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".
改编自一百年前的真实事件。两个探险家为了找到格陵兰岛是一个整体岛屿的证据，深入北极腹地。经历千辛万苦证据找到了，可是返回集合地时，船没了，此时距离他们独自上路已经过去了两百多天。还好，船离开之前给他们留下了足够的食物。于是他们在原地等待获救，一等就又是六百多天。等待的过程比较平淡，除了船长精神分裂产生幻觉之外。整部电影都太平淡了，虽然改编自真实事件，但还是可以设计一些戏剧冲突强烈的桥段的，不然就会看得人昏昏欲睡。不够精彩。
我一直以为自己偏爱像Dex这样的肌肉白男 结果反而Noah和Will这样的肌肉亚裔更深得我心🤣
我觉的很好看！！轻松的爱情喜剧。想到我已经四年没有男朋友了，这几年不停的约P，实际上很空虚也很无聊，我已经不知道爱情什么滋味，心门早就关了。可是现在自己也越来越老了，也玩够了，心底还是渴望跟一个人深度交流，不只是肉体。
可能根据真实经历所拍的电影都这样吧，叙事节奏一般，但依然让人觉得真实经历的那两个人了不起
男同性恋你们聚在一起真的吵死了！而且永远会有数不清的drama！不过你们疯疯癫癫的绝望式乐观精神真的很好笑
虽然非常的cliche，但还是很欢乐的。gay版傲慢与偏见+1
虑到Joel Kim Booster和杨伯文本身的喜剧功力，Andrew Ahn在《车道》就早已炮制的出色气质，还有对各种尖锐话题进行漂白粉饰性的回避，仍然感觉像张题材试水的“安全牌”，无意完成本应轻松拿捏的推陈出新。但它依然扎实，并且在骄傲月拉开大幕之时源源不断地释放热闹、活泼的能量；快投身于这个夏季，尽情地爱，真挚地面对自己；在炎热之际，唱布兰妮唱Donna。始终很欢乐，并丝毫不介意这般简单。
同性恋真的很挑，这电影都只有6分。比所谓豆瓣神片《以你的名字呼唤我》强得多，这才是这个时代应该多拍的同影。
看開頭以為挺無聊的，但是堅持十分鐘之後收獲爆笑😆😆喜歡Noah對諷刺他的人的反諷。一群sisters又mean又warm。整體故事其實挺九十年代姊妹淘風格的。放棄性別條條框框，會有更大的視野。PRIDE MONTH值得擁有這片子。
Stereotypes make the world boring and stubborn
Maybe it's better it's gay, or worse. But it's gay.
我们对爱太渴望了 我们必须把自己变得更傻一点 得做些傻事我们才能配得上
很棒的喜剧，恋爱和一场fling的区别在哪呢，都是两个互相喜欢的人创造一些回忆
亚裔这么大的群体为什么总被刻板印象所束缚？为什么亚裔都这么丑？？
以前我认为只有同志单纯的追求爱情，不会像直人婚姻那样追求附加值，但其实并不是这样，但凡想要获取长久稳定的亲密关系，这些附加值是前提，如果只是追求及时行乐，建议忽略这部电影。借用《傲慢与偏见》的故事框架，还是有些想法的，蜻蜓点水般的触及到那条存在于同志内部的鄙视链，但也有点避重就轻，自嗨式的沉浸在合家欢的剧情里…
或许会受伤，会看透险恶阴暗，但还是怀一些美好的愿想在心底吧。
糊弄亚裔男同性恋的时候能不能起码走一点点心🤏
netflix对本片的关键字adventurous&suspenseful，感觉被骗了。
颜一般，身材都很棒，Dex迷死我！这种当代叽叽喳喳姐妹happy的无脑同志电影太少了
一片白茫茫的800多天……精神没有失常……真的很不容易……事件本身挺伟大的，中间拍得有点平庸。
