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".
只能说 女主性张力满分 是我肯定喜欢这样的人！
就我隔壁姑娘大概哭了一包纸巾吧（我两张）大家都在说徐帆妈妈，我觉得张歆艺演的刘玫好戳我，传承火锅底料的精神让我立刻马上就想去吃一顿火锅
剧情很流畅，比我想象的要舒服。像是《我的姐姐》里朱媛媛角色的一个外延，是“中国母亲”的故事加强，母爱的无私的确就是如此，集中呈现在电影里并不是一种夸大，情节就是故意催泪。爱情，亲情，家庭，理想，抗癌所要谈及的话题还挺多的。不过镜头语言平庸，不能说不好，只是没有什么亮点罢了。还有徐帆的台词怎么回事，还没有人护士说得好。
这大反光的滤镜到底是什么鬼？？？几百年没遇到这种让我真的看不下去的片子了，真·亮瞎眼。
翻拍自《世上最美的离别》，大部分设定都一样，所以……抛开这个不说，电影前半段还是很棒的，但是后面有点拖后腿，风格跳变看得我有点分裂…节目录制那段让我想到为母则刚这个词，也让我想起我和妈妈相处的一些回忆，妈妈的爱可以很温柔很细碎，也可以很刚硬很坚强，父母的爱是最无私的。很好哭，记得带纸巾。
艾玛，看不了讲妈妈的故事，虽然故事不新颖，情节也老套，也是什么都操心就为别人活的妈妈得了肿瘤，突然什么都消解了，生亡面前可能确实没资格讨论矛盾记恨过往，似乎我们这代的妈妈都是牺牲自己，希望下一代活出自己，那么我们这代感觉会活自己，孩子放养自己地上爬去吧哈哈。我觉得好的一点是没有过度煽情，有的地方甚至刚要哭就转场景了，给我留出来了缓解的时间，但就是这样到最后眼睛也都肿了
3.5 一部会有切肤之痛的影片。也是一样的和我妈关系紧张，所以当那句“从小到大我妈都管着我，要是有一天她不在了，我好怕啊”一出来，我就真的抵挡不住。我也确实就真的很怕啊
看之前没想到能看下去 挺正常的一帅小伙儿 挺不正常的俩小姑娘
刚看完，眼睛哭肿了～
一开始妈妈喂养婆婆，妈妈走了之后女儿喂养奶奶，爸爸很忙，要忙工作…所以女人应该背负这些？这是伟大？
人设有点毁三观，不过很细腻，慢慢品能品出很多很多细腻的感情
在当下百合作品越来越少的时候，能看到这样一个电影很开心。
加油李小美！加油张婧仪！
又一部翻拍片，本片翻拍自韩国电影《世界上最美的离别》，目前仍然没有打破我对中国最好的翻拍片是《误杀》的观点。
今年北影节主竞赛片之一。
徐帆的说话怎么这么奇怪，很出戏啊，女儿扮演者的哭戏不怎么样，瞪眼怒吼，父亲饰演者相对成功，事故后郁郁不得志，妻子患病后坚守，最后知道没救后共舞。奉献一生的母亲最后对女儿说的话，你要过自己想过的生活
太平庸了。导演是怎么在这样一个简单故事里做到毫无亮点又看不出重点的？
地下通道俩母女的所谓爆发真的尴尬，女孩子演技还差得多。这种片子么，永远有人为母爱买单。但说好看关于你妈的一切，却只给看了你妈抗癌的过程。
总觉得和韩国某个电影还是剧情节好像，不记得叫啥了，不过没人家拍的感人
5分 简直疯批女同 戏中没有一个正常人 完全是为了看床戏来的 多一星给女主 女主真的演出了疯批的眼神
