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".
Can you give me one last kiss?
终于知道为啥当时出来一票子差评了，生生的末日剧的结尾来了个happy ending，以及让人顿时觉得这是部青春剧，讲述了一位14岁少年的成长史。这一切仿佛是场梦，最终都要回归现实。
与这个不喜欢的世界和解
前50分钟农家乐有点世外桃源的意思，后面的剧情就又回到中二日常，直到最后宇多田光的歌声响起，我又把结局拉回去再看了一遍，就这样吗？就这样。大家努力建立羁绊，努力解开心结，所有人都不再纠结，就好好活在一个没有EVA的世界里吧。然后，长大成人。
希望我们永远拥有蓝色的海洋和beautiful world.
日本人老喜欢在科幻外壳里装感情纠葛，就很没意思。前面还有大段农村生活，使得节奏很拖沓，谁要看乡村风景啊！这科幻要是再硬点就好了……
8.0 冲击的大场面无论是多少遍都不会腻，但这部的态度完全是《真心为你》的反面，真嗣的孤独，自闭，悲伤被各种人的“甜言蜜语”化解了，没有人去理解真嗣反倒是真嗣理解了父亲……最后他符合所有人，所有观众期待的那样成长，这样的态度我只能说，Fuck you ！庵野秀明！
恭喜庵野秀明解开了心结（诅咒）。
2022年5月，无意间点开重看，看得我很不耐烦，大部分时间里在快进。拿掉情怀的滤镜后，我感受到了庵野秀明的焦虑，一种没屎可拉，但是又没拉干净，坐在马桶上进退两难的焦虑。
感觉真像和自己的手办一一告别最后去上班的社畜……长大了，终于把父权暴政推翻并将其审判。最能打的还是漂亮姐姐（们）。靠后那段战斗塑料得令人吃惊，朋友指点是夹带私货的特摄拍法，有点意思。PS，最后的原画师列表非常豪华，昔日G社大联欢之外也是新一代原画师的成长啊～
非cp党观感极佳。父子和解，唯替真嗣挡枪，13号机从身后拥抱初号机…看到最后只叹好温柔（只是一如既往心疼香。😢
明日香，绫波，美里，司令，大家都与过去的自己和解了。真嗣长大了。我也是。"永别了，所有的Evangelion。"
One Last Kiss为原子化的我们提供了重新尝试联结的鼓励与慰藉，但比起温柔到近乎融化的最终告别，我果然更在乎前一小时的第三村生活。如果说一个人们试图拥抱不完整的对方、努力突破隔阂生活下去的世界名为现实的话，那片仅存于核心化土地中央的净土恰恰是我不愿放弃的希望：相互理解在生存的实践中得以达成，基于互助的共同体正是比弑神抑或成神更拥有人性光辉和无限可能的补完形式。
耳机把我和外界隔绝开来
One Last Kiss响起来差点哭了。再见了，所有的EVA。
耳机把我和外界隔绝开来
庵野秀明你藏得好深，你竟然也是个哈利波特迷！
满 足 (不涉及剧透)
沉寂数年，被外界的压力与自身的痛苦桎梏，最终打破自身心之壁的答案是——
既然终究要接受现实，为何不勇敢地去面对？这份达观或许就是抵达“成长”这个终点（起点）所需的条件吧。
