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".
太太太好看了，又笑又哭一本满足。能不能一直拍下去😭
5分吧(我怀疑7点几的分是不是电视剧版比较能看)，主角们哭的稀里哗啦考虑过我波澜不惊的感受吗…其实主角本身的戏还行，尤其是原生家庭的影响还过得去。但是配角的戏实在是…对主线没啥支撑而且非常毁三观
真·一镜到底，这个本身就保证了剧情的连贯和紧张（全程都在找剪辑点？人家关上门的时候镜头都在动），再加上一个在重压下焦躁不安的主角，一个半小时真是很快就过去了
味儿太重，打了谁的脸[捂脸]80/100。ps:比特就那么喜欢吃🐔吧吗
技巧和膽識都有，劇作痕跡太重衝突太明顯，食物敏感的橋段略嫌老土。
[Safety first before you thirst.]
原来一桌难求的高级餐馆的后厨是这么紧张又难熬。有点晃动的长镜头带来极强的沉浸画面感，时而模糊着光晕的画面也还原了餐馆昏暗灯光下的视觉效果，就是一个半小时看下来有点眼晕。😂
爱意满满啊～剧里还小情侣似的幼稚地吵架（难过是真的难过，幼稚也是真的幼稚哈哈，拍得很真实了），电影里就是互相关怀体谅了，浓浓的爱意啊～剧花絮里看他们俩私下关系也很好，真不错，戏里戏外都是充满爱～
依然是新冠背景下的爱情～如果说剧版是网恋奔现，那大电影更多是奔现后的羁绊与责任～“baby”依然甜到齁，最后竟然是互攻，真的，惊艳！！最诱的绝壁是那句“Let's give'em a show.”
一定是他们第一次太紧张了！对，是的！yyds😍
今天才点的想看，资源居然就出来了，结尾结果是录屏资源，结合电影也是挺有趣的。电影总体来说，好就好在导演编剧没有把格局放的很大，反而尽量限制了不稳定因素的出现，虽然不能惊艳到观众，但是对于看过前作的剧迷真的是很好的慰籍。看完了电影结尾的大家，也不用觉得有失落，因为他们会一直爱着对方，这部电影可以当做第一部剧和第二部剧之间的衔接，或者说彩蛋，期待gameboys第二部，希望可以继续惊喜到我
个人觉得剧情还是东拼西凑，给人感觉不是一个完整的故事，主要目的是展现主角的恩爱，腻！剧情上腻爱+新人物引入冲突+支线故事+莫名的冲突+MV+船戏+离别戏，我没有get到这个剧情，我觉得卷毛的身世经历可以串起来这些内容，但是呈现出来就是一下子讲一个内容然后转到下一个内容，这个问题在剧版就有，突然冒出来的故事，突然的MV，而且总是有新故事来拆开他们。最后就是年轻人的恋爱，爱的那么的自ren由xing，爱当然是没有理由的，也让我感觉少了一点成熟感，就是一群稚气少年谈谈恋爱罢了。
#bfi 时间久了就感觉自己也和他们一起穿梭于厨房和就餐区之间
菲律宾天花板 第二季赶快上！快点见面啊！！！！！！！
补标，可爱的婚后生活，终于在真正在一起了，上头啊！
看的途中轻松发出G5尖叫 玛丽亚凯莉听了都要拜我为师
好吧晚点看看剧版，结尾很公平，两人都有在上面的机会
这就是个输出焦虑的片子，除非自觉日子过的顺遂，否则不建议看。
一个固定空间很好的完成一镜到底，哎，人人都有这个那个mess！
一次短暂又深刻的相聚，泪目。两个人在一起之后，小天使 Cai 变得更加包容和理解，长大了哈，而天使 Gav 变得更像个孩子，会情绪失控，被童年的阴影萦绕，依然那么善解人意，那么爱 Cai。他们在一起，真的是相互拯救。
