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".
拍得就中规中矩咁啦，仲係有少少稚嫩同肤浅，最钟意秒针同操场嗰part，睇到一半仲以为李芯悦係假借邀请李詠蓝做伴娘之名实质上係想佢同自己一起做新娘，点知原来係我谂多咗。吻戏的而且确麻麻，先唔好讲逼唔逼真，最主要係唔够美感，无论女女定男女都一样。
故事裡年少時無憂無慮的愛大概都沒有什麼刻骨銘心的事 也許更多只是朋友以上日日夜夜的陪伴 「永遠的好朋友」 儘管當刻在操場上能衝動（鼓起勇氣？）「動地驚天愛戀過」 又敵不過下一刻的悔過書 莫名 成長後的漸行漸遠最後（成熟有禮又扎心的客套地）送上祝福才是真實的距離
为什么你会来？
除了不喜欢结局，不想接受她跟别人结婚之外，其他都很好。唉，还是在等，还是在遗憾，但仍觉美好。
为什么要特地播放两个新闻，一个说局长为香港祈福，一个说是中国籍男子坠楼，谁会把省份和国籍都单独拎出来说，怕观众不知道你是GD吗，光是这点你一星都不值
因为女主长得太像某个朋友，令人可以忽略某些套路的部分，从而显得格外真实..能看到导演在竭尽所能掌控一切..也是..可以放开更多的..
劇情難睇到毁我三官五官九官，唯有談善言拯救所有🥺
不明白 明明阻碍都没有了 为什么要强行be
我好想写一封悔过书，悔过自己曾经写过一封这样的悔过书…
两人感情的起和发展感觉并没有说清，就如电影里问的，之间是爱情吗？除了行为上，总感觉感情表达上少了点什么。还是觉得bl好看些。
願俗文縟節都和你同拋棄 最後誰卻步原地
丑话说在前头，整部片给我感觉真的很直男，包括一些台词和画面呈现整体氛围等等，很像是导演凭空想象出来一样，但因为剧情很俗套所以也没有很离地。但看到Ending还是眼湿湿了，李泳蓝会不会遇到下一个李芯悦呢，要到什么时候才能放下呢，会一辈子用好朋友的名义在她身边吗？为什么一开始告白的人会最先离开？无解。btw片尾的访问倒是几好的idea
陈健朗出场嗰刻我尖叫咗一声——MASSAM！！！虽然喺gl片嗑bg好似唔多好，但我真係对呢pair念念不忘。青年Sammy+青年Joyce+青年Thomas，就凭对《叹息桥》嘅喜爱，我可以钟意呢班演员好长时间。
我还是会去的（落下泪来）
什么是真正的爱情，我们中学那段算什么，两位女主的故事简单也复杂，年少的我们得到过的一切都将深深的影响我们。
我理解女一始终如一，也理解女二的妥协现实。这无关对错
好像陈妍希，李芯悦爱死wing了，但现实让她不愿意再赌一次试试看。wing一直是后反劲儿但够持久的那一个，长大了为了爱换专业。
😭😭😭😭😭 铁石心肠的我没有哭，但是我确实太喜欢操场激吻的名场面了，看到之后连喊“卧槽卧槽卧槽！” 虽然我对女主一连串骚操作无力理解，但是还是很喜欢两个女主中学与婚礼蒙太奇（是吗）镜头，啊兴高采烈青春洋溢单纯的样子，和长大后沉稳冷静又有点冷漠木讷的对比，我真是爆哭😭 虽然但是，我很感激这个电影里对吻戏的慷慨，我很感激
你的未来
结局减一星，人到三十，其实现在回头看很多事情再坚持多那么一会会，结局也未必就不好，我以为我不放弃我们的感情，我妈会完全接受不了，但最近在我出柜后好像也并没有太大的涟漪，甚至给了我幻想的空间如果我能够坚持，我既有几套房收租也有医学博士学位，我和你在一起的话会不会过得很幸福？我再坚持增加些研究的工作量，我的文章是不是能再多2分？需要坚持的事情挺多的，希望以后不要再有这些遗憾…
