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".
现在的爱情喜剧既不好笑也不煽情，剧情和台词既尴尬又做作还特矫情，真的脚趾抠地，无数次想关掉视频…🤯加一星给亚裔吧（虽然一个亚裔家庭这么喜欢圣诞节有点呃……可能韩国人？不过真没想到不过圣诞节的居然是Tag🤣）Josh这样温柔的男孩子也可以很迷人👏
网飞味太重了 角色发展太他妈突然了 当观众是笨蛋吗？网飞是默认自己的受众群体都不爱思考吗？可能是的。
反转的反转，最后是happy ending，但如果真有一位女性现实中这么摇摆的话，收获幸福的机会可能更渺茫吧
一开始就是当下饭轻喜剧看的结果最后纸板子出现直接泪奔了（。
哈哈，听说这个片子里有欧阳万成而且有攀岩场景才去看的！剧情虽然不令人惊奇，但还是挺好笑的。看一篇幕后采访里说，在攀岩那场戏里，欧阳万成和妮娜（女主角）在现实中和电影里的特点其实正好是反过来，欧阳万成非常恐高，而妮娜天不怕地不怕……
很好看，不知道为什么评分低。主角演技挺好，还挺自然，挺有意思。女主唱k那块太尴尬了！所以有趣相称的灵魂更重要是么，两人圣诞节合唱的那首改编的歌曲蛮好听的
不是烂而是是俗，这样的故事来来回回看了千万遍了，白人换亚裔换黑人换来换去故事永远是那个故事，一点新鲜东西都没有，一点都没有，只有尴尬得想把头埋进雪堆里的冲动。
很老套但是看到男主跟我一样的大额头就好亲切，多给一颗星给额头
好看，happy end 真实的自己才会闪闪发光哈哈哈
蛮传统的轻喜剧，最后一段致敬真爱至上点到了感动点上。
還挺可愛，就是有幾段對話太說教。Jimmy加一星，Jimmy完全就是我的菜，在交友APP看到他我要Super Like的那種！
看之前小侯問我最喜歡哪部聖誕電影，我說真愛至上。他說女主也是唉，我問那你最喜歡哪部？他說我喜歡的跟女主一樣：虎膽龍威，我說虎膽龍威也算聖誕電影？小侯笑著説男主也是這麼回答的。
我觉得比期待值更高。女主和男主正巧分别是在dating里欺骗内在和外在。其实女主说男主盗用photo欺骗的是identity，是piece of fiction的时候，她自己在Tag面前展示出来的只有容貌是真的，意外的还挺深刻的。关系里面保持真实最重要。我不知道是否人终其一生会有个perfect man，但是能找到一个自己觉得perfect的imperfect man也很难吧。
中规中矩的Holiday season 的搞笑电影，打发时间不亏
五星给欧阳万成。这么白的电影类别里他能当男主就是圣诞奇迹了。以及他演得很细腻，我们这种从小就长得不好看，爱而不得的悲伤，他演得特别好
满足了对圣诞爆米花爱情电影的大部分期待，欧阳万成应该让很多人都想起了自己的某位朋友啊哈哈，我真的对可爱真诚的nerd没有抵抗！也希望亚裔脸能多多出现在主流媒体不是stereotype的影视作品里
全场最惨：又有意思又贴心的帅哥Tag
没有出彩的剧情和值得回味的记忆点，感觉爱上才是狗血
中间剧情确实是烂，但是我好喜欢这个故事啊，这个结局我太满意了
刻薄一点，外貌不出众的人，几乎没有谈恋爱的机会，就有大把时间投入别的事情，也就是为什么会有契合别人的灵魂，女孩子一聊的来差不多都会心动，感慨，怎么这么幸运，遇到一个这么懂我的人
