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".
郭敬明的电影是屎样的屎，韩寒的这部则是巧克力样的屎。外表再好看，它也还是屎。
周末 阴天 整个人都被湾湾电影🎬治愈了 豆瓣评分也不影响我喜欢看这种安安静静很舒服的电影 自己喜欢就好
后劲很大，喜欢韩寒风格的你会觉得是最佳的一部，我很喜欢，我们这场都是等电影黑屏了才离座，我准备二刷，刘昊然，有点爱上他了
好喜歡！好喜歡！好喜歡！有別於一般校園愛情故事的節奏，早餐非常有質感，故事娓娓道來，令人幸福感爆棚～
看完只想吃早餐，我也想吃小黄瓜加鲔鱼的清爽饭团啦！想到高中也会有学长给我买一定要早去才买得到的包子诶！还会在我数学书上写“加油”，虽然现在想起来再也没有什么感觉，但当时还是蛮心动的。
我可太吃这一套了！浪漫惨了，要死要活儿的🌚
爱情线、兄弟线、亲情线、成长线，每条线都刻画得别扭又矫情，白瞎卡司了！电影看的生气，开年第一堵！
比我想得好看一点，那里面的饭团🍙看起来挺好吃的哈哈
大年初一起大早，太值了。
一个狗血电影，突然的外债，突然的警察戏份，突然的大城市打拼，车祸发生手法，很多行为常人无法理解，就普通观众看完不知道他想讲什么
现在的人都不爱看“残酷青春”电影了。我上学那会大家最喜欢这种类型的了。小镇青年，海岛，公路，机车，女孩。。。这不就够了么！也就韩寒还在给他自己和那一代人拍这种电影。
故事跌宕起伏但太狗血了那女的不知道有啥作用飙摩托这种狗血桥段真的跟烂诶罢特u1s1最后飞珠江那里还是让人肾上腺素飙升欢歌和黄毛cp感好强啊好喜欢尹正的表演张力三星给尹正btw好讨厌说教类、鸡汤类令人作呕的台词韩寒写的东西真的好令人无语故事层次够丰富但内容一点不丰满总之很扑街
如果不是喜剧，就不要预告片做成喜剧的样子，好吗？
这个电影很韩寒，不得不说，韩寒的审美还是超棒的，飞驰人生的舟山，四海的南澳岛，真是又小众又好看。四海还是有很多关系，友情、亲情、爱情，在电影中我看到了友情和爱情的不确定性，也看到了亲情也不是那么坚不可摧，可能就是这些矛盾的组合，就是生活吧。期待韩寒的更多电影，也希望刘昊然越来越好。
前面百分之九十的时间都在无病呻吟，而本应是整部片的大手笔高潮飞越珠江，最后花了可能甚至不到一首歌的时间就从动手筹备到飞跃成功全讲完了。以及确实是很好奇怎么做到的，明明是在一部电影里，几乎每一个角色都割接得仿佛在演不同电影。远离至死是少年。
真是很久没有看过这类电影了，印象最深的是片尾的火车，有些意思
好愚蠢的县城青年，好架空的虚假感动青春疼痛故事，不会拍电影可以不拍找个班上上吧，别来浪费资源了韩寒
校园的懵懂爱情是最美好的！话说周兴哲唱歌也太好听了吧！
一连串表白那段看到笑哈哈感情食物链吗这是
这种所谓的热血青春真是无法共情，另外女性角色特别面目模糊，勉强3星。P.S.出于对公路飙车党的厌恶，再减个1星。
