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".
大家看不懂那一吻多厉害吗....天呐 我甚至觉得这是全片最佳（别赞了 打分虚高
一开始以为就是普通的青春爱情片，是我肤浅了，没想到吴磊演译的这么好，很自然，那种少年的孤独感特别有共鸣，想到了自己年少时候，都有青春的遗憾和成长，希望大家都可以勇敢
全片带来最大惊喜的是吴磊，喜剧节奏很自然，几场哭戏的情绪递进更是把郑宇星这样故事线留白的暗线角色立了起来，让观众能够产生共情，演技和台词表现可圈可点
利用当下抖音、微信等新兴社交媒介制造情节联接，通过角色关系与剧本台词甩出逸趣横生的笑点，《Something Just Like This》等多首流行BGM铺垫了情感转换，有被片尾电音节段落感动到。一部美好又心碎的青春片孕育成形。
国产片也能拍出好看的coming of age了，有点惊喜的。以及论青春片代入感，张子枫甩了周冬雨几条街吧
似乎中国观众在狗血青蠢片以后并不知道自己想要什么，嘴上说不要狗血的爱情但追求的还是别无二致的东西。
喜欢这种在危险的边缘试探的电影，完美逃过老干部们的老花眼。
该怎么去形容你最贴切，欺骗观众的感情要不得
我一直认为好的青春片就是成长片，这部做到了。没有人永远18岁，但永远有人18岁，真羡慕啊，想回到我的18岁，告未告的白，爱想爱的人，即使他不爱我，要勇敢，要诚实，要说出自己想说的，大哭啊大笑啊，尽力不留遗憾，留下遗憾也没关系，因为这就是青春啊！（Ming应该是男生吧，一直没有出声音露脸，还有五月天的拥抱这首歌，晚风吻尽荷花叶～大家都懂的吧，爸爸还说放心，不会对你女儿怎么样的……合理的设定，还有一点，就是哪个直男会不喜欢子枫妹妹啊，所以）
从光年到未来，很开心看到同性恋终于摆脱了面对直人的卑微，还有对于父权的不屑一顾，哪怕他们恨不得一巴掌将我们打成残疾。我们眼泪只为自己爱的人而流，而一切的前提在于，我们爱的人必须配得上我们的爱。
每个镜头都像是冲着观众演的（短视频），像个小孩拍的电影，说它真的很烦又有点不好意思，在电影院里看到这样的模棱两可不是共鸣，而是自虐，电影不是镜子，应该是哈哈镜，后者才是现实主义，前者只是在用尽技巧去还原一个包袱。应该是一部侯麦电影，不过人家就想拍成那种样子，说多也没用。
故事很弱……也很土……演技不评价了，还有成长空间
落点在对性少数群体的青春描摹和观照，也可惜在因为审查不得不发生的裁切，差的这一点勇气，仍完成了细密成熟的商业类型构架。而比《蓝色大门》差的那些灵气，也遗憾成了尖子班里努力但不够突出的好学生。但仍然欣喜，它之于内地院线的意义，要大过《爱你，西蒙》太多。
比预期中好。整个观影过程轻松愉悦，关于00后高中生活的描绘简单灵动，伏笔设置巧妙，答案揭晓也有效。笔触涵盖父母感情和家庭，少年成长和为家庭和桎梏作出的努力，早恋话题，酷儿与酷儿家庭等等。
网抑云电影，总在试图甩脱陈词滥调的滞重但最终还是把镜头推了上去，所以没那么当下也肯定不算陈旧。剪辑点所透露出的游移和不自信才是最情绪化的，它很清楚自己是一部不能够那么勇敢的电影，它也努力地在找寻一个不用那么勇敢的方式，并且最重要的是，为此感到自责。
避开了青春片疼痛狗血的烂套路，也没有令人生厌的刻板印象，即便需要拨开逼不得已的烟雾弹，要忽略小心试探的擦边球，也依然是一部好看的电影。
本片脱离了传统青春片高处不胜寒的尬演，维持着一种贴地飞行的感觉，恰到好处地维持着着戏剧冲突和现实的平衡，尽管一些地方依然用力过猛，终究没有走出囹圄。但我仍然觉得惊艳。
很糟糕，暗恋虽然是单向的内向的，但并不是停滞的，比起双向恋爱来，单恋有着滚烫的流动感，然而这个电影完全没有做到，只有一个命题，和导演的许多作品一样，只有命题和噱头。吴磊的角色写得很糟糕，可以直接拿进国产偶像剧里使用，他也没有花心思演，大概觉得青春帅气可以摆平一切，张子枫前段比后段好，关键时刻也没掉链子，但总体上来说这部电影没有像“姐姐”那样刺激她的表演。郝蕾那一part仅仅是靠“说”来填充剧情，没有必要。全片最佳是班主任。她没有刻板的去演，在有限的重复的戏份中捕捉到了表达的细节。
3.5 吴磊和张子枫之间那股自然气息，真青春啊。华语片里好久没有见到如自然，这么舒服的对手戏了。没想到吴磊表现这么让人惊喜。
比预期中好。整个观影过程轻松愉悦，关于00后高中生活的描绘简单灵动，伏笔设置巧妙，答案揭晓也有效。笔触涵盖父母感情和家庭，少年成长和为家庭和桎梏作出的努力，早恋话题，酷儿与酷儿家庭等等。
