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".
这种鸭子天价的吧？性其实没啥，吃饭睡觉和性一个东西，趁年轻，好好享受性吧！到老才来被开发新世界真的是一件挺悲哀的事情。（一定要正确并且全程使用安全套，无论对方是谁）
Emma Thompson 演技精湛，真的太优秀了！
剧本的任何一个铺陈都在为了让这个故事变得合理化，女主的职业和面对性的不自信，胆怯，都很真实，男主的颜值，身材，让两人的互动变得那么有化学反应。从不敢到彻底解放，性的解放，也是女性对束缚的解放。评分：7.5/10。
太喜欢了。很多个细节都很喜欢。一开始很喜欢这个女性，喜欢她的坦诚，喜欢她的克制和顾虑，喜欢她整个人的表达，不是说喜欢她的性格，是喜欢这种自然真诚，没有那些虚以委蛇的东西。后半段开始喜欢这个男的，很喜欢，感觉他很善良。甚至在那一段，女方调查了男的的真实身份那一段，我有一种感同身受的被冒犯的感觉。边界感很重要，对方自以为是好意但不尊重自己的边界感，这件事太让人愤怒了。也很喜欢最后，最后这位女性认识到了自己不应该过界，也很喜欢最后的告别。当然最喜欢的还是女性角色在里面收获的力量和自信。性愉悦不止关乎于性，也关乎更内在的东西，会让人获得精神满足充满愉悦获得力量，这些都是很珍贵的。太喜欢女性角色最后对着镜子看自己的那个自信的笑容了。最后是她自己给了自己高潮，这个寓意太好了，非常非常喜欢。
最后一幕，真是震撼，女性真正得到了解放和自由，如果能更早一点就好了！这样的电影，忠于真实的人性，不需要什么炫目的场面情节，表演和剧本自然流畅，导演的调度已足够引人入胜，不得不叹服，真好！身体只是灵魂的容器，她也值得愉悦的绽放，体验为人的快乐，恰如去到天堂的尽头~
3.5，很好笑，艾玛汤普森很棒。因为想要精简场景完全靠对话推动，故事难免有点刻意，有些地方也难以让人信服。男主也太可口了
片名拗口扣一星，要我说就叫《善解人衣》吧。
一边胃疼一边看完了这部期待已久的电影，但是看得入神我都忘记了胃疼，结束之后痛觉仿佛才回到身体里。绝绝绝！果然需要治愈心理疾病才能迎接生命的pleasure。追求什么完美呢，快乐最重要，对吧？
要勇敢诚实的面对你自己。艾玛汤普森演技绝了
You do like some kind of sex saint, and being a teacher suddenly pays her back, enables her to explain the accident so reasonably and convincingly 和学生的对话可以看出冷漠老师不是个会察言观色、考虑他人感受的高情商的人，虽然循规蹈矩却不是真的在乎，直到她感受到人和人之间的温度 thx to the SEX SAINT! Oh, when he felt wrongly treated by his mother老娘母性关怀雌性荷尔蒙爆棚！这是对俄狄浦斯情结最当代的展示了吧！！concupiscence
这是一具躯体，年轻或衰老，健壮或瘦弱或肥胖。
像一堂轻松治愈的心理课。如何对自我诚实，接受欲望，摆脱耻感。可以列入各大女性必看片单了。为艾玛汤普森女士疯狂鼓掌👏👏👏
片子给我的整体感觉就是特别的干净，直接体现在画面上。
主题格局以微见著，小成本佳作，开始观看过程有点尴尬
Nancy好惹人怜爱！Leo 体贴又温柔！男主肯定是有mommy issue 的，我也
Emma Thompson 演的也太好了，男主有点接不住。结局最后的镜头完美！

你看，男人招🐓不用前戏，女人买🦆还要先过心里这一关，男人完事拉起裤子走人，女人事后还要更深层次的探讨，一些个两性鸿沟。多一星给男主美好的胴体。
看的时候第一个感觉就是，想约炮... 想像电影里面一样聊天，但是想了一下不可能，现在血气方刚，肯定直接开干了啊，等变老头的时候再说吧。
各自治愈了自己，所以亲密关系其实是来自匆匆过客，最后还是要自力更生吗？（手动狗头）
