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".
6.5/10。不知道是不是近大远小的原因，我觉得好于《盛夏光年》。“我如果能爱你就好了”，苦涩的拒绝产生了惊悚感，这在青春片里是罕见的，但他爱的是男是女对他们并不重要，友情比爱情更珍贵。表达像欧美电影，但放置在高考这个意象如此鲜明的时期显得不够融合，网络直播的运用也没有很好。母亲是个有意思的角色但逻辑是混乱的。
我握紧你的手许下心愿，愿我们下一个盛夏能看见未来，愿心上人能让未来成为现在。
原来以为阿诗勒隼和黎簇是YYDS，没想到郑星宇更胜一筹，吴磊和子枫妹妹塑造出了不一样的青春，纠结与爱恋，最后也没有看到男主喜欢的人是谁，比较隐晦，但是大概能猜到～
该怎么去形容你最贴切，欺骗观众的感情要不得
看完像是过完了一整个青春和半个中年，盛夏原来早就在不经意之间过完了
张子枫真的好棒哦！相比之下吴磊逊色好多，不过哭戏还是有点动人。郝蕾和海南水果王的恋爱戏好玩，大人谈恋爱像小孩一样，而真正的小孩在努力装大人。三星半。
这是讲高考的？这是讲青春的？快别侮辱高考和青春了
果然这种题材对陈正道来说轻车熟路，故事讲得太棒了，两小时的电影一点不觉得冗长。不谈男女关系，格外喜欢郝蕾和张子枫的对戏。而陈正道会讲故事的一点在于，它把两代人生活中的痛楚处理的举重若轻，很多该哭的地方还能逗笑你，这真的很不容易。
父母们不再是单纯奉献的完美形象。郝蕾饰演的角色，困于母亲、妻子等形象之中，反不如女儿敢作敢当。母女和父子关系虽然没有做过多展开，却颇令人感慨。
#0729北京首映# 真的好，超出预期的好，各个方面的好。是我继《蓝色大门》《不能说的秘密》之后最喜欢的华语青春电影。电影用明媚又清爽的笔触勾勒出一段不狗血不套路不无病呻吟不歇斯底里的少年故事。一个人年少时一定要经历一场暗恋，为此思量，为此忐忑，然而当回望的时候，已经能够如此平静，注视曾经的执著，轻微叹息。少年时光是悸动、是遗憾、是孤勇、是成长，是将轻微的疼痛与哀伤凝成对自己的和解与悦纳，最终镌刻成永远闪闪发光的一秒24帧的青春。张子枫永远让人惊喜，自然细腻又动人，用眼神讲述着无可言说的少女心事，小心翼翼地试探、靠近，太能让人共情。吴磊就是人群中最耀眼的少年，如果非要说剧本悬浮（我不觉得），那一定是悬浮在我们真正的青春中并不会有吴磊吧。
好尴尬啊 张子枫演出了一股油腻的味道 令人不适……三石目不转睛地盯着台上的MING的时候像是在告别。
无语...这样深的bl线有存在的必要？台词也很5年前的“小言”，为什么未来就是遇到互相喜欢的人？尴尬得脚趾扣地... 加上影院空调，我好像置身冰窖。
最开始认识陈正道，就是看他拍的青春片，这么多年之后，他再回来拍青春片，果然拍的游刃有余，赏心悦目，感觉他太轻松了，很完美的暑期档电影。本以为是甜甜的青春片，结果讲的却是成长，是每个人成长中都会遇到的“爱而不得”。父母那代人的爱情，又进一步强化了主题，巧妙的把年轻人之间的感情变成了学会接受，学会成长，从而完成它的价值观输出，但愿在未来，我们爱的人，也刚好可以爱我们。放在国内高考题材的青春片里，这片子就显得格外的特别，能学会接受自己，勇敢诚实地面对自己，确实是一件无比重要的事情。因为勇敢，真的很难。和《少年的你》相比，《盛夏未来》就是最明亮的那一面，编剧和导演用技巧精细设计了这样一个故事，不落俗，很漂亮。
我一直认为好的青春片就是成长片，这部做到了。没有人永远18岁，但永远有人18岁，真羡慕啊，想回到我的18岁，告未告的白，爱想爱的人，即使他不爱我，要勇敢，要诚实，要说出自己想说的，大哭啊大笑啊，尽力不留遗憾，留下遗憾也没关系，因为这就是青春啊！（Ming应该是男生吧，一直没有出声音露脸，还有五月天的拥抱这首歌，晚风吻尽荷花叶～大家都懂的吧，爸爸还说放心，不会对你女儿怎么样的……合理的设定，还有一点，就是哪个直男会不喜欢子枫妹妹啊，所以）
md看到几个评论 难道青春片没有“堕胎怀孕”就是好电影？这莫名其妙的感情戏和男主的性取向 真的迷的一批 这就是国产好的青春片？那我真的是yue了
预告片是全片中最好看的部分🍵心疼妹妹呜呜呜 吴磊真的有点油了。
2.远离渣gay报平安
害 通讯录花钱进电影院玩剧本杀盘盘是gay的线索
剧本还可以，有新意，但陈正道就是个二流导演，拍得一般。而且，诸公所说的规避审查，小聪明而已，不至于。还和《少年的你》比呢，差得太远了。故事没必要放在高考背景下。
全程感觉男主太耽误女主学习了，令人好焦灼；尤其高考还盯着xyz再看，我更焦虑了……
