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".
明明是喜剧+圣诞 看得我心都快碎了 所有能说出“我不想失去你这个朋友”的人 都是没有共情能力的人 为什么不能换位思考一下对方的想法呢 对方难道就想失去这个朋友吗 但是冒着这样的风险却还是说出口了 为什么 想过吗 以及 这句话本身就是伪命题 说出口的瞬间 就已经在渐行渐远了 当然 如果现实能有电影里这么多全方位助攻 而且两个人本身就双向的 当我没说
cliche的爱情喜剧～电影的歌曲蛮好听的～
圣诞电影，就那样吧，不多要求了。几个男主演都挺养眼的。
【22/028】22年了我仍会为浪漫轻喜痴狂。我以为的褒义上的2022现代版的诺丁山。JLO的音乐绝对的加成很大，赏心悦目的组合，唯一的点是五十多演35的设定，够胆，也有人看。
每一次看这种美国家庭喜剧真的就是幸福满满，我们追求的不是最帅的，而是最适合的
奥林巴斯红吉普，浪漫老调听不烦。
非常老套和平庸，但是胜在轻松和对幸福的美好幻想，星期六的夜晚看这种电影最放松了。
虽然剧情有点荒谬也缺乏新意，女明星观众席随机盲选素人新郎，先婚后爱，结果误打误撞遇到真爱的故事让许久没有看到好莱坞浪漫爱情电影的观众换了换口味，好在CGS中国巨幕厅里给观众带来了一场视听享受，洛佩兹多首原创歌曲让人仿佛身临演唱会现场，让人忍不住随着动感热辣的拉丁音乐一起摇摆～歌坛天后果然还是有两把刷子滴！《On My Way》果断收进单曲循环歌单里！
可能也是当初熟悉起来的时机不对，可能是我不够有勇气，也可能是人家根本不喜欢我呢。
偶遇的爱情，巨星下凡，虽然是不可能发生的故事，但挑动一下粉丝的痴心妄想，听听好听的歌，也不赖。
速食电影 但是不看又一直想着 所以还是看了... 就很套路...
我想知道都谁投资的？JLo这个卡位真不至于吧？还在接这种戏？剧情莫名其妙且无比俗套，那合唱简直让我看到了凤凰传奇，要不是好久没去电影院了，死也不能看这个。
scary and funny. Cheap Netflix film
男版Notting Hill,歌是真好听，身材也是真好，两人完全没couple感
毫无任何惊喜与意外，都在预料范围内，欧文老了以后感觉都脱相了，再也没有看上海正午那时候那样帅了
从一个我意想不到的层面去诠释爱情，这不是人鬼情未了，这是浪漫至死不渝，love never die
非常喜欢这个"不完美"结局：虽然小女孩没有帮助队伍获胜，但是她勇于挑战自己，战胜恐惧，就已经是胜利了。(当然我这样说属于偏题了)
彩云易散琉璃脆，横祸袭来生死间。
真是好久没看过如此俗烂的剧情了，甚至每一个俗点都是没有任何意外地猜中，但我们还是需要看这样的电影，就像偶尔吃吃垃圾食品也没什么不好的对吧？
只能说一般，什么号称现代版人鬼情未了，问题是女主竟然用的是最古老的冲晒房技术，我年轻的时候搞过，不好玩。都什么年代了，不要说这显得女主很文艺，放在二三十年前可能是，但是现在，我这个老阿姨都觉得匪夷所思，所以压根打动不了我。
