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".
one shot一镜到底，结尾略仓促。利物浦口音太迷人
一镜到底真的有沉浸式的体验，并且集结了餐厅所以可能发生的问题，焦虑感十足。老公看之前还想开餐厅的，看完直接打消了这个念头😂😂
整体更像是电视番外，还是拍得太电视剧了，节奏太缓慢了，剧情也没有多少波澜，拍成电影某些时刻就觉得冗长和单调。同时电影扩大了悲情与动情点，但内里又缺乏支撑，就会显得空洞和刻意，相比剧版少了太多细节和内蕴，只剩下青春期颜与肉的那点工业糖精。
剧情好演技好 人均小天使 本来第一季很讨厌terrence 但这个电影让我对他瞬间改观 他和卫斯理的cp我也磕的很欢啊
刚知道居然有大电影 熬夜看完了 Gav和Cai还有他们的朋友们 在阳光下紧紧拥抱 他俩彼此陪伴 太治愈我了 每次大家毫不犹豫的表达爱 平凡美好又珍贵的感情 包含着爱情友情亲情 全程就算是有虐点的地方我都洋溢着被幸福到的笑容 “baby” 看了这部剧才发现原来这个称呼可以被叫的这么浪漫 太会拍了 拍的太好了 第一季和大电影完全ok的 期待第二季 他们的故事
笑死我了 法语名甚至叫Barbaque 很妙
成品意外的小而精緻，初見預告片2.35畫幅只覺得有何必要？幸好餐廳後場相當狹窄讓這畫幅增強無處可逃的命運
后续食之无味，以前对两位主角的颜值身材审美的十级滤镜莫名其妙少了八级。
This place is fucking gold
爱情本就并非一帆风顺，两个人相处肯定会有一些摩擦，再加上疫情，糟心的亲戚，前任，情敌，现在又要开始远距离恋爱，Cairo和Gavreel太难了，不过相信他们一定能坚持下来修成正果的。
很精彩的群戏调度，明明只有一个半小时，明明只有一个镜头，看到最后却觉得好像真的过去了大半夜，每个人都看起来过得那么累。让我很容易就代入了从前的工作记忆，拍得非常真实。
一镜到底是种形式 用在这一个混乱的晚上实在是适合不过了 关于同事和同事之间的矛盾 关于客人和厨师之间的矛盾 主厨自己家里的矛盾 都在这个圣诞夜爆发出来 故事小格局小但震撼大！二厨不干了 客人过敏 手下抱怨 自己吸毒喝酒晕倒——仔细想想《沸点》这个题目真有意思 沸点到了即是一味菜完成了 用来比喻一个厨师工作完了 实在是妙。
继网剧的故事线，讲述两位主角在离别前的同居生活，甜，真实。个人觉得符合期待值。即便是最后的离别也很催人泪下，这就是爱！
科科伊演得好棒，感觉真就是俩小情侣。他演的其他剧也都不错。甜甜的男友、爱情谁不想拥有呢，虽然困难重重，只要还在一起就行。
离开了网络世界，现实才能发现更多的问题。没有第一部那么惊艳，但还是挺好的
感觉作为电视剧的衍生版电影来看还是很不错的，主角演技依旧在线，期待第二季！！！
比起紀錄片更加瑣碎多了細節。影片始終對準餐廳對準後廚，敘述了一個周末晚上所發生的事，劇本非常紮實，演員的功夫也爐火純青，導演的調度相當不錯，全片自始至終一直很有張力，也挺抓人。餐廳的後廚，其實每天也是神經高度緊張，事情不斷，頗有些刀光劍影的樣子。
elijah 和 kokoy的演技太绝了 CaiReel is Real！
光线、衣着、环境都浪漫得恰到好处，
90分鐘一鏡到底一間餐廳開店後一個多小時的設定不可能編劇有頭有尾，電影採取連串事件填塞時間到就卡不廢話，挺適合90分鐘長片並帶有短片性質一氣呵成感覺
