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".
好难看，明明才90分钟，却比原版看着长一倍，绑匪和人质的戏真的太干了，警察的戏也没有一个让人想看的角色，整体非常非常公式化和无聊，完全没有紧张感。
kenty这次演技进步比我想象的要大很多，四五段哭戏表现的都挺不错，一开始的不自信，颓废，甚至有些驼背，前期就是kenty的相反面，唯一让我感觉到有点kenty味的是站在女主楼下打电话的声音，嗯，就是这个撩人味儿，后期找到了自己的摄影方向，能够大方自如地站在摄影棚里，大概是释放了20%kenty的功力吧w
导编演都不怎么用心，警察是摆设也就算了，毕竟韩国爱黑警，罪犯也毫无个性，完全没原版王千源的匪徒有代入，只能靠黄政民自救，而且一看剧组就没啥钱，动作场面很寒碜，黄演自己也没动什么脑筋，只是演了个被绑架的符号而已，这片子优点是只有90分钟，比一些又臭又长的韩国犯罪片要有觉悟。
剧情虽然老套，但是演员演的很好，动人的地方也会忍不住想掉眼泪。有遗憾才是人生常态，失去的时候不是终点，人生还很长，不可能一直沉浸在悲伤与难过，向前看才是对逝去的最尊敬的态度。生活就是要寻找热爱，保持热爱，不然是熬不过这漫长的人生的。
其实一切都会被抹去，连同我们所有人的记忆，但是活着的每一个瞬间都是值得珍惜的。
网飞电影的特点
三个片段蛮触动人的：1.男主去女主家看望她，女主的妹控哥哥疯狂盯梢。这种纯粹的快乐即将消失。2.男主从妹控哥哥那里知道真相后，和女主隔着房间门「聊天」，他说她听。残酷现实中的片刻浪漫。3.男主扶起摔倒的老奶奶，问她没事吧，殊不知老奶奶正是早衰的女主。男主的关切如同利刃切断了女主原本想说的话，一半已说出口，一半却怎么也说不出来。
其实拍的还行，但这个剧情真是几十年前玩剩下的，我都会写
早衰症题材第一次看👀我以为男主会认出老去的女主，结果并没有（预判了我的预判）男主发现粉毛帽子的时候读信真的有伤到，感觉日影很神奇的是，它带来的效益不是立刻显现的，是偶尔哪一天看到类似的事情，然后密密麻麻在心上抓挠的心痛感。
除了爱情的部分还不错，哥哥跟他女朋友塑造的更成功，全局最惨的明明是哥哥好伐，男主哪里苦大仇深的，与其说是爱情片不如索性拍成亲情更好，俩人的爱情就莫名其妙
因为打开一个剪辑想着不能还没看原片就看剪辑，于是马上退出跑去看了原片……
本来是当下饭剧看看的，但真的相当无聊…颜值都很可以，但我看了20分钟就撑不下去了…
11.12 最大的问题可能是，黄政民演得太像大家想象中的黄政民反而失真了，而吾先生其实已经做了一次演员换位。如果把林雪的角色换吴达洙就好了呢
梗是我喜欢的 片子的水平中等吧
期待值挺高但没有达到预期，剧情略俗套也没有预想中那么感人，女主鼻孔相当瞩目
不是中岛老师的饭，但是中岛老师太帅了，包括前面的约会部分，太帅了。
看到上映时间是今年我都惊了，剧情有点像是十几年前的，对我来说大部分难过的是那病的无力感和绝望，后来男主没有认出女主在我心里是点睛之笔。
节奏缓慢，剧情平庸，岛的演技偶尔还能灵光1下，b太和嫂子演技吊打
BE美学！中岛老师演技很棒！后面很好哭😭！変わらないもの~
岛的演技真的有很大进步，继续修炼接更好的本子吧！要实现梦想啊kenty！(虽然剧情比较老套但是我的泪点就长在生离死别上😢)
