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".
但是其他角色演技依旧吊打两位主角
呜呜呜好哭好看。两人在清晨的迷雾里的画面太美了，nana的演技又惊艳到我了，明朗又脆弱。“能遇到自己爱的人，简直就是奇迹”。还要表白配乐～
温导回归恐怖片后的水准还是顶级，各种经典元素海量奉上，镜头语言太强，谜底揭晓后开始喜剧时间，警局屠杀又血腥又恶趣味，扔椅子那简直笑不活了
2021-09-12 在悬疑套路上稍微开了个小口子，再缝合上大量血腥情节，观感还行。发现导演的女性选角， 包括他的女性配偶，审美都是维密天使 Miranda Kerr 式娃娃脸。《海王》就好多了，大制作不会太放纵个人偏好。看出了太多破绽，觉得有些遗憾吧。
普普通通日式纯爱片，2小时mv的感觉。但nana和老公颜值真的很顶👍
及格的温情治愈向电影，日影里的樱花真是百看不厌。卡司阵容强大，相比之下两位主演的演技显得跟不上了。余命十年，是馈赠也是煎熬，立不住脚的点在于，当生命到达最荒芜的尽头，爱情真的是最后的救赎吗？
一开始以为温子仁是故意追求2000s那种B级片质感，演员的演技也是“故意”演得那么“差”（女主、妹妹、没什么鬼用的hapa男主加浮夸的black female detective），我还觉得很玩味，以为是在反讽类型片呢。可耐着性子看完整部真的只能用就这就这？？来形容，整体跟early千禧的美式低成本恐怖片没区别啊。body horror也不恐怖，只能用awkward来形容。太土了。土到绝望。
想起了好多【人就松了】的时刻啊，冬天，再看一遍。多的一星给摄影老师，让人看着就想哭的摄影。
看完最大的感受，生命的短暂，在只活一次的进程中，作出自己认为值得的选择，才不遗憾。生老病死皆天命，去者不追。内心也很矛盾，现实生活的轨迹和洪流下，个体要做出什么选择，也需要付出很大勇气。不过最重要，还是活着。
温子仁中等水平发挥，大宅内的长镜游走跟随+主观视角呈现出视觉上的繁复多样，西雅图地下世界氛围感颇好（重提nirvana和pearl jam是惊喜），高潮杀戮戏招招封喉太过爽利；从精神层面的幻象到专注生理机制的畸变倒也可看，只是文本较贫瘠单薄，尤其是解决段落处理得简单了。
看之前看了眼评论，知道是感人向的，万万没想到自己会在周六的早上哭成傻逼，哈哈哈哈。xinyi和刘惜君的故事，不晓得有没有人能看懂这句话 哈哈哈哈。
对于一个想要寻死的人来说，看到认识的人在医院看诊就突然开窍想通了么，是挺突然的，可能无声无息地传递了正能量吧。
心理惊悚与“肉体”惊悚五五开的温子仁，用一场电影类型实验，表达了对多孩政策的恐惧 (误
布景穿搭真的很用心 娜娜酱衣服基本都是象征着生命力的绿色 四季取景都太好看了 每一帧都是壁纸 以及颜狗真的很磕(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
“还有十年”
看看美女谈恋爱还可以，除了靠在妈妈肩膀上那段有触动到，其他没有觉得很好哭
低于期待值，没什么令人感动的地方，更适合剪成一支MV，男女主在电影里的演技也不太出彩。
若是能有更多人把"Wokeism"、"My Body My Choice"这类进步正确的口号以如此有趣的方式呈现出来，也不至于让围观群众听到耳朵长茧；另外我估摸着温sir是按着自己的样貌找了个Pro Max版的男一吧，还让老婆演暗恋他的CSI探员，忒微妙。
低沉的情感贯穿整部电影，剩下10年的生命，找到属于自己的美好
依旧是没有什么特殊起伏的标准日式纯爱电影，其实想说日本电影虽然温吞看似冷漠但大多数还是非常理想化的，生命最后找到了为之奋斗的事业还有可以珍惜的人实在是——太童话般了。
