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".
我觉得这类电影，还是不太适合我口味，但是值得一赞
譚sir的學生的作品，香港新生代女性導演未來可期。但真的，後面一小時一直快進。
第一视角的心境抓得蛮到位，操场上激吻真的好勇啊，有一些细节其实把我看笑了，还可以看
港版的花香，剧情&女主外貌都和花香类似2022了也没有啥进步，双女主颜值在线，画面唯美，没了。看完后内心毫无波澜。
少年时代的恋爱，大抵如此。但是讲好30单身的话就结婚，干嘛故意找对方来当伴娘，深爱着的人真的很痛苦。做个人不好吗？自私的人。
四星仅为支持数量不多的亚洲女同片
如果結局停喺呢個畫面就好啦...
拍出了两位女主的美。剧情有点生硬，节奏平铺直叙，有点像MV叙事
很drama又很真实，瑕疵也很多的电影。谈善言好美演的好好啊。剧情真的有点无力吐槽，前半段很不错后半段好像有点莫名其妙。特别是最后结婚那一趴..新郎好惨🤕雨中的篮球场真的很美很勇敢，全片最佳。
今天是2022.7.20，四个月前看这部电影，我到底是因为什么打动，给了4星。重新复习了一下片尾片段。
写这条短评的时候眼泪还是止不住的流，一时分不清是被剧情打动还是为自己的遗憾痛惜…
“你可能不知道，我是真喜欢你。
- 唔使死老豆
离地三千尺的疼痛青春式对白与独白 / 怼脸大特写 大光圈虚化 高曝光 日式滤镜 大量觉其“用力”但不足以让我感慨“灵”的构图转场 不知是囿于才华还是经验 / 不理解拉拉片里为何会有以女性外貌羞辱为隐形笑点的桥段 毫无必要且并不好笑 / 以我对lgbt片的宽容与热爱 仍多次被尬得脚趾抓地 唯一打动我的竟是配以蓝宇念白的那一段 可见直白真诚才是最大本领 把控不好便会落得悬浮做作 / 论原生家庭（的富裕程度）对ntxl群体最终选择的影响 / 坐在过道 两位女主两次从身边走过 超近距离观察 真是美（流口水
故事很简单，画面也并不突出。让人觉得不舒服的还是结局，到底是什么心态能写出这种结局啊……
剧情有点槽点满满哈！不过她们的青春时期还是挺美好遗憾的，最后还是哭了🥲。谈善言好姬呀！！既然香港这题材没被限得死死的，能不能多拍拍les片呀！！！雨中激吻那里真的好好看！配上那个配乐真的升华了！
是有一些缺点，比如有些细节的套路较老 主角一难过就打雷下雨，还有两个爸爸的那一次对话，令人不明所以，要说是想和后面“好爸爸”的形象形成反差，体现“人的多面性复杂性”又未免不太够。但有几个镜头还是很会拍的，把两位主角拍得美极了。
《蓝宇》的台词配上那个画面，真是爱而不得。面对爱情，不在乎是谁，只是因为是你，所以就一直珍惜着那份美好的回忆，即使最后我们只能冠上“好朋友”来定义我们的关系。
女校的故事能写的这么单薄吗？感情线如果置换成异性恋好像也没任何问题，但这可能就是最大的问题所在了，甚至觉得片尾那几段采访都更有意思点。阿谈你咋演了这么多les角色！
请人来当伴娘多狠的心啊 我的世界里没有和平分手
