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".
故事简单。没有新意。除了抒情版的主题曲听的非常舒服之外。其他没有亮点。
平平淡淡的玛丽苏狗血故事，老套路的平行爱情，亦或者是低配版的与你共乘海浪之上
中年romcom蛮好看的诶！歌也都很好听，JLo状态太好了
好久没感动的哭过了！找回了很多感觉。很棒！让我想起了铁达尼号最令我感动的是承载你的生生不息灿烂而活，然后再次相遇，才是真正的happy ending!
这么些年难得出一个大咖主演的浪漫爱情喜剧，虽然俗不可耐但也看得轻松愉快。53岁的JLo的状态保持得实在惊人，电影里每一个造型都美翻了。另外一句JLO自黑的“我从没得到过任何奖项”台词令人不禁会心一笑。
他俩相遇看的第一部电影可能就注定了他俩是be吧
虽然俗套，但是全程嘴角上扬，甜甜的爱情谁不想要呢～影片中穿插了好多社交媒体的东西，确实很影响观影，但是现在明星的生活不就是这样吗～On my way 一出来，脑子里就一直想诺丁山里那句话，一边听一边想一边哭，喜欢上不对的人也是种灾难，幸好电影会帮我们实现happy ending 。里面的歌都好好听，生活都这么苦了，这点糖是需要的！！！！
在如今的时代背景下，不该再拍一部《诺丁山》
在23分钟的时候停下，为生命挽回宝贵的一个半小时。
圣诞电影Day15：今年的最后一部圣诞电影啦，剧情其实还是差不多的，依然俗套极了，不过主角换成了LGBTQ，又多了一点小心翼翼的彼此试探，还挺甜的
有意外之喜的爱情喜剧，虽然故事抓马而老套，但是剧情中有关爱情的讨论还是有一定借鉴意义，想要得到不同的结果就要换一种不同的行动；歌舞部分稍微压缩点更好，虽然JLo阿姨的舞台是挺不错，和比自己小二十多岁的Maluma站一起也没什么违和感；植入广告有点过分了，不离手的钻石Swell水杯，coach、guess等等。
在中国巨幕cgs看的这部，华丽的舞美和服装细节都得以呈现，彷佛真的就在演唱会现场，开头特别吸引眼球。
剧情一般，音乐好听，对洛佩兹印象最深的还是曼哈顿女佣和拉尔夫费因斯搭戏，以及和大本的韵事
同样女明星遇上平凡男主 诺丁山男主的颜值就合理多了 毕竟是休叔 不过本土狗好喜欢这种先婚后爱的情节 有泪点（救 而且歌很好听
插曲很好听，女主很漂亮，剧情老套但还是看哭了。 片尾的短视频里81岁的老夫妇很可爱。
俗套到不能再俗套的剧情了……不过洛佩兹身材是真的棒～难怪大本念念不忘！
好久没有看这么台词没有一句对的电影了。但是，有种很单纯的感觉。
就是甜甜的LGBTQ主题的圣诞romcom呀~两个男主都太cute了呜呜呜
大明星和热爱教学的数学老师一见钟情的老套romcom故事，但是jlo和Owen毫无火花，最关键的是也不太com，最好笑的地方还是最后十分钟jlo踩着高跟鞋跺脚式狂奔赶飞机hhh…以及第一次在电影院看高清舞台，音效非常好
歌曲不错，剧情单薄。主演俩人要是能回到《曼哈顿女佣》《上海正午》就完美了，如今岁月已经让两人的脸上充满了疲惫
