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".
3.5星。史朗还是过分帅气，贤二还是那么可爱。俩人在本片中还是不够像同居恋人，或许这个世界上在现实中就是有跟他们一样相处模式的群体吧，电影里还是有不少俩人的温馨时刻、甜蜜时刻、浪漫时刻、感人时刻，他们最甜的时时刻，就是他们一起逛超市还有买菜，一起做菜做家务，一起赏樱花吧，还有，贤二有意或无意说出的话，其实都被史朗铭记在心；同时他们面临的问题，虽然大多轻松地一笔带过，但其实也是对于同志群体来说很现实的问题，关于『伴侣被家人认同』，关于『死亡』、关于『未来』，关于『珍惜陪伴自己的最重要的那个人』……有人可以陪伴着一起变老，真是一件很浪漫的事啊。
有绝望和痛苦，无助和无奈。铺陈的点都得到了回声。或许这二十年的隐忍就是为了最后的拥抱。
太甜了太甜了太甜了，在电影院戴口罩都遮不住我笑咧的脸，全程姨母笑，シロさん真的太好了
叙事徐缓，剧作思路是闭环的，无论如何都能得到一个好的解决，再小的一件事都能在后续故事发展中起到作用，很温馨，很完整。美食疗愈生活，照顾心情。但内野圣阳和西岛俊秀毫无cp感，影片质感也与电视剧无二。
这更像是综艺而不是电影.............脑回路很黑人问号，西岛叔很帅，大叔很努力，但场景并不是很美，看出来成本并不高
好适合夏天看的平淡流水账，就当做俩大叔搭伙过日子也很可爱
一般，有松村北斗诶，杰尼斯存在于我看过的每一部日影日剧（不是）。躲开亲亲抱抱什么的，电视剧版也稍微困惑了一下，看完两个小时的电影，我更困惑了。。。是情侣吗，抱一下是可以的吧。。。普通日常，生活平平淡淡才是真
很理想的家庭生活❤……欸，史朗是如何做到同居多年仍一副恐同模样哇 •᷄ࡇ•᷅?（不过你们更一辈子叭！我永远看不腻！）
但从剧迷的角度出发，那还是相当喜欢的。这两个人呀，一个负责帅气，一个负责搞笑，简直可爱到爆炸。看着他们一边做饭一边认真生活的甜蜜状态，就觉得满心欢喜。哪怕再拍一百集，我都愿意看！
内野圣阳桑，求你了，回去演德川家康吧！不是说你演个小受不好看，太洗脑了，以后无法再正视德川家康了。
西島秀俊不笑的時候真的很符合我的審美，他考慮多演點黑幫耽美劇造福大眾嗎？
没想到拍成电影还是没有一条真正意义上的主线，大多还是两位男主的日常，用做饭当引子，穿插一些小故事和小道理，来一点小悲伤的同时又给你一点小温暖。樱花纷飞时与重要的人相伴，结尾真的很美。
你俩怎么京都就玩了一小下!
理发店的那个男的好渣，脑回路也清奇，没想到理发店的老板员工脑回路也清奇。其他都还好
映画化的《昨日的美食》还是那么有亲近感，怎么看别人做饭都觉得是幸福的一件事呢！这剧会让你看到LGBTQ的生活也是由一个个细微的日常组成的，他们一样会为生老病死的问题困扰，两个人坚持走下去就很不容易，但很温馨，付出很值得。
竟然是分床睡哈哈哈。

好甜 每次看到西岛叔娇羞的笑 我的内心疯狂的呼唤 我可以！！！！
贤二这个角色本身的可爱跟温柔再由内野圣阳的表演传递出来，变得更细腻了。两个人晚餐后向对方坦白内心想法的时候，谁能不被他打动啊……而且史朗这么抗拒肢体接触，我就想问下这么多年贤二有性生活吗😰
这种平淡的、瞻前顾后的、小心翼翼的伴侣关系只属于《昨日的美食》，撇开所有你觉得不真切的瞬间，你又会产生某种向往。“我想向这里的所有人炫耀你的好”实在太真挚。
