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".
还不错啦，这部剧里的歌挺好听的，最后男主女主的双向奔赴爱情很不错
南澳取景很好，但人物安排进去就有些尴尬了。。剧情每个转折点安排的目的性都太强，很容易就被观影者看透。
电影新加了很多情节，他爱她她爱他还挺湾湾的。女主选角好贴哦，呆呆的小小只。
61 虽然剧本很无聊，周兴哲也不帅，但看得很感动，好想吃早饭，好喜欢这种台剧的风格，很年轻
纯正偶像剧味 同意不要想十五年后的自己 后天的自己都别想了 指不定明天就死了
城市里楼与楼之间的风很大，大到听不见自己说话。全片都以一种苍凉的氛围在讲述，女主笑的有多美，结局就有多悲伤。万梓良那一句，年轻时闯荡四海，年纪大了四海为家，或许才是这部电影的核心。没有经历过生活的苦，才会以为生活都是甜的吧。
emmmmm，感觉想走文艺却没走成功。有点矫情了。
Waste of time. 显然导演并不熟悉电影叙事、镜头语言，故事结构杂乱无章、角色平面功能单一，没能建立冲突还硬是扬起配乐，看得我浑身难受，一言难尽......
没有想象中的好，但也没有那么差。还是一如既往的韩寒，青春不老梦想不灭
车技炫酷，最欠缺的就是故事情节了，怎样讲好故事！台词也废话连篇，不接地气。兄妹俩的死亡都很突然，充分验证了那句话：不作不死。
读过dcard上的帖子，谁的高中都浪漫过，难得的是能将这份浪漫铺满人生。
又或许，校园恋爱剧不再适合我 🤣
这一部作品是在思考人的生活中一生应谨慎寻找到一个重心，看到的年青男女爲自己的生活打拼，更重要的是该捡讨生活的步调。
2022.7.24 NYC lincoln center with zcy。台湾真的特别擅长拍这种青春片，把我带回了两年前看想见你的时候。虽然剧情没有什么亮点，但是拍出来就是很甜啊！！！全程姨母笑。恋爱还是看别人谈有意思。最后男女主同时的双向奔赴可太甜了。片子里也有很多幽默诙谐的片段，总体上看的很轻松愉快，一个电影院都在笑（可能是展映的原因，观众素质都很高，不过影厅也没有坐满）。喜欢女主这样的性格，开朗大大咧咧，却也有内心的细腻。表达自己的爱也很勇敢。长的非常耐看。菠萝面包，奶茶，饭团～构成了电影的三节旋律。总之很喜欢～而且这样的片子还是要在电影院里看才有感觉
很意外
仿佛是小学生写作文—一团乱七八糟，后半段明显开始摆烂，画面很美人也很美笑点还可以但也无法拯救稀巴烂的剧情，剧情之离奇转换之生硬人物之单薄令人难以相信，角色口中经常出现的莫名其妙不知所云又富有着不知道为什么要讲的哲理的台词，刘浩存太木了实在是
好愚蠢的县城青年，好架空的虚假感动青春疼痛故事，不会拍电影可以不拍找个班上上吧，别来浪费资源了韩寒
四海真的很好看 后劲儿还真有点大 剧情和节奏都很好 笑点均匀 全员演技在线 台词也很不错 客串演员的出场会让人很惊喜 电影有反映现在社会中一些很现实的问题 有笑点也有思考 至于电影想表达的内容就要看每个人怎么理解 嗯最后就是刘昊然在大银幕上真的很帅 下午继续看帅哥！
韩寒回到《后会无期》的主题：小镇青年，没有出路。作为创作者，脱离普通人生活太久，把自己一夜爆红者的不安全感加诸人物身上，并不了解在大城市奋斗的年轻人的实际状态，也就停留在中二生的绝望里。智能手机时代，人再村，开不了房门，也是会百度的。。。
不过现实中看真的很偶像剧很甜啦
