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".
小资悬浮，淡淡幽默，某种程度上和徐峥的爱情神话是一类片子
但是乱配我真的接受不了，即使是概念
enmmmmmmmmmm.........就很boring
但是能在岁末的冬夜里让我看到所有故事的美好
所有的故事都落俗套，但是在这个辞别旧岁的冬夜，就是需要这样的温暖感动。
觉得还不错。影片讨论灵魂伴侣。是，和不同的人组合有不同的优劣势，也许并不能找到最优解，以此得出灵魂伴侣不一定存在，也大概率没有唯一性。但这种论证方式无懈可击吗？其实爱情中相处的质量，更多取决于双方的品行和能力，两个品行和能力不错的人，大概率会相处得不错，边界感把握好了，即使有问题可能也能求同存异，但灵魂伴侣更重要的是灵魂感吧，灵魂的归宿在哪里，只有灵魂知道。
灵魂伴侣究竟是悖论还是真实存在，坚信存在但并不一定会发生在一生之中，我终生期待，但我终生接受不会发生的事实。
2022年第一部电影。非常标准的工业化合家欢套餐，非常没营养不需要大脑但是元旦看又可以忍受(￣∇￣)……说是韩版《真爱至上》实在过誉了，只能给个及格吧，这个韩国演员阵容还是有些白瞎的。
主管韩智敏暗恋多年的好友金英光却即将结婚，结局和在酒店多次相亲失败的李阵郁跨年
看到5.7我笑了，这质量不吊打2022前面那些上映的鬼电影，无流量无经费就靠一部9分的剧本还要怎么样？一部成本几百万的网大电影拿去和几亿的电影比道具比服饰比场景？白嫖党们口味都这么刁？呵呵。
作為新年第一片，至少是絕對被打動的。雖然是不折不扣的跨年愛情賀歲，但貴在對每個角色的塑造都很立體，緊扣情感點，如偶數強迫症男子的糾結父子情，舞台夢小職員的失智母女情，國考魯蛇男的被分手（姜河那很會哭），接地經紀人的愛放手。情節出於套路又留有創新，比如飯店喚醒服務的「一起跳」，比如泳池自導自演的小插曲；關係老調重彈，又寫出新可能，比如如何釋懷錯過告白的感情，比如黃昏戀的飄雪約定，比如可愛的姊弟情。幾度鼻酸，總會因那些生活中的辛苦與善意觸動。喜歡一些小細節，比如失智母親抱怨想演的動物被搶走，比如小職員為代表摺了兩個毛巾兔子（很飯店內梗）。有些意外落淚點竟是李光洙請託別的公司代表照顧徐康俊的那一幕。允兒的角色可以和《極限逃生》形成有趣互文，勇敢與脆弱的可愛反轉。韓志旼非常有魅力。
相亲男和叫醒服务小姐还有点意思，别的小故事太流水线的感觉了，完全没有感动的点，比真爱至上还是差太多了，故事太多太细碎了。
7.5/10这正是我目前急需看到爱情片，人生哪里来的那么多选择。非常精彩好看电影！
又俗又土又像一个大型的酒店广告但我好喜欢哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
哈哈蛮好 因为不信天造地设唯一灵魂伴侣那一套 看韩剧会觉得为什么男女主角痛苦来痛苦去都这么痛苦了还搞非你不可一定要在一起那一套 喜欢浪漫的体质很大程度上也是因为里面的关系很轻松不沉重会觉得他们在一起很好不在一起也很好 遇到谁还是取决于你是谁吧
其实讲的有点点混乱 同样的场景衣服 突然就换了伴侣 换了另一种可能229
在听觉方面真的不错，叫醒服务真的很…暖…“你是这世上最珍贵的”这样的歌词也真的很打动我…谁懂…也许你在无意中就拯救了绝望的人呢。《废柴舅舅》里，舅舅说他曾经想过跳海，但是，突然闻到了一股味道，好像是很美味的东西，他想，吃了再死吧，结果吃的时候就觉得很委屈，凭什么放着这么好吃的东西去死。我们啊，都是靠着一些小小的理由活下去的。
吴孟达达叔参演的大话西游网大，戏份还不少，片中有一段特别告别的闪回。男女主不惹人厌，尤其是女主，还是非常俏皮可爱的，男主相对弱一些，可惜剧本还是太同人太凑合了
不明白为什么分数那么低～我觉得很巧妙，同一件事，在不同的一对人身上演绎出不同的结果，找到谁是对的那个人。值得探讨，值得思考～
每一条线都草草了事毫无新意 还不如翻拍三谷幸喜的那一部
