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".
雖然劇情發展都在預想之中但最後20分鐘還是浪費了不少面紙
很治愈。希望每一位孤独的人都好好看看自己的身边的人，你一直都是在爱的环境下成长的，只是你还没发现别人对你的爱而已。就像电影里的主人公阿真一样，是他自己害死自己的。他的父母，他的哥哥，他的青梅竹马，都是爱他的。不用为了那些不喜欢他的人而自怨自艾，而是要为了你爱的人和爱你的人而坚强地活下去！不要随意轻生！这不值得！还好这部剧的阿真，同时也是小白，遇到了灵魂管理员，给了他100天的思考时间，找到了真正的死因，让阿真重新回到了人间，可以继续活下去，真好！
日本真是各种特殊绝症，神奇疾病的偏爱之地。各种脑洞大开的人设和剧情神展开。厉害了。
2022-71，纯爱剧，随便看看还可以的。
人生只是一场漫长的寄宿生活，要好好的爱，且珍惜这一场home stay。
b太和樱井由纪好好看 kenty真的好不容易接了一部非改编剧 演技终于能好好展现了 片子最大的诟病还是绝症系爱情吧 松本妹子的鼻孔确实有点出戏 不过还是比其他绝症系好看一些 开头耳垂被剪的那一下真的有被共感到。。。痛いな
3.5/5
感觉在讲早老病的可怕，get不到恋爱，健人抱着帽子哭得像恐怖片，猪鼻丑女又绿茶又咄咄逼人，感觉不到元气，请她远离我的视线，健人还是和小芝风花比较配，风花我觉得会好一些，会得到同理心。
同事强烈安利我看的剧，剧情挺常见，给特写女主突然长白头发就猜到接下来发展，不过一般跟病魔斗争时令人更感动的永远是亲情。全剧男女主最虐的点应该就是男主没有认出在雪地摔倒的衰老后的女主，明明她已经鼓起勇气用这副样子去见他，这真是让人一辈子都后悔的事。
还行，某些点挺有趣的，结局好像有点过于乐观。属于比较轻松的电影
其实还是很不错的，没想到结局啊，最主要的是男主好可爱!男主的哥哥也好让人有安全感!
长尾弟弟演技挺有代入感的，多演演。
女主像戚薇
虽然兰普林只用了三成功力，但也足够点亮整部平庸的电影了，孙子对奶奶的认同过于潦草，不论是表演还是剧作都不够细致
很治愈的片子，只是年轻一代的演技有待提升，如果你对现阶段的人生感到失望，不妨看一看。
在停尸间复活，用100天调查身体主人的死因，一开始对身边人都挺怀疑的，感觉就是青春期的那种烦恼，几乎所有人都有的吧。长尾初主演但是感觉还是能看的，也不会尬。
后一个小时眼泪就没停过。米娜桑看的时候一定要抱着纸巾盒啊。Kenty演技是可以的，平日电力十足的撩人眼神在这部片里没有一点痕迹。
比预想中要好，原以为是部日式的，甜腻腻的爱情片。后来才发现是部虐恋，而且时间还是如此之长，当中的日式元素多到刻意，有种拍给外国人看的感觉，也难怪奈飞会选他。
我也想轰轰烈烈地过完一生，然后有尊严地死去。
奶奶喜欢看日出 最后一行人依偎着奶奶旁边等待死亡的到来 这个镜头太震撼了
