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".
快餐式的现代爱情故事，流水账式的拍摄手法，很难不苟同这就是当下生活节奏下，年轻人的感情观。只是这个名字起的太唬人了，合着一年分手了，都能叫做以年为单位的恋爱了呀，当然毛晓彤是好看的。后排的小伙子抽泣的动静有点大，也太能带入自己了。
好久没看到这么简单直接却又很温暖的电影了，好想也有一个每天吵架但是又恨又爱的人啊。
真的很喜欢两位演员，所以再烂也有看青春剧的感觉。吃火锅的桥段简直和我跟朋友一起去重庆一模一样，不过我俩是真觉得不够辣哈哈哈哈哈
毛晓彤居然这么好看。。才发现这个演员。。
呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜
一般不喜欢看纯粹的恋爱片，因为喜欢毛晓彤，看到院线新片里有这部电影才看的，很一般
两位北漂一族的爱情故事，以年为单位，从热恋到矛盾争吵，再到分道扬镳。故事很细腻真实，帝都巨大的工作和生活压力下，不再是“过”生活，而是被生活给“过”，爱情的样子还在，但爱情的感觉被迷失了，到最终才明白所有的物质、所有的面子都不是爱情的答案和目标，而陪伴和理解才是。以年为单位的陪伴，看尽人生的一个个奇迹，牵着对方的手走过每一段路，聚沙成塔终成白头偕老。
冲着演员来的。剧情一般，但是演员真的很有CP感啊。
真是烂 空中楼阁的爱上 极尽刻意的冲突 做作至极的失恋 随便买房和没有疫情的世界里 哪来什么真实的爱情 失败的时候能恶意拒绝所有关心和帮助的男人 成功了也不能要🙄️
最后两个人面对面坐着 只说一句“我想吃火锅了”不知道为什么突然被戳到泪点
3.5吧。前中段的一些点真的挺戳我的，真的有的地方有些感同身受到。中段的一些争吵点也挺细的，可以感受到编剧确实也有深入发掘感受过的。结局强行he有些不适，但是考虑到这是部跨年剧，也可以理解吧。
看到了作，看到了自我和食言，并没有太多相濡以沫…可能片中没有太多的狗血，有的是一些鸡毛蒜皮的小事，会让部分观众感同身受，是不给两星的原因…
爱情或许是偶尔争吵，一直在意。
2.5/5，就还好嘛，满足一些恋爱的幻想。一段舒服的关系，一定两个人都在努力
之前没看过30而已，第一次看到荧幕情侣这么搭的，国内爱情片里算还可以的，前半段谈恋爱还是很甜很般配的，没有那种特别大的浪漫，都是普通人互动的小细节，这种细节堆积也是后来缺少沟通矛盾升级的原因，很琐碎，对情侣来说应该很真实，毕竟大部分恋爱分手的原因都是失望堆积。
（不过毛晓彤杨玏这对cp倒是挺搭的…）
电影就是电影 总是让走散的人再遇到 总是让人很快的成长后学会珍惜 总是大部分的恋情都能破镜重圆 也挺没意思的 不过电影里的一些情绪表达确实也是蛮现实的 可能也是发生过在大部分人身上的故事 只是现实更骨感罢了 更声嘶力竭 甚至更难堪 这可能就是戏剧里有生活 而生活却更加戏剧吧 但是俩人的cp感还可以
前半段的甜蜜部分稍显油腻，后半段的剧情反而更贴近现实，但总感觉俩主演不太适合演电影，好像是在看一集加长版电视剧
一个好的前任，就应该像死了一样，不再打扰别人的生活。好在他们分开后都保持单身，最后才有机会再复合。
好PPT的电影啊，上映之前的宣传短视频都感觉挺不错的，没想到正片是短视频的拼凑，有点失望
