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".
看之前没看简介，看的时候发现了各种pride and prejudice的reference 笑的要死
相较于早年间mean girl式美式青春片性转版的外出就餐系列，这一部已经迈出了很大一部了，很多观点的挖掘和摊出很值得思考。
《关于都2022年了我还是每看一部通讯录浪漫剧都想要重温LOOKING这件事》
上手一个经典故事，并进行更时髦的更新：很多的“肉”、很尽兴的彻夜狂欢、很emo的同志感受、很经典可期的“gayfron梗”以及在各大影视剧努力绽放光芒的配角们。考虑到Joel Kim Booster和杨伯文本身的喜剧功力，Andrew Ahn在《车道》就早已炮制的出色气质，还有对各种尖锐话题进行漂白粉饰性的回避，仍然感觉像张题材试水的“安全牌”，无意完成本应轻松拿捏的推陈出新。但它依然扎实，并且在骄傲月拉开大幕之时源源不断地释放热闹、活泼的能量；快投身于这个夏季，尽情地爱，真挚地面对自己；在炎热之际，唱布兰妮唱Donna。始终很欢乐，并丝毫不介意这般简单。
Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide
我不懂：为什么总是要歌颂心碎，脆弱，希望或者爱？现实生活中有什么？嗯？
两位主角很像嘎子哥和窦文涛，套用傲慢与偏见的壳子，却没有很好的将故事深化完整，物质的贫富差距虽然是一个方面，但是精神上却没有区别，杰克苏的故事还是过于理想化了，不接地气也不感人。
同性恋真的很挑，这电影都只有6分。比所谓豆瓣神片《以你的名字呼唤我》强得多，这才是这个时代应该多拍的同影。
？以为是《宿醉》或者是《仓皇一夜》，结果竟然是《傲慢与偏见》，同性恋玛丽苏我真是球球了！
虽然剪辑和剧透很一般。但是带入howie就是我本人真实写照了 现实的部分就是真实的 但是电影浪漫美好的几乎也不可能真正实现吧 愿姐妹们都能幸福 我也可以
浮在表面上的，轻巧的。和Howie一样喜欢爱然后受伤。
happy ending一星，伯文杨一星，Zane Phillips一星。PS:这么骚的岛在哪里挺想去的
好棒好好看啊，很愉悦也很动人，and this movie makes so fucking sad….
亚裔这么大的群体为什么总被刻板印象所束缚？为什么亚裔都这么丑？？
3.5给难得在大荧幕上见到的亚裔少数群族面孔多加0.5
改编自真实历史事件。 为完成ZZ任务的师徒俩人踏上了北极冰盖，没想去是两大车物资几十条🐶的，回程只有两条人了…还早已被ZF遗忘，一等就是900天。等到终于被往日的同伴们找回来的时候，ZF第一个出来邀功请赏。 整一个四月的上海和我们居委的缩影👏🏿 今天一早醒来，小区周边跨区的道路都被封闭了，WX上流传着“不搬去方舱就断水断电”和“不交出钥匙就别想回来”的传言…🖕🏻 影片前半段进度很快 会有情节简单的错觉 中段开始一个接一个的瓜 又可怜又想笑喷 后段是真的可怜 可怜到迷幻得有点离题 Against.The.Ice.2022.1080p.WEB.h264-RUMOUR #豆瓣电影 #小两口的午夜影院
也没有很喜剧啊，感觉现在看亚洲人变得很西化还是有点不习惯
不过整个叙事过程中确实重点和角度出了问题，Noah的旁白贯穿始终，又反复在自己和Howie之间横跳，情感力度始终有点打不到人，略微可惜了。
亚裔做主角，这是电影唯一的噱头，剧情和颜值本片一个都不占
拍的很平淡。船长的武断实属不应该，代价便是两人孤独艰辛的荒野求生，生命的摇摇欲坠，以及如影随形深不见底的绝望。全程心疼戏份不多的雪橇犬
