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".
配乐都好好听🥺 雪景也很漂亮 剧情就so so..
新年快乐！
这…阵容很好呀怎么那么琐碎…导演才有强迫症吧，强行在凑对
虽然有的剧情略显莫名其妙，但年末吃着爆米花看看这种不过脑子的大团圆剧也不是不行🎉
就是典型的合家欢节日电影 情节很无语 尤其是我栋旭 都2022了还搞财阀爱上灰姑娘就无语…导演多次致敬野蛮女友 看得出来是很爱卡农这曲子了
被日常打败的时候，暖暖的：）当然栋旭完全是原因啦哈哈哈
看着有点乱，也完全没用心看的一部片子，也难怪没太看明白
“你该不会想说声音好听的主人长得应该不好看吧，不好意思，我长得很好看”。也只有允儿可以这么理直气壮的说了😂
虽然合家欢不过有点一般
冲着达叔看的，剧本故事倒没什么问题，不过大话西游本身结构就这样，衍生出来的剧集讲来将去也就那样了
作为一部轻松愉快的电影，《新年快乐》剧情简单，绝对不烧脑也不费眼泪，加上群星璀璨的出演阵容，是一部典型的贺岁喜剧片
導演想拍愛的偶然與必然性，又想拍靈魂伴侶論，想法挺好，但是影片的剪輯太亂，最後哪個也沒顧到，缺了點靈性。
这片子挺有意思，不同的排列组合不同的走向，归根结底婚姻其实就是寻找到合适的人彼此在生活中互相磨合，磨合的好会一直走下去，磨合不到一起各自继续走向属于自己的那段人生路。
无聊，我本来就不喜欢真爱至上这种类型的，这还压根比不上真爱至上……
好几组人物的好处在于总能找到一对喜欢的，这部电影就是有偶像有悬浮但也有真情实感，尤其是马上将近新年时有一个一无所有决定结束自己生命的设定，众人最后合力救下了他，着实老套但又感动。
哈哈蛮好 因为不信天造地设唯一灵魂伴侣那一套 看韩剧会觉得为什么男女主角痛苦来痛苦去都这么痛苦了还搞非你不可一定要在一起那一套 喜欢浪漫的体质很大程度上也是因为里面的关系很轻松不沉重会觉得他们在一起很好不在一起也很好 遇到谁还是取决于你是谁吧
姜天空是为了角色变胖还是真的变胖了，如果不是因为角色的话希望姜天空你停下来！不能再发腮了，对的我就是在凝视男演员
韩国好像每年都会拍这么一部 这个阵容是真的强 虽然故事很一般 但最后还是有些感动的…我志旼欧尼真是太美了…
太稀碎了，没有一条线是讲好了的。加一星是因为有很多我喜欢的演员。
我觉得是一部很好的片子，不明白评论区为什么有那么多吐槽烂片，看这部片子前我处于情绪波动大+隔离抑郁+感情纠葛期，导演通过四个人的不同搭配方式和她们经历事不同应对方式，让我感受到了导演的用心，几乎包含了所有比较常见的一些情侣间的事件，电影剧情切换也比较有新意，努力克服脸盲后，我被治愈了，我最大的感受就是在面对同一件事情时人们对待的方式和态度才是至关重要，虽然有些时候开端不是特别完美，但两个人共同目标和处理方式才是最重要的，像结尾苹果理论一样，这时候对于我之前一直坚持灵魂伴侣说辞的人来说其实这不是那么重要的点了，我觉得是一部很好的片子，导演通过这样的故事手法来让人感受到的深意，可谓是用心良苦呀，让人充满能量的片子也不是简单的鸡汤文学，爆米花激情电影，挺喜欢这类哲思类片子，希望多一些或推荐类似电影
