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".
以亲情为线索的一部影片主题，故事的情感关系讲的有点复杂和夸张，但想要表达的人性本善之美还是非常的正能量，一个小女孩串联起来的几个不同的人物关系，感觉全世界都在为她的成长而买单，幸运到爆炸的人生轨迹，永野芽郁又一次大量的哭戏有点用之过度了，希望可以看到她不同的发展，需要更加历练自己的演技，影片整体水准也很一般的水准吧！
除了光怪陆离的各种面具很好看，案件不知道在说的啥。探戈跳的挺帅气的，但是莫名其妙
跟对象一起看的 画面不戳 前半段太混乱了 而且动机确实是常人无法理解
这次终于不用找秋刀鱼了！（噗！出彩的地方全在演员们的演技上。
我知道它逻辑乱飞，人设崩盘，亲子关系，恋爱关系都天真到感觉到生活在乌托邦。（前半部分是钢琴广告，后半部分是大型倡议生子现场，槽点多多。）但是毕业合唱那场戏真的泪点满满，鼻子酸了又酸，被不同的没有血缘关系的爸爸妈妈养大，那个爱哭鬼小嘤终于还是健康长大了。（选了永野芽郁和十元还有田中圭，拯救了这部电影）
反正故事本身属于是典型的「创作者一厢情愿的自我感动」，根本就没有为角色塑造合理的行为模式，而且还假惺惺的，难以共情。可能原作小说会把来龙去脉讲得更合情合理一点吧、电影剧本没改好，要不然这个故事（尤其是母亲的角色）真的讨人厌。不过永野芽郁演得倒是真不错，各种不同情绪的俗套桥段都演得很自然，她对付这类家庭商业片已经可以说是信手拈来了。
这剧情真是离谱，把我看笑了，不是，还对标小偷家族.笑的我打鸣
看原著小说介绍确实是值得泪目的一个故事，一个女孩经过毫无血缘关系的家人们的接力最终成为了走上红毯的新娘。但是从另外一个角度看，她变了那么多名字最后冠上夫姓的那一刻我也没有很为她高兴。“母亲”这个角色肯定是文本中至关重要的但是电影却是逼着我哭，有一种人工催泪的嫌疑。十元妆造真的是脱离现实有点悬浮了。电影真的可以叫《我和我的三个冤种老公》
全员好人想营造一个温柔的世界 但一个接一个地换老公这叫做接力棒 还美约其名为了女儿 亲生父亲从巴西回来都不找一下女儿吗？二号父亲你那么有钱怎么就那么想不明白她就是为了你的钱 三号父亲更奇怪 结婚当天才知道她有个女儿还一直对女儿呵护备至哪怕老婆早就走掉了你真是比恐龙还罕见 反正这里的人我全程都无法理解。但是十元真的好好看 特喜欢看她和女儿在床上游泳和捡到了50元然后开地暖在地上拥抱这两段 好有爱的母女妈妈和女儿都可爱极了！一脸驯良人畜无害咩酱也好看 但和这个老公毫不来电也是看得人捉急。3星算是给十元和咩酱的造型吧
毕竟东野圭吾的小说改编，也不算很拉胯，只是拍摄上并不觉得精彩
まあ、なんてもないストーリーだけと、感動がない。
看二个主演，故事还是一般，里面关于酒店的描述让我想起了很早的一部英剧，巴比伦饭店
许多人物没立好这件事先不说，全片最后一句台词，惊人的気持ち悪い。这哪里是讲述无血缘家庭现状，活脱脱就是被男人拖累的一生。女孩亲爹为了追梦抛弃妻子，二爸意味不明有钱老好人，三爸东大毕业精英但找不到人生意义，女从天降才得以快乐生活。未婚夫幼稚又自恋，最后大言不惭说：然后这一棒传到了我手中。？？？？女主是人啊，不是让你们传来传去然后以此获得一些什么个人满足和价值实现的东西ok？
意义不明的一场犯罪。这豪华的卡司阵容多少有些老龄化了。。。
啊？我觉得比上一作好看啊 虽然刑警和饭店的操作仍然让人搞不懂 彩蛋suki下次俩人带着面具给我一起跳舞
一个挺感人的童话故事，但是仔细想想实在是太奇怪了，只有好人的世界总是虚假的
达子&理查&拓少PK三大腹黑恶女，行骗天下·假面篇
东野是块好牌子，但是还是避免不了有种我木村男神被消费了的感觉……
不应该饿着肚子看这部片的。/我的泪都是为十元和小女孩流的。/咩酱稳定发挥，岡田健史全程一个表情😅。/女主角感情戏太潦草了吧，河边那场戏我白眼都翻上天了，这就确定关系了？！/能写出这种没有繁殖癌男的亲情故事真不知道是天真还是愚蠢。
剧情其实是比较无语，但是不得不说肤浅如我被治愈到了，永野芽郁真的好耐看啊。
