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".
“你眼里的光 即便是一瞬间也好”
前半段把几个人物刻画得很棒。小爱的心机、果断、强势非常鲜明，一开始觉得她摇摆不定的情感倾向是剧作的问题，但最后意识到那的确就是她的迷茫。
别人口中的爱和我以为的爱都一样空乏又自私。只有她的温柔体贴，最贴近爱本身的无私和忍让，即使本来属于别人也让人想占有。删掉男主就是高冷班花女一X病弱乖顺女二的攻略故事，本来以为完了但女二最后那封信温柔得让人想哭，女一看完后毫不犹豫地冲到教室对她说再睡一次就是为了让她明白对她不是只有利用的感情，也蛮好哭的。
一般般不太喜欢。也没有露。颜值也不算很好那种吧这种看到就烦的
画面干净、克制、情感准确、有触感
三星半，豆友的美好分享，影评迟些写吧，眼睛发炎了。但，女主的每一次疯狂，都让人感叹，年少就该如此爱。犯错也好，过分也罢。不疯不邪，不偏执，就等于没爱过。
女二也不太正常😂
看日本动画里面的正能量能带给人鼓舞，本片就是告诉人们善良勇敢，虽然灾难带来了伤痛和恐惧，但是只要有人拉一把就能渡过难关，也许迷途之家无处不在
影片几乎没有配乐，情节推进也很慢，前一小段意兴阑珊地看着。认真起来是爱去接近美雪那里，与同龄人割裂的美雪使用社交软件的笨拙让人好不怜爱，才把进度条拉回去投入到故事里。爱的身上，文明社会的心计和原始森林的野性并存着。她“任性而不懂克制”，想到什么下一秒就做了，从来不考虑他人的感受。她的心理问题一直都存在吧，一个人的时候总是那么用力的蹬车，也不是要赶路，像是心里憋着一口气要发泄。在求爱失败以后更是一蹶不振，失眠、起床困难、生活一团乱麻。不知道她的破坏力和她的心理问题孰因孰果，但美雪确确实实改变了她。爱是二人关系中主导的那个，要么拉着美雪走要么追在美雪身后，美雪的被动一目了然。可是美雪就像平静的大海，卷走一波爱的负面情绪，又翻上来一阵不二的浪花，轻轻拍打着，安抚着岸边躁动的她。
节奏太慢了，剧情也没什么起伏。大概是中日文化差别太大了，感觉不能投入其中。但也会让人想起中学时候的往事，或许十年前我会更喜欢这部电影。总体来说不难看，但也没有动力向人推荐的一部电影。
这部片真的很治愈温馨系的，一个没有血缘的奶奶治愈了两个没有关系的女孩子，让她们都走出了心里的悲伤从而越来越好！
很温馨可爱的片子，画风很精致，特别是自然风景；能看出来主题是对灾后幸存的人的鼓励，灾难之后生存很辛苦，每个人都有积极与消极的两面；片子里好多“妖怪”之物，喜欢这个设定，就像夏目一样，大家都很可爱*٩(๑´∀`๑)ง*
就是没有预判它的预判，在最关键时刻走了神，回过头来竟然就从治愈清新转化成玄幻打怪内容，就有点离谱，但画面我还是挺喜欢的，就这吧
山田杏奈老百合了，还是喜欢他的眼神，真厌世
“我们都别无所能，只能尽自己所能”；活下来的人好寂寞好孤单；声音好平静呀…
木村爱是什么样的人，男主评价的最中肯。而美雪和她完全相反。一个为了私欲不顾一切，一个单纯信任友谊又被动受驱使…青春期的感情很奇怪，说谎的人眼里没有光，所以手写信传达的才是比较真实的情感。杏奈和芋生悠都演得不错。
三星半，豆友的美好分享，影评迟些写吧，眼睛发炎了。但，女主的每一次疯狂，都让人感叹，年少就该如此爱。犯错也好，过分也罢。不疯不邪，不偏执，就等于没爱过。
后半段：嗯？玄幻片？嗯！这是啥？这是啥？这他么的还是个啥？？？
（意外的，我很高兴打斗的戏份那么少那么简单，这本来就是一个温馨的小小故事呀）
很治愈了，节奏开始比较慢，好像一直都比较慢，最后20分钟小爆发一下。以及了解了日本的阴阳师文化hhh
