星追屌丝其实也算是挺有看头（但jlo看着给人感觉真的是很老了，Owen Wilson也是不搞笑了
这个结尾我实在接受无能，四星给影片前半部分，寻焦的取景框，男主的红色Jeep，两人凭想象打网球，回忆和现实的穿插，通过影像交流这些都很棒 “what is wrong with stepping in front of the camera every once in a while?” “I believe a photographer should point her lens outward toward the world, so you can try and understand it.” “What about trying to understand yourself?”
大臀珍又把《曼哈顿女佣》翻出来炒了一遍，这次变成了男版灰姑娘。
比想象中好看，新瓶装旧酒版人鬼情未了，大概因为女主是搞摄影的，影片的影像风格也比较有质感，迷影元素的加入很讨喜，以及处处可见的细节呼应，女主的好朋友性格也很可爱，本片能在网飞霸榜不是没有理由的
没打算像《圣诞速配》一样拖到明年圣诞节才观影，那今天就看下这部同样应景圣诞节的《单身到底》吧！& 多希望世界各地的人们对待LGBTQ少数群体能像电影中那样没有歧视、欣然接受、习以为常。
故事简单。没有新意。除了抒情版的主题曲听的非常舒服之外。其他没有亮点。
与其单身到底，不如姐妹磨β。(Luke我抱走惹)
跨越生死之间的爱恋，印象深刻的影视有《人鬼情未了》，此部《平行爱情》在对该题材的处理，对比之下稍显窘迫，不过也不失为一部合格的作品。片子前半段略微乏味，中后段高潮感缓缓袭来，渐入佳境。关于爱情、成长的主题，在影片的最后，蓄积了庞大的力量，盈满倾倒。
看着感觉挺甜的~ JLO真的好美~这部电影完全适合她~服装也很好看~
难以下咽 女主真的…还以为在看亲吻亭…感觉下一秒noah都要出场…剩一小时没看救赎自己
J.Lo个人魅力秀，各种装备花式眯眼，大家围绕在她身边当好工具人就行了……只看她一个人美美哒开心唱歌
实在没有新片可看了，除了异地恋那个都看过了。半个月没来电影院，下周应该又只有《唐顿庄园2》一部。
我能理解这种糖水片，主剧情可以随意，但是很多细节的玩意儿经不起多一秒的推敲，就显得毫无诚意了。
