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".
纪念第一个点映片，结局意料之外，喜欢这一层的表达！吴磊弟弟多演青春片啊！
比预期中好。整个观影过程轻松愉悦，关于00后高中生活的描绘简单灵动，伏笔设置巧妙，答案揭晓也有效。笔触涵盖父母感情和家庭，少年成长和为家庭和桎梏作出的努力，早恋话题，酷儿与酷儿家庭等等。
高中生谈恋爱能谈出成年人的城府和心机，对比之下，两个中年人的婚外情却跟初中生学生一样羞涩和缠绵，现在的青春片都这么高级了嘛
主线剧情：你是不是暗恋我→要是我们喜欢的人都可以喜欢我们就好了→你喜欢的人永远、永远、永永远远都不会喜欢你。
近十年最强华语青春片？戴着一身镣铐在跳舞，游刃有余，不负青春。
“这首音乐世界只有你有”，郑星宇你真是撩人却不自知啊，我在荧幕前都被郑星宇撩到了
承接着《蓝色大门》与《盛夏光年》内核，《盛夏未来》却在形式上找到了“Z世代”最贴切的表达。精致的室内景+舞台光，快要泛滥成灾的浅焦再搭配上界面元素和霓虹，“悬浮感”或许就是这代人所要的基本视觉范式：他们要在最脱离肉眼现实感受的影像风格中找到最真实而充沛的情感体验。无数人失败了，本片依靠扎实的剧本、无可挑剔的选角+表演和高超的“MING叙事”做到了——这种在海斯法典废除前后就已经被用烂了的手法，在半个多世纪后的另一种语境下依然开出了花，如此玄妙。聪明是陈正道的，哀而不伤是我们的。
怎么说呢 你很难说这是高压线下导演的小巧思还是故意留的灰色空间了 另外 如果这部电影想要在前者做到极致 我建议取消字幕（但我还是哭了 吴磊还是好看 爱而不得还是让人难过
一开始以为就是普通的青春爱情片，是我肤浅了，没想到吴磊演译的这么好，很自然，那种少年的孤独感特别有共鸣，想到了自己年少时候，都有青春的遗憾和成长，希望大家都可以勇敢
陈正道的心思真是藏在他的每一部作品里。
难得有一部观感这么舒服的国产青春片，虽然一切都是很克制地点到为止，还是能很顺畅地深入人心。张子枫真好啊，几乎没有表演痕迹，情绪又传达得很到位，吴磊调教成这样也很不容易。
不看都不知道自己有多变态，郝蕾一出场，满脑子想的都是都是郝蕾和吴磊弟弟谈恋爱。
既然电影要表达的是“勇敢去爱”、“勇敢去接受自己不接受的事情”，那请不要把字幕里的“MING”翻译成“她”好吗？虽然在简体影院里不可避免，但是还是为“MING”鸣不平。。。

提名：最佳影片，最佳导演，最佳编剧，最佳音效，最佳女主角-张子枫
8.3 青春电影会让你有恋爱的感觉，感受到青春的尺度便足够，在新的环境语境下，学生可以带手机进学校或者手机上课暂时没收，但无论时代如何变化，学生注定在成年之门后面，无法越过红线，两个人的疯狂，恰恰是他们在成年之后做的事，同时辛酸又痛苦的成长也是在那个时候开花的
吴磊＋张子枫，真的好灵气，再加上不发挥失常的陈正道，简直神配置。
我的妈呀，这是我心目中最美好的青春了吧，懵懂，冲动，迷茫且生命旺盛，未来可期。尤其是经历过高考，有过早恋经历的人，更能在片中找到情感共鸣。张子枫和吴磊永远是我最喜欢的青年演员，那么大的荧幕那么多对脸的特写，却能把细腻的情感传达地十分到位，真的非常棒。最后表白张子枫，好喜欢她的颜值。
意义不明的电子乐，coldplay甚至是答题卡上清晰可见的单词，几乎和所有z世代的青春画上了一个不大不小的交集。人终究无法缅怀自己阅历之外的事，作为一个曾经的旁观者，我给群演打90分。（为什么不开黄腔！）
八年之后，这是对[青春派]一次拙劣的模仿，人设和剧情都惊人的相似，就连俩电影里班主任的声音都如此相似，故意的吧。前作纯净的只有校园与课堂，却讲了一个完整的故事。这部夹杂了太多无关且狗血的内容，对比之后更显出前作的可贵。真是白瞎了郝蕾和张子枫。
