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".
《新年快乐(2021)》 （2022.1.8） 5
一部适合节日氛围的bgm（background movie）
只想找徐康俊那一段dj的曲子，那两首歌。。。
所有的故事都落俗套，但是在这个辞别旧岁的冬夜，就是需要这样的温暖感动。
in line with what they think about that there is no perfect match, or there is no “the one”. Love takes efforts.
林允儿的声音太好听了！！！！想拥有这样的叫醒服务 和姜河那这条线比较有意思 四星给他俩
近年来网飞对于爱情片的拿捏愈发精准而到位了。选材更多元化、多语种化、多差异化。对于女性主义的讨论相较以往也明显增多。此番又将话题对准灵魂伴侣与快餐爱情的可持续发展性研究（这种电影很保险，不会大火，也不会扑街），新意算是有了，几位主演的表现也算出彩。看得出导演的剪辑、调度很纯熟，对于群戏的把控也很出色。但量产就是量产，做开年小菜可，做大餐食用不免味道又有些过于寡淡，没有记忆点。
在看，这才是总统套房，《甜蜜人生》那个顶多是豪华房。最近被提到海默症三次。真巧，又有想自杀的人。又是制作精美的，就很舒服，女演员很漂亮。又是一起跳楼，这么巧，刚看完《甜蜜人生》，我是有特别的运气？所以允儿用声音演了一大半的戏，然后一个回眸、才见其人，然后演员表放前面，预告封面和剧照都在刷允儿，没想到她声音这么成熟、人气这么高，比以往要漂亮？打完游戏发现没关浏览器。没删，慢慢挖。|早上先豆瓣，影音过一遍，才舍得。韩智敏三部了。最关注的是元真儿。|另一颜值盛宴：《恐惧街》。
我到底在期待什么？！🙂 如此俗套情节汇集的大杂烩电影 拥有这一众卡斯？ 是怎么做到的？ 哦… 是郭在容！ 🙂 千禧年的贺岁片都不至于这么俗套吧。
没有那么不堪吧… 刚开始看确实没抱啥希望，但没想到看到最后泪目了。除了光洙那条线其他都还挺自然的啊，细细看完真的很温馨。有被老年组感动到。
气死了，我们的鹅鹅原来演的是声音出演五分钟真人出现三分钟的morning call，苦苦等到片尾才看到人
没想到允儿算是个客串的
人会受周围人、环境以及自我心态的影响，此时的恋人也可能是彼时的路人，所以没有什么命中注定的灵魂伴侣，感情是需要经营的。
本来以为这一部拼盘电影，好看不到哪里去，说不定闹哄哄最后来个阖家欢乐。
太长了 河那寻死和光洙哭的部分还蛮搞笑的 经理和保洁员的部分 别再给我们这样的幻想了 里面的歌还蛮好听 想知道是不是真唱
(片中的朋友们聚会时的感觉真好, 我也要加油啦, 向着拥有这样的一群朋友们的方向飞奔而去吧
就真是这样, 任何两个人, 只要彼此不反感, 呆在一起的时间足够久, 就会出现些许可以走到一起的契机, 也会出现不少需要你当下的感情(if applicable)所经受的考验, 感情之外的人生重大选择发生的时候, 你会因为身边的人(if applicable)和当下的自己的状态作出或类似或不同的选择, 有时候到底谁和谁在一起了其实没那么重要, 路是你(和身边人(optional)手牵手一起)走出来的, 要走一辈子, 无数的选择一点一点谱就你的人生之路。所以不用急, 要勇敢, 要多去认识人, 要遵从自己的头脑and/or内心。
韩智敏的弟弟在学校告白校园女神
所以基本上也只有在游戏里可以做到LOAD/SAVE/RESTART了，呵呵
还好是2021最后一部烂片而不是2022第一部
