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".
前面太灵了！全钟瑞出现的第一下就很不一般，好喜欢，孙锡久也好可爱
还蛮喜欢这种质朴美国人傻傻的坚持的精神。life is not about how much we achieve, but how we become. we won't take off when things get hard。destiny - it goes to underdog.
很活泼轻松的爱情电影，后面节奏放缓逐渐落入俗套。全钟瑞好灵动啊，演戏实在是太灵了，生动的面部表情和一颦一笑太动人了。孙锡久演这个角色虽然违和感不强，但是感觉角色有点干巴巴的。剧情就是比较艳俗的从炮友变恋人的故事，比较轻松的氛围，另外18🈲元素过多哈哈哈。
很可爱啊，误会后没有歇斯底里搞个半小时对我来说就是好爱情片了
情节还是老套的，表面上谈性，实质上还是在说情。孙锡久和全钟瑞的化学反应比预想的要好。
Kurt 有善良，有坚持，一个野路子四分位，在他被包装工仅仅2天就踢出去的时候，我心里咯噔一下，那是多么崩溃的一件事，到后面绝望到没有一个球队愿意接纳他，毕竟四分位这种位置，怎么可能有那么多的空缺？
三星半 价值观不苟同 但是拍得还可以 起码看进去了 还想说 金瑟祺还演配角工具人 这…
3.5，为全姐加一分，真的是太灵了，当然这角色对她而言也确实毫无难度，信手拈来罢了
意外的还行，女主角很多时候很有魅力。竟然在妆容上刻画了没有恋爱的时候的憔悴，以及有X生活后的容光焕发
题材一般，但是被两个非常适配角色的演员搞得很不错。
美国电影总是体现着美好爱情和英雄主义，也确实，这样是可以让很多人崇拜和向往的。运动题材总能拍的这么好，我国还是荒地，希望今后多出一些好的运动片子。
喜欢主角的小表情 更喜欢两个主角本人啊啊啊啊啊啊 全姐姐和孙锡久都是理想型（bushi/ 多少有点浅尝辄止 后面的节奏有点乱了
等别的电影期间混进去乱看的，故事本身拍得也是很零碎。
等别的电影期间混进去乱看的，故事本身拍得也是很零碎。
收尾收得仓促了些，故事也有些套路。另外，孙锡久好帅啊。
适合用来消遣的下午茶甜点，就是那种有时候需要看一下的小片。男女主演都很喜欢！！两人挺搭的其实。不过故事就真俗套啦。他们俩要是最后不在一起我是真的会伤心哈哈哈。可能我还是那么幼稚和保守吧！
全钟瑞脸和身体都好漂亮 看到一半的时候觉得男主太丑太不搭了 后来想想现在很多恋爱婚姻不都是这种组合吗很常见很合理 当然男主各方面表现已经远高于普通男性了 还是有些魅力的
挺好的 每个人都善良又可爱。嗯 应该属于科幻电影
好鬼无聊一剧本，拍的也一般，但解放日志里对孙锡久的性幻想终于实现了……一丢丢吧，他不笑比笑起来性感一万倍，这种舔狗角色也不够发挥的，全钟瑞美死了，还有最喜欢的两个配角小姐姐，不过也都没什么发挥空间。
虽然大线剧情俗套，但是有些细节例如女主性格还是有新颖之处。29岁如果我也能遇到这样的缘分也许也不错。太爱全钟瑞了怎么会有这么美妙的女孩子。
