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".
本来冲着迷人滴孙锡九来的，却入了全钟瑞的坑！俩人演的很自然。
全五星。三星送给女主的演技，两星送给不把观众当傻子的坦诚。2022年了，还有人不孤独吗？为性而爱，或者为爱而性，都是人生，都是成长，骨子里的寂寞，性也好，爱也罢，给我来一打！
太喜欢孙锡久了 整部电影就像男主写的文章一样 说是谈性 其实恰巧规避了性 反倒更柏拉图 也挺好 但就是性也没深入聊 思想也没更深入探讨 淡淡的 没劲儿吧也
虽然是男主的路人粉，但这真是一个无聊的小打小闹的故事
全钟瑞自从燃烧后的表现从没让人失望，除了最近的纸钞屋太过套路外，本片是个俗套的外壳，有些实话在女主嘴里说出来却共振，没有人永远神采奕奕，更多的是无聊与折磨，日复一日的日子里希望有人会碰见灵魂有趣的那个人吧
全妹太好了，惊人得好，本来是冲着孙锡久来的，但全妹魅力太大了，以至于需要给她个蠢蠢的刘海稍微压一压爆棚的才气。电影很随性，就像全妹给人的感觉一样随性，但是迷人。最后，确立恋爱关系之前的暧昧才最有趣，爱情可真复杂啊。
演员演技很扎稳。整部电影看的很舒服，家庭球赛场景剧情节奏穿插的很完美。
真的好上头
睡前看着会会心一笑的片吧 俩人演技都好自然 好俗的剧情但是挺好的哈哈哈哈哈
太喜欢孙锡久了 整部电影就像男主写的文章一样 说是谈性 其实恰巧规避了性 反倒更柏拉图 也挺好 但就是性也没深入聊 思想也没更深入探讨 淡淡的 没劲儿吧也
居然是去年的电影但是看着好有年代感😂演员很不错子剧情到结尾的时候有点垮
之前看过两遍《我的PS恋人》，此类电影还挺好看的
两个极度渴望亲密关系的寂寞可怜人遇到彼此像抓住救命稻草，没有感受到心动，可能真的是爱情缺席的爱情片。全钟瑞此片造型不太适合她，不然单欣赏美女就可以给三星以上。
剧情蛮弱的，- - 孙锡久这个无效演出，完全没有展现出魅力啊。女主演技好台词也很厉害。
因为是炮友，因为觉得人生不会有更深入的牵扯了，所以第二次见面就能聊些难以和家人或密友启齿的东西，很容易过度坦诚，编剧应该是有过不止一个炮友的，非常真实。男主有种禁欲感又带点不完全自信的拘谨，数度让我想到Jack，但都器大活好，是很值得被喜欢的类型，女主有记忆点又很欲，问男主我厉害吗的时候真的很像我当年（我就真的是很厉害啊：）爱上得太突然了，两个人都是，分明是童话啊。妈的现在觉得做爱也很无趣，爱情也很无趣，想要回到2018年
害，成年人谈性的恋爱啊。为了洗一洗对演员的固有印象看完了，有点乐趣虽然不多。
本身感动催泪励志的真实故事，被拍的稀巴烂。没有重点，台词强行鸡汤。因为提前场观影，看到的幕后花絮中，男女主原型夫妇过度干预作品拍摄，导致出来的成果四不像，还不如一个伟大运动员人物自传的纪录片。
感觉他俩都不怎么适合这种比较入世的、生活气息很重的角色。
P.S 鲜于贞雅制作的OST太契合这部电影了，也超适合在冬日里暖暖的听。
孙锡久硬是用演技演出了一个憨憨。。全靠演员撑起来的爱情小品。
