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".
无聊，我本来就不喜欢真爱至上这种类型的，这还压根比不上真爱至上……
一般来说温暖贺岁片都会给高分，但这部只有堆砌，没有融合升华。比类似题材的《新年前夜》《结婚前夜》更无趣
冲这阵容再给一星，都是我喜欢的演员，老李时隔多年又当上了hotel king，好一个霸道总裁爱上我。小姜又演憨憨，头卡窗子那段好笑，我都没看出来光洙演经纪人，瞅了半天才反应过来，志旼欧尼好漂酿，剧情不算新颖，一家酒店里不同的人身上发生的关于跨年的感情小故事，当个跨年电影看还行。
下雪天和圣诞节真般配 我就喜欢这种节日出的一定是happy ending的电影
好多地方好像真爱至上。歌真的都好难听，就老年组那对还挺动人的。金英光真的太帅了，就是胖了点，发型显脸大。李光洙是有演技的。姜河那太可爱了，胖了不少。韩智敏真的好漂亮，弟弟也好帅。到底是谁在捧元真儿，演技太差了，连个拼盘电影都撑不起来，五番戏份比谁都多！林允儿出来有五分钟吗？这就是诈骗啊！
剧情要多老套有多老套，要说剧情的话真的不怎么样。但是过年还蛮喜欢看这种贺岁电影，阵容强大，故事圆满，每个人都拥有完美的结局，纯粹的合家欢大电影，还蛮温暖的，也算是美好的祝福吧。还有，李栋旭好帅。
还不错，比之前几个蹭IP的院线要好太多，而且最难得的是这版紫霞的演员意外的不令人讨厌！作为网大我给四颗星，挂着达叔的遗作为宣传点也算是合格的，没给达叔丢脸！
它就值得给五星！
啊…我为什么喜欢讲冷笑话的帅哥啊，西8⃣️
演员们都好好看啊，可是电影全程快进看的。。毕竟一个导演，今年又是野蛮女友上映20年，不觉得梗旧，反而让我勾起了那个回忆！另外唯一喜欢的是韩智敏唱祝歌那段，她在这部剧里变的好漂亮啊~
其中一个男主外形性格完全踩在我的点上 现代爱情故事 挺有意思 也值得学习
有点脸盲了，男士们有的有点重影了
这剧本真是白瞎了这阵容。一星给我志旼，一星给morning call，允儿的声音太好听了
我觉得是一部很好的片子，不明白评论区为什么有那么多吐槽烂片，看这部片子前我处于情绪波动大+隔离抑郁+感情纠葛期，导演通过四个人的不同搭配方式和她们经历事不同应对方式，让我感受到了导演的用心，几乎包含了所有比较常见的一些情侣间的事件，电影剧情切换也比较有新意，努力克服脸盲后，我被治愈了，我最大的感受就是在面对同一件事情时人们对待的方式和态度才是至关重要，虽然有些时候开端不是特别完美，但两个人共同目标和处理方式才是最重要的，像结尾苹果理论一样，这时候对于我之前一直坚持灵魂伴侣说辞的人来说其实这不是那么重要的点了，我觉得是一部很好的片子，导演通过这样的故事手法来让人感受到的深意，可谓是用心良苦呀，让人充满能量的片子也不是简单的鸡汤文学，爆米花激情电影，挺喜欢这类哲思类片子，希望多一些或推荐类似电影
四人的排列组合来讨论soulmate挺有意思的，但出轨那一段的有种是为了论证“苹果论”而安排，因为两位女主面对出轨做出不一样的选择时，并没有符合两女主的性格。
没想到允儿算是个客串的
有点意思，势均力敌可能一开始更契合，过程中却很难发现彼此的问题得到成长，但会像原谅自己一样原谅彼此；互补则是一个比另一个更成熟，一开始可能互相排斥，但是慢慢接触反而加速另一个成长达成同样的生活节奏，从实验的结果看，互补的两对矛盾更少或者说往往会被成熟的化解，说到底需要双向奔赴但又能一方主导最好，双方要强或者同样多愁善感也能在一起但是比较累，要找个和自己完全一样的对象还不如单身，自我不就是最好的知己？但是找个需要磨合完全不同的又不得不迁就讨好即使主导也是麻烦的很，还是不如单身自在啊。爱情家庭是否让自己人生更完整？这确实需要自己找到确定的答案。
看的时候很混乱，搞不懂剧情，慢慢入戏了，就开始渐入佳境。彼此相似的人，因为你像我，所以我爱你。但是哪有完美契合的理想情人？彼此不同的人，因为彼此差异而相互吸引，有这么多差异想，我还是想爱你，所以相互磨合妥协，为彼此变成不够完美的爱人。我觉得为了爱你，愿意改变自己的爱情，才能走得更久吧。
讲述了四个单身朋友以不同的组合成为情侣的故事，
很有创意的一个对于“灵魂伴侣”的探究，怎样的组合才能走到最后：势均力敌，趣味相投 VS 截然不同，冲突很多，却能够相互更加包容。好像没有必要去考究，因为无论怎样的组合，都是需要去经营，只是与不同的人 会有不同的相处模式。
