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".
日本电影总是拍的温馨又日常，让人充满生存的食欲。生活中绝对少不了日剧这种调味剂。
年轻版《违命》，然而这部的宗教只让人性冷淡。能看出一些其它les片的影子，舍弃已成为定番的激烈性爱只拥抱热吻，是一种进步。
我是真他妈的羡慕西岛桑的一头乌黑浓密卷毛，为啥我20多岁头发就快没了啊呜呜呜呜，不公平啊!
有时候有的人就是可以不成熟甚至自私愚蠢到拿另一个人为自己找坐标//信仰是束缚也是障目 可能仅仅是看待世界的方式不同 部分人相信从自身出发的感受 部分人相信的则是教义所阐释的过去现在和未来//这个故事大概在某种程度上概括了一部分发生在性少数人群中的经历 因为某一外界力量即便相爱即便最后也会分手但率先被放弃了//也许不能称为现象 不过好像在电影里拉子们尝试进行第一次亲密接触的场所常常发生在洗手间隔间 浴室 厨房 餐厅（包括但不限于）这些场所的私密性和被女性化让我觉得导演们在场景选择显现出的共性很有意思
开局出现宗教元素，我就有种不好的预感，果不其然又一次被虐得心痛。是那种没有对错却无法在一起的最无奈的爱情。
整部电影就像是一个正常人进入传销组织，偶然发现一个自己喜欢的人，为了接近喜欢的人假装洗脑成功，终于两个人相爱了。最后两个人恋情被发现，一个违背传销组织的宗旨于是和另一个结婚，却憧憬两个人的未来。另一个离开。
''I'm not confusing.''
对于新体系内部的控制刻画太少了，比较失去力度。
一部做饭的电影，而且是两个男人一起生活的戏，一直对男同的戏提不起精神，看这部戏也完全看当成美食电影看的，两个大男人生活在一起还相互的吃醋，小情感还是表达的有点意思，当成教你做饭的电影看看还可以吧！
很喜欢史朗和贤二的生活状态，食物串起人情，食物沟通感情，但是影版刻意制造误解就不必了喂！
3.5吧 怎么说，这是邪教吧？一部反婚反育反邪教的宣传片，完成度还是不错的。
戴眼镜女主好好看，好多情节都感慨：果然是女同
比起剧版的细腻和治愈，感觉差了那么点意思，但能看到男男生活流的种种切面，还是会有暖流在心中穿过。
很美。但是不知道这两个女主之前的感情是怎么发展起来的
流水账一样的生活，大团圆不过是一厢情愿，我们在各自的不完满里仍然在期待明媚午后的缤纷落樱
''I know it's could be confusing at your age.''
“耶和华谢谢你把杰米带到我身边，在这个她最需要我，我也需要她的时候。”姬佬真的会被玛丽卡这种直球女冲死🆘还有杰米对玛丽卡的态度像极了去他*的世界里永远无法对艾丽莎say no的詹姆斯。。我直接大喊救命！
以Jamie一个外来者的视角去审视宗教团体内对情感和个人的压制，或许有一些真实的背景在，同性之爱成为了一种既定道德的反抗，Marike是矛盾的中心，也是大多数LGBT群体最真实的写照。
一如既往的温馨，两个大叔在一起的相处，就是日常的幸福，让人觉得，啊！这样的生活真好啊！好希望也有这样一个人能够和他一起慢慢变老。
中年人的爱情真的好好嗑！两个人的中年危机哈哈哈哈哈哈
