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".
两个0是没有好结果的，姐妹磨逼天打雷劈哈哈哈。整部片子的节日氛围还是很足的，一家人其乐融融的感觉。
毫无惊喜的圣诞假期限定同志小甜腻电影，家庭氛围是真好，故事是真“平稳”，好几年的“姐妹变男友”的设定也太想当然了，“拍拍屁股”想出来的剧情，前半段还好，后边全家撮合就…嗯…
黑人男友像是亨利和卢卡斯莫拉的结合体lol
Can’t stop smiling the whole movie
甜死我了呜呜呜呜 确实是很适合圣诞月的一部电影 喜欢一些朋友变恋人的情节😢我和侄女还有爸爸一样站稳了我们主角cp（虽然Luke也帅炸了哈哈哈 点亮房子上的小灯灯一幕太浪漫了 还有后面Nick用卖书赚的钱租房子给对方开绿植店 什么绝美爱情😢
到了我这个年纪，生活太苦，糟心事儿太多了，只想轻轻松松的看点不费脑子，能傻乐呵的剧情。假么？是挺假。希望能有这样的事儿发生么？也是真的希望。所以有人拍出来给我看，就挺开心的了。而且冲着Mark和Luke来看，结果小黑好帅啊！
Netflix年末日常圣诞合家欢电影“我说我们是朋友 大家说我们要当恋人 甚至我的约会对象都说我们该是一对”CP粉狂欢就对了 就是男主侧脸仰头实在有点像司徒建国 让我频频出戏
跟室友在一起......不太能接受惹，别说之间互相都有过男友，难道真有啥还不清楚吗🆘🆘luke多可爱啊U ´꓃ ` U
一家子腐男腐女为TXL的终身大事操碎了心，最后朋友变老公
好久没看到这种“睡一觉醒来也没感觉错过啥剧情”的电影了
估计大家都知道有个词叫做“不落俗套”，但是我相信这个编剧肯定不知道。同样是“贺岁档”，而且主题内容基本相同，《圣诞速配》的剧情都比这部有深度。亮点可能是演员帅气、摄像机拍摄效果比较好吧。
硬凑cp，明明是姐妹，luke那么帅，可惜
美剧美影里小镇青年若在大城市里受挫了，最后选择的结果总是回到故乡，和家人团聚。和国产剧非常相反。
看了十分钟就确定这是部烂片……亏我白白期待了那么久！
#loveSophie
Even James figured out they have feelings for each other 😂 【Ps你们是不能接受姐妹变男友还是不能接受femininity🙄️】
啊，圣诞电影，光从预告片就可以把剧情猜出十之八九，这三星给男三（最帅那位，强行被甩还要点醒男主辛苦了）。我就不明白一点，那两个外甥女咋就一定要把他们两个硬凑成一对呢？
还行，全剧挺喜庆的！无论同性异性，这世界多点真爱还是挺不错的。
太难看了。网飞是不是以为拍什么用户都照单全收？应季的电影一年比一年难看……全员挤在一起念台词，完全没有剧情可言，没有一个喜剧的演员存在，强行搞笑实在难看。
我真的还挺喜欢的，虽然故事很老套僵硬而且做作，但是治愈轻松和谐甜蜜的大团圆气氛真的一直存在，而且台词写的不错，很多情话还挺打动人的。我是觉得俩男主还是挺有火花的，有几个片段看得我还蛮心动。
