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".
可爱放松的一类片，四个人排列组合都挺好看，洒脱大方的茱莉亚全场最佳，我可太喜欢她了。不需要预设一定要找到某个类型的人才合适，说不定找个反差大的用心处下来也会有火花。不同选择支线的同一场景下镜头穿插还挺有趣的w，四个主角都有可爱之处不讨人厌，所以换种组合排列也不错，唯一的败笔是出轨支线，让两个女角一个歇斯底里一个宽宏大量……怎么看都很别扭。
有点好笑还有点好哭又有点好笑哈哈哈哈哈哈最喜欢跳楼的和叫醒服务很好玩！！！不要相信代表与合同工的童话故事不要做梦真的😱喜欢上的好朋友要结婚了真的很难过学生时代的爱恋……歌手和经纪人的追梦路，老年人的爱恋。结尾插曲好像是友谊地久天长吗？结尾莫名想到小时代……李栋旭的吻！！
毕竟“新年快乐”没毛病
没有那么不堪吧… 刚开始看确实没抱啥希望，但没想到看到最后泪目了。除了光洙那条线其他都还挺自然的啊，细细看完真的很温馨。有被老年组感动到。
很老套的合家欢电影 不过一年中确实需要有这么一个温情时刻
演员们都好好看啊，可是电影全程快进看的。。毕竟一个导演，今年又是野蛮女友上映20年，不觉得梗旧，反而让我勾起了那个回忆！另外唯一喜欢的是韩智敏唱祝歌那段，她在这部剧里变的好漂亮啊~
6.3分。想要拍得很有意思，但事实却是很乱。不过总体还可以，能看。毕竟是意大利🇮🇹人，逻辑混乱很正常😂
不好看，很普通的起承转HE。原本该细细挖掘刻画的黄昏恋，高中生some都太轻飘飘，中年男女互相错过那个可以给四星，灰姑娘和屌丝男故事太俗套了！作为时间标记的DJ是不是只在酒店出现过一次啊。模仿痕迹很重但是没有真爱至上好看，虽然真爱至上也没那么好看…
缘起性空，缘汇则生，缘离则灭，诸行无常，随缘变化，执着是苦，放下是乐
一般来说温暖贺岁片都会给高分，但这部只有堆砌，没有融合升华。比类似题材的《新年前夜》《结婚前夜》更无趣
尽管最后元真儿和李栋旭真的吻得很硬，但看到一大票我喜欢的卡司们还是度过了愉快的两小时。
下雪天和圣诞节真般配 我就喜欢这种节日出的一定是happy ending的电影
能看到细碎动人、令人会心一笑的片段也不错，新年，仿佛一切都充满希望，可以重新开始。
我太爱这种相互联系的感觉了，作为贺岁片来说是不错看的，大家怎么都这么harsh😂虽然说和真爱至上有非常多相似之处，但是很显然他本来就是想做到差不多的份上吧😂总之看得我又哭又笑的。
真的好土啊救命，好久没看过这么老套的合家欢了，尤其是李栋旭那个part，尬出一个兵马俑……比love actually离谱多了……我愿意直接看帅哥美女的海报
遇到不同的人，我们会变成不同的自我，灵魂伴侣其实不存在！
吴孟达达叔参演的大话西游网大，戏份还不少，片中有一段特别告别的闪回。男女主不惹人厌，尤其是女主，还是非常俏皮可爱的，男主相对弱一些，可惜剧本还是太同人太凑合了
剧情零散 不知道说什么 打扫时在那蹦跶真的挺作的
两天前刚好看过真爱至上，虽然相比之下这部的故事显得又土又假，但是架不住妹子们好看啊
倒也不至于这么不堪，作为跨年合家欢电影timing卡得刚好。华丽卡司，及格线以上的水准。最精彩的是韩志旼和Morning call，韩志旼之我爱上了我的朋友却不敢表白的老套剧情演得不那么无聊，直接闪婚这有些逻辑不通，我最了解你可是还是娶了别人太刀了。最不喜欢的李栋旭元真儿，为什么霸总突然爱上清洁合同工？阖家欢乐辞旧迎新的时刻依然还是有伤心难过想要寻短见的时刻。2021年就到这里为止了，明年重新开始吧！
