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".
人生好长，长到只能和你短短相遇。
感觉原著应该蛮感人的，但改编叙事节奏真的蛮奇怪的，前面都还好，中间俩人谈恋爱怎么快剪一下就没有了呢，这样作为观众完全代入不到啊，后面真的好长，但信息量和情感都不够（两位女演员都非常不错（坂口健太郎我怎么get不到了呢
温子仁的，太温子仁的。主角设定并不新鲜，不过镜头调度视听简直天花板。
果然倒计时的生命还是给人恐惧啊 按照遗愿清单在有限的时间里去一件一件“打卡”还是很恐怖的。毫无希望的最后还能遇见你到底是我的幸运呢还是你的不幸呢 “我还不想死 我也想和喜欢的人结婚”茉莉想必也清楚内心的答案了。纯爱还是要看霓虹。千篇一律的本子但本本却有各自的味道 四星的内容+一星私心给ken酱
3.5⭐虽然这里面有一些恐怖片固有的小桥段，但是这不是鬼片，这里面完全没有鬼，恶魔附身的另一种方式。温子仁利用类似老金黑暗另一半的老梗搞了一部虐杀惊悚片，所以绝不可以看阉割版，因为有些镜头画面还是会给你一种登峰造极的体验感，删减版的结果就是在一些真相借此由直观画面来得以展现而形成的冲击力上都会因此观感缩水。警察局那段儿还真的蛮刺激的，我一直对那种关节四肢扭曲有种生理性的恐惧感，比贞子那种披头散发仿佛几个月没洗头的要看着可怕，还疼！总之故事复古，前半悬疑氛围后半惊悚动作，妹妹长得挺好看，警察小哥好帅！女主老公是罪魁祸首的大渣男，感觉会有第二部。并不觉得失望还是一如既往的喜欢温子仁～
整体还行 中规中矩的日系纯爱片 主演演技也没拉垮 多一颗星给私心坂口小天使～
这个可太猎奇了，后脑勺上长畸胎，手脚逆行也能杀人如切瓜，这事真是太猎奇了……一开始我觉得这是灵异版的超感猎杀？一进入通感状态就没办法动是“鬼压床”？是真没想到这通感通的这么“扎实”，尽管又是爱能战胜一切的标准结尾，但就冲着这个猎奇的程度，我就得给四星，温老师真是从不让我失望啊～
像摊煎饼果子一样将恐怖类型正面反面来回煎，薄脆葱花辣椒酱，以惊声尖叫的脸为圆心画一个惊声尖笑的360度旋转木马。无论是一星五星短评的battle，还是骂看未删减资源影迷恶臭并流下酸腐眼泪的傻逼资本家，都比电影本身更精彩。
场景不错 剧情很一般 日系纯爱 没有感动到…
不好看。唯一能稍稍共情的地方就是茉莉靠在妈妈身上哭。但是！坂口还是好帅，颓废的积极的成熟的样子都很帅气啊。nana也是！两个人在一起好养眼。
总体来说一般 但合格了
致命ID之篮子里的恶魔 倒着走的兄弟太诡异了 果然意志力才是关键 内部纠纷要靠自己摆平
知道影片想表达什么，但我竟然没有被感动到流泪，全部都演在了我的感动预期与阈值内，其中一颗星给演员，男女主都是我喜欢的长相。
emmm 真的就是日本電影老調子 為什麼要莫名搞那麼多慢鏡頭？3.5 星
期待值太高了反而有些失望，洋次郎的声音出现时才真正有了想哭的情绪。当人生开始倒数，“爱情”对于我们来说，是多么幸运而又奢侈啊。
有什么比相遇还要珍贵？
故事很好，但导演好像并不太行，蒙太奇用的也不太能引起共鸣。在我看来余命十年之际是给了男主太多的力量，但这个表现力太弱了，以至于不敢认爱的过程也显的牵强与尴尬。现象级别的电影就这个水准看来只能为周边、写真、胶片这些加加分了。同样的花束的现象级话题真不是所有现象级的电影都能引起讨论的。当然这种现象不包括同情的眼泪。
昨晚看完，今早起来女儿在沙发上玩磕到了后脑勺，双手抓后脑，哭叫着要撒娇一下，我以为她要给我从后脑撕出个Gabriel来。
拍得太花哨太网红感了，温子仁玩得开心就好。看完觉得挺wtf的，但仔细一想，他的片都挺wtf的。
气死了！本来写了一个真情实感的影评结果被豆瓣说不过关！但是！真的很好看！这个电影！
