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".
张子枫好，有一股文静不起眼但不知什么时候会爆发式疯起来的感觉。片中学校/社会对早恋的宽容接受度，放在台湾我还信，放在大陆就处处违和整体尴尬，大陆的学生那有这种说走就走的发泄机会/勇气，基本都是一路憋死到高考结束。海南水果王是个好人。
说来好笑，曾经也有人对我说过一样的话：我要是能喜欢你就好了，你要的那种喜欢。
富二代就可以上快班，我笑了；学霸暗恋的是长得帅的，我又笑了；最后富二代喜欢DJ还是个Gay，这点我认同~哈哈哈哈哈好哈哈哈哈哈！！
三星半。希望你喜欢的人刚好也喜欢你，子枫妹妹还是挺不错了，吴磊的确是女孩子很容易喜欢的男孩子，特别是前半段各种，开朗自信有趣的样子。只是他那段爱不得的感情线虽有隐喻但就莫名感觉生硬。弟弟演技还可以提高。最喜欢的段落就是他俩弹唱《拥抱》。这音乐只有你有，谁受得了哈哈哈哈哈。
故事很简单，很清淡，但并没有感觉很甜，总觉得弟弟说一些金句时还是有点演，而妹妹也没有真正爱上弟弟。但它很现代，已经和我们青春时代的爱很不一样了，哎。
想去看弟弟妹妹谈恋爱😊 看完了 弟弟妹妹没有谈恋爱 欺骗☹️
除非你是Alan Walker
第一次说起那个人的时候，我一看字幕就懂了。说话他/她听起来并无分别，但中文字幕从始至终都是她，而英文字幕一直是MING，没有出现过pronoun。看到有评论说不要纠结是男是女，主题是要表达你喜欢的人没有喜欢你，勇敢面对认识自己的成长蜕变。我相信导演可能是这样的意图，不然也不会用MING这个线索，但是真的中文字幕出来就是她，这个引导性就是让观众想成一个女生，而不是一个中性的角色，搞这么隐晦因为审查吗？
这是教我们要勇敢的片子。在成为大人之前，学会勇敢面对心底的秘密，接受残酷的真相，接受我们喜欢的人不喜欢自己，接受我们得不到一个美满结局。前半段明媚愉快的青春嬉笑，更凸显出层层心事后的挣扎未来。15年后再度响起的《拥抱》，是盛夏光年的回音，苦涩的恋情再一次上演。 我们，都要勇敢去爱，不怕流言，不怕受伤，不怕遗憾。 【个人臆测，加上一个G，永安便成了勇敢，衬衣上的AY也有了标签意义，更何况最后还有大大的“1”字印花呢~】
上学那会儿喜欢的人，连一起穿校服都会觉得是件甜蜜的事儿吧
电影中段的两人弹唱《拥抱》真是神来之笔，今晚的我差不多要跳起来叫好了。那刻的吴磊的桀骜气像白先勇《孽子》里的李青，短发的张子枫则是第二个《蓝色大门》的孟克柔。两个平行世界的无关角色，就这样冒出来在我脑里触碰一下。荷花池旁，蓝色泳池边，音乐会现场，恍然如梦，青春的神经涌动，禁忌般轻轻一吻，“纷乱世界的不了解”。很多人痛恨男主人设的取向和男女主loveline的问题，我倒觉得这部电影却因此而与众不同起来。
怎么越看越觉得吴磊像记忆中初恋的模样（dbq辱磊了
学渣+富家子+电音DJ小网红，为见对象高考弃考，复读。
结构完整、技法娴熟、选角准确，是合格的商业类型片。而在2021年的话语电影市场，“合格的商业类型片”竟然是如此的凤毛麟角。子枫真的又可爱又会演，和郝蕾的对手戏格外好看。希望有一天彩虹不再是孩子们郑重交换的秘密；希望有一天字幕里的“他”不需要掩饰为“她”；也希望又一天男同志可以独立行走，不要总是意淫直女的爱。
即便早先就被透露了片中的麦格芬，却也并未影响观影时的流畅与新鲜。流畅的，是较为真诚的生活节奏；新鲜的，是毫不土气的青春质感。无论从单纯的校园心思，还是到宏观的成长认同，影片在日常逻辑上都能自圆其说，能支撑于此的，显然不止钻研审查的算计而已。
成长就是学会面对，接受喜欢的人不喜欢自己。把一个略显无聊的故事延展的不错。重刷一遍，发现许多细节处理的很好，青春电影赢在没有任何道德色彩的宣判，只有流动却坚定的情愫。
BTW，那个吻的确是多余的，假如跟第一次一样中途打住，值得给多1星。
这营销真的恶心是真的恶心
郑星宇的性向不算是这个片子的擦边球吧，挺明显的，最后张子枫告诉他她从高二就开始暗恋的时候，有一丝丝的感动，也因为这一句话给前面所有不合理都看似有了一个合理的理由；这个电影直接把我整的生理不适了，很多的落脚点都在高考这个点上，那么高考对于女生以及其家庭都是非常的重要，那为什么电影对待高考所表现出来的，是如此的草率、主观、轻蔑，没有高考的氛围，有关学校的部分搞笑而滑稽，给人的感觉就是在看一个长达两小时的小品。拜托所有的青春片的导演，如果要在高考的大背景下讲故事，能不能展现一点真实的高考的印象，而不是打着毛茸茸的阳光，每个人的脸上都挂着少男少女的无忧无虑。ps.在这个片子里明显感觉三石弟弟壮了、也成熟了，以后也许没那么适合青春片啦。
和《渺渺》《蓝色大门》《盛夏未来》一样践行“他人即地狱”的青春同性片，尤其接吻，说秘密的情节和《蓝色大门》很类似。别说清新版的《少年的你》了，提鞋都不配
