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".
一句影评：你死了，我才发现爱你至深，我好想你，我会按你喜欢的方式继续记录自己
这个人设很适合美波。神秘感满满。结尾关于海的镜头很美很震撼。剧情上乏善可陈。但是我喜欢美女贴贴。
这咋说呢，不要再打拉拉擦边球了……以及滨边美波妹子还是胖点好看。
喜欢后半段堇的视角和漫画走马灯部分。看上去拍得很细腻，其实差点意思，而且也没有将情感的细微变化拍出来，用豆友的话来说“海很深，情太浅”。
很喜欢，情感流动非常细腻的电影。使用大海、天空这样的意象，却借助相机这一客体，不断切换两个女孩之间凝视与被凝视的关系，缩小叙事表现空间，聚焦回忆的同时，也放大了她们心中对彼此凝重的爱。因此结尾处湖谷的微笑才让我忍不住堕泪，一切都显得稀松平常，像我们第一次遇见的那个晴天，也像现在不得不同你告别的今天。用双视角的叙事手法，串联起同一时空下被海吞没的幽微情愫，揭示了堇的成长悲剧。从长发到短发，从长裙到长裤，从伪装合群到独自旅行，堇想找到从小被母亲丢掉的另一个自己。学不会谄笑的湖谷，比起自己就显得那么强大且真实。面对这样的湖谷，堇显得小心翼翼，温柔地像对待宝物，是因为湖谷的存在，她才得以看到完整的自己。虽情节略显稚嫩，但胜在情感流动的真实性。
观感蛮差的，1.5倍看挺合适，多角度叙事也没啥必要其实，就勇于表达自己的情感，不要后悔莫及的时候才领会，悼念因灾难逝去的人们。
“（未来有什么打算）我也不知道，但此刻只想待在你的房间里”
冲着百合去看的
看得出大崔想把东北喜剧拍得不那么low的意图，但肯定逃不开东北特有的元素，强行转折并没有解释太清楚。
好无聊的片子…能夸的也就画面构图和美波的脸了
可以了，笑点不断，也接地气，比起某些剧情拉胯还要装高级感的作品强多了。
最后的动画很感人，没有展示与电影不符的场景，用了画的形式展现，是结束是开始。
“安心到底是什么呢？””是有个人能深深地爱着你，凡事优先考虑你。“”深深地，深深地“
音浪 泉阳泉 烤串 洗浴 民间非法借贷，啊我深爱的长春！
看得我心痛的想发疯 两个人都没有勇气迈出一步的结果不是做一辈子朋友 是阴阳相隔 唉
近在咫尺的唇
两星分别给美波和雪乃，真的不能再多了，披着看似百合的外皮，其实主线还是在写海啸后带给人们的创伤（看完中间对每个受难者家属的采访和片尾就知道了），堇其实只是想让真奈自我坚强成长，并没有什么百合实锤，真的要写百合线的话，多拍10分钟就有了：小酒馆喝完酒——在车站堇说出了小猫钱包的事——末班车错过——和真奈回家——再参考《你永远比那些家伙年轻》里面奈绪和由衣的桥段——第二天告别去海边——再结尾和老婆婆的对话，这样整部影片就更丰满了
好无聊的片子…能夸的也就画面构图和美波的脸了
“再在这里待下去会被传染变成笨蛋的。”
她的发型，挑染和短发都曾是对规训微小的抗争。
