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".
几乎是近年来最温柔恰然的法式情景剧创作，拥有化奇妙为浪漫的力量，散乱的花束抵不过字句的真挚，幽闭的恐慌抵不过冲动的直觉，当沉溺于底层日常的奔涌爱意开始浮现，当舞姿不会被生活的落寞所束缚，视线开始变得如此暧昧却又丝毫不轻佻，恐惧的本能就已被拥吻渴望所战胜抛弃，调律的乐符和书中的页码都是武装抵御悲伤的强大武器，它让一众遁入溃败失落的传统爱情宿命变得弱不禁风。那能够一眼欲穿高度自觉的女性意识在点滴生活步伐与猛烈渴望中迸发，以及被调侃的男性领地意识，背后自大懦弱的腐朽是有多么惹人发笑，相比之下，阿娜伊斯则是一个绝对“诚实”且极具魅力的现代女性形象，专注、勇敢、忠于自我不畏表达。欲望本身并不是我们的理想所在，而是那轻盈自由的动作，是试图超越感知摆脱奴役的奋勇跃进。“爱如潮水，汹涌洗褪我们所有的不堪。”
期待值很低，所以感觉是合格线上的产品～点缀的搞笑点挺有新意，让整个很老土的故事不至于太无聊～
我只是觉得，远在1995年的Andy小朋友，他也不会喜欢这个故事。
我去，根据真实故事改编，他们俩年轻的时候也太帅了吧！！！我的妈啊！！！两个高颜值且浪漫的爱情，我终身难求！！！
轻松而浪漫的电影好久没看到了。虽然是个程式化的美式大团圆电影，彩票只是引子，内容还是表达价值观。但这种价值观我愿意买。看腻了那些揭露人间丑恶的片子了，我只想大家都开心。
可以考虑把巴斯光年达到光速后的内容全部剪去，俗套无逻辑
電影本身沒什麼高潮或挫折。但在描寫主角愛情、親情，以及小鎮居民情懷的部分非常動人。一人中獎，小鎮同樂。男主天賦聰敏，思維縝密，老婆又善良，真係抵佢地中巨獎😝！
3.5星。总觉得似曾相识，原来就是女主角之前演过的A trois on y va的剧情套路。新浪潮导演侯麦算是三角恋题材的始祖，而之后更在欧容和穆雷的作品里打破性向界限，这种性向自由流动的作品让人绝对是法国人的专利。这部处女作强调女性的直觉和自然风光，不论是风景还是演技都赏心悦目，不过这位女演员饰演少女，怎么看都觉得有点吃力了……
讲了但又好像没讲……老年巴斯身上有很多东西可以挖，但都一笔带过
平行世界的老白改爱数学并决定及时把秘密告诉妻子，从此过上了幸福的生活
杰瑞玛姬大乐透，夏日暖心小甜饼。老白赚大钱again，合法雌雄大盗。倒闭山的流媒原创还是小成本的好。
有些任务和使命或许是不值得完成的 @ AMC Bay Terrace
老白已经一而再再而三地告诉大家，学好数理化，走遍天下都不怕
哦对了这个喵好卡哇
买彩票想中头奖真的是天上掉馅饼的事情啊& everything is about math🤑
哦对了这个喵好卡哇
The movie we need right now.
很失望，难以相信是皮克斯的动画长片，生硬地套了玩具总动员的IP，故事又讲的过于平庸老套，皮克斯想做社会运动前，先把自己的本职工作做好吧
轻松娱乐小品，我的邻居带我实现财富自由，居然是真事改编的。不工作就感觉没意思实在无法relate。
无法避免地想起老白的毒师帝国刚起步时财源滚滚的感觉…
