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".
泉泽啊 身高怎么办啊 会不会被套死戏路了；猜中了泽村一树的角色，没猜到凶手；木村戴纯黑面具的时候颇有地场卫的感觉噢，结尾戴的有花纹的面具太花了，不适合；理发店又出场了，绝对中心主力
看二个主演，故事还是一般，里面关于酒店的描述让我想起了很早的一部英剧，巴比伦饭店
全程都没法沉下心观看，木村是唯一支撑看完的原因
剧情什么鬼，but两个女主+服化道太养眼了，我就不要自行车了。
为卡司里这么多喜欢的人打五星，希望大神x麻酱这个搭档还能继续，去LA之类的再拍个第三部？那个手表的梗有点太好猜了…两部的boss都演绎得超赞，最后那几滴眼泪QAQ💧 希望国内这部也能继续引进。
人物设定实在是太空洞了，故事也完全是在走过场，块状叙事虚得一塌糊涂，还有那让人发怵的营业笑容和美人鱼泡沫般的演技……可不争气的我总还是会为有遗憾的亲情动容，可恶，就会用这么点东西拿捏观众。
冲着大家的演技给了三星，永野和十元很好看。
完全 不能 理解。
该猜到的都猜到了，最后也不知道凶手为啥要杀人…..
单纯的理解家庭之爱就好啦 被好好爱护 一定会成长的还不错 全是和美的结局 剧情的不合逻辑会被爱带过
许多人物没立好这件事先不说，全片最后一句台词，惊人的気持ち悪い。这哪里是讲述无血缘家庭现状，活脱脱就是被男人拖累的一生。女孩亲爹为了追梦抛弃妻子，二爸意味不明有钱老好人，三爸东大毕业精英但找不到人生意义，女从天降才得以快乐生活。未婚夫幼稚又自恋，最后大言不惭说：然后这一棒传到了我手中。？？？？女主是人啊，不是让你们传来传去然后以此获得一些什么个人满足和价值实现的东西ok？
我给五星，我只想说，这片就算再离谱，也比国产那几部爱情片亲情片好看吧？你们就承认吧好吧。最起码不会让人看了想骂人，对吧？最起码把一个故事完完整整的讲明白了好吧？不怕故事离谱，就怕连话都讲不明白就敢拍电影。
这种剧情演下去需要耗费演员多大的信念感啊，感觉巨扯。永野芽郁真的好适合哭戏，怎么做到每次哭都能挂两串泪珠在脸上的，かわいい～
等能去日本了一定是要去royal park住上一晚的
如果人生真的如优子的经历一般那一定是一段跌宕起伏的经历，但是故事却拍得很平淡，故事的走向也基本都能猜到。不过有些情节的氛围渲染得很好，还是会让人投入，比如说毕业典礼。
啥剧情啊…………真的有人会被这感动吗…………
從小到大都被溫柔與愛包圍的人才是最富有的人
现代童话故事吧，能够快速结婚的十元女士不停地给继女找后爸，太悬浮了，这些男人里但凡有一个坏人，女主角都完蛋了.（冈田健史真是大木头，毫无cp感！看完觉得日本的户籍一姓制度多少有点没事找事
给仙女mie酱、冈田弟弟、甜圭加一星。前半部一直在想两条线是一个时空吗？中间两线合并，mie酱毕业典礼上弹钢琴，串起故事的时间线，感动，感动甜圭作为继父的使命感和爱。但十元的角色还是怪，人物的动机很奇怪，不能生育就为了一个可爱女孩嫁了自己？女儿要钢琴，再嫁，感动是感动的，但也怪。所以十元的人生里最想要的是当母亲，她好像没有两性之爱的欲念。冈田弟弟弹钢琴，也是击中我的。冈田和mie酱我都喜欢，这个cp我也喜欢。吐槽一句，现实里三个父亲可没那么美好…爱不可能这么接棒。以及除了甜圭傻看不出十元不是喜欢自己，别的人看不出？这么多男的陪她玩，也是醉了。
选角好，看书的时候就觉得梨花应该是十元那样
