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".
小嘤是坚强的小姑娘 小优很幸福一直被爱包围着 “不靠谱”的梨花妈妈的爱原来是这么的深 最后真的是太好哭了
女主是幸运还是不幸呢。是幸运吧
看了原作觉得平平无奇，电影倒是拍得让情感流动变得突出，除了冈田都演的很好，虽然我不理解这个故事发生走向，但不影响被催泪弹搞得泪流三升。十元的造型一个比一个美，就是笑容有点模式化。咩酱要是遇到好剧本应该有机会拿奖，演技越来越好了。
我给四颗星，因为有点意外，更因为有一股淡淡的人文……这般的对人的内心探讨，在天朝下很难看到的（几乎没有）
而在包括亲人在内的众人的善意中心怀感激，是日剧日影不尽的得意主题。
真的是很无聊空泛的剧情 而且女主的人生就是一个接力棒在男人之间传来传去吗？以及十元为了满足女儿的梦想不是去努力赚钱而是找一个有钱的老公？三观太不正了吧 颜值挽回一星
反正我个人很喜欢，好久没哭，看这个哭的很爽
正常剪辑感觉会好一些，有很深的不现实感，但是很暖
像一个外表裱花得很精致的蛋糕，但是连芯都没没烤好。冈田健史是真的没演技，白瞎了永野芽郁的对手戏。
这种故事你不能说它假，但也不能一味就相信，但是通篇看下来一个坏人都没有的世界我觉得是更危险的，但凡这故事背景放到中国你试试，女主能不能活下来都是个问题…
除了演员以外所有东西都很离谱。。。虽然咩是我的美丽女鹅 但是看这样的片子属实是糟蹋时间
一个抽到ssr的女孩，看完只想说y4太美了，笑也美哭也美，y4太美了。
小女儿长大了，老婆依然美丽。故事很稀烂，纯为颜值买单。
虽然里面的人都那么善良，让人有点觉得梦幻，但是还是挺好看的。里面的场景 色调 服装搭配 很赞！除了剧情有点傻白甜，看的很开心哈哈哈哈哈
为了咩酱看 但是真的不懂这电影的意义在哪里 为了感动而感动
结局太刻意了只能说女主这智商死得不冤，过去一年究竟练了点啥啊太反智了。如果结局是在树林里克隆想要杀了原生结果被原生反杀，然后原生回到车上看到了妈妈给克隆的短信/电话留言一类的，问解决了没有，别忘了买隐形眼镜之类的。然后原生明白了所有人都想让克隆活，所以假扮成克隆，最后以克隆的身份活下去。。改成这样，最后原生竟然要以克隆的身份活在家人身边，就更好了。
好久没看这么温暖感动的电影了，只是后半段没有前半段那么精彩耶
能让我来评论的都是有震撼到我的让我无法释怀的。这个电影也一样，细节和逻辑可能经不起推敲，但是让人思考的意义远大，脑洞很大且让人细思极恐又充满消极绝望！大篇幅的演了学习格斗的过程结果一杯毒水被毒死了，最后的伤心无望痛哭让人反应过来活下来的还是本体。格斗学习中做错的唯一一题也是中毒死亡的，这里呼应了最后使她免于同样的悲剧。但是即使活下来却要用本体的身份去过活复制体的生命，最爱最亲的人选择了复制体而非她本人，甚至可以合理推断他们参与并协助复制体对她的谋杀。还有比这更让人绝望的吗？
十元还是一如既往地好看啊啊！
虽然故事有点离奇，好在最后给圆回来了。心存美好总是好的。一部赚走了我妈妈一大把眼泪的电影。
