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".
marike还是太纠结了，无法摆脱外部的束缚就不能直面自己内心 也无法真实地生活，做不到真实就会很累。jaime虽然失去了喜欢的人，但多少会更自洽
我们去最浪漫最动人但别人不知道的地方啊🎶
气死了，看的肝疼，但是怎么拍的这么好，又没法违心地打低分。Marike 大概是真的相信新世界，但心底也无法克制对爱意，所以情愿用牺牲自己的幸福来换取和Jamie 走向新世界，当然也不愿意出逃 成为家族另一个“去世的人”。其实我明白的，这是代价最小 也很”聪明”的做法，这种“我不愿意让你离开”，无疑也把对方困在了“耶和华”的世界，但世界还有好大，为什么 凭什么把自己和对方都困死原地。Love’s selfish ，so u can love forever.
有可爱的cp，有馋人的美食，最爱京都没有之一
年轻版《违命》，然而这部的宗教只让人性冷淡。能看出一些其它les片的影子，舍弃已成为定番的激烈性爱只拥抱热吻，是一种进步。
同性恋只是一种性取向，不代表品味，品质。同理，同性恋题材的影片，也不代表就好。我发现这些年，只要是同性恋题材的电影，就无原则打高分。这个现象，跟黑命贵一样“正确”。
白开水的剧情 果然只要撒糖就会让人很满足了
女主的型完全正中我心！看到昔日爱人被婚姻生育折磨的样子反应难道不是：幸亏我跑了？
我不喜欢，我个人不喜欢，不希望这种恋情出现在任何一对女女，男女，男男身上。
（摇头）“我每时每刻都在想你，你呢？”
看的不痛不痒，就是没有打动我
表面大于实质，细节重于内容，在气氛、摄影上拿捏得死死的，而这样的故事感觉后面有些拖后腿，在没有很重要、很自信的情况下完全没有必要加上去，留下一声叹息反而会更好
撑长版的剧集，可还是好温柔好治愈哦。而且真的好多无厘头的搞笑片段，夸张又好笑。贤二一家子都是女王耶ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ，充分说明了少女攻也是攻，卡哇1也是1啦～
白开水的剧情 果然只要撒糖就会让人很满足了
哪里都好，就是这个结局苦死了，越看越像违命前传（不是/捂脸哭哭…两个人的火花和性张力都快呲我脸上了，演得真好
其实剧情是有点神叨的宗教部分，不过画面太美，人也好看，俩人也挺有cp感。
电影拍的挺真实的 压抑冷色调贯穿 身边有以前是JHW的朋友 讲过类似的环境 倒是更倾向悲剧结尾 比这最后硬加的not gonna let me go？强行撒糖更深刻 “终于我游遍欧洲却不是和你” 作为最后一组镜头 女主Beth在意大利小镇醒来 旁边睡着gypsy girl 哈哈哈 完美！女主选角也挺加拿大的 就是那种Tinder上最普遍的queer类型 然后我全swipe left 哈哈哈哈哈 sorry not my type
演员之间的性张力绝了，终于知道什么是一眼万年，一见钟情了。相遇、相知、相爱的过程一气呵成，挠人心神，美得不像话，氛围感拉满。宗教背景使得整个影片充满禁忌感，青春物语。
很多个场景，让我想起曾姐，离开的那天在车的后排，车的颠簸，让我们有意无意地碰到对方的手，最后在快到机场的时候，她靠在我肩上，我握住她的手。好像知道对方要走不一样的路，没有承诺，没有想把对方带走，fling就留在那里了
一如既往的温馨，两个大叔在一起的相处，就是日常的幸福，让人觉得，啊！这样的生活真好啊！好希望也有这样一个人能够和他一起慢慢变老。
