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".
太甜了太甜了太甜了，在电影院戴口罩都遮不住我笑咧的脸，全程姨母笑，シロさん真的太好了
很难想象两个土生土长的日本人居然会对京都行期待成这样。。。又不是去夏威夷！
每一个桥段都是大人的恋爱真正的模样。全程姨母笑，京都旅行+片头歌简直暖到融化，片尾歌居然是Spitz。西岛秀俊的每一件毛衣和针织衫都好好看。
一万次被西岛秀俊笑出一脸褶子的脸迷死！一百次想把家里装成同款厨房和客厅。这一次，有认真的回看菜谱。
延续了连续剧的轻松幽默，附带美食教程的画风。个中人物也是之前的重聚，除了史朗的父亲换了演员。片末沐浴在樱花丛中的史朗贤二，让人对中年同志的美好生活也是充满了遐想。
还是更适合电视剧，电影太长，就容易平淡。不过他们两人本来就过着平淡中开出樱花的生活，多么让人羡慕。精打细算的日子和精心制作的美食，再加上彼此宽慰和体谅，激情褪去后的生活里，爱意像美酒一样酝酿得愈加醇厚。
真的是汤姆克鲁斯嘛！故事还是平淡日常的风格，只不过用误会的次数稍微多了一点点。感觉到他们需要平衡亲友和爱人之间的关系，确实蛮微妙的。理发店新人说的“如果和最亲近人都不能直言不讳那还有什么意思” 也挺对呢，转告别人的话的时候要委婉一些，但说自己的心声还是诚实一点比较好，大概。两位主演和副cp都好自然啊，尤其最后生日晚餐和赏樱野餐的律师，感觉亲近感要溢出来了。矶村还是很可爱捏~ | “樱花好美啊” “是啊” “能和身边人说好美，真好啊”。
还是很治愈啊！故事很平淡，可是很温馨，细水长流的生活真美好，希望日子就这样日复一日平静的度过。话说两位大叔颜值真的很高啊，看到时候嘴角带笑，内心充满平静和美好，甚至想照着电影里的菜谱复刻一份美食。
从剧开始追，真的是很好的一部电影，剧开始的时候史郎还非常恐惧关系被暴露，如今可以堂堂正正对贤二说:我想告诉每一个在这条街上走的人，我有多为你自豪。以及，两人之间呈现的-我对象突然对我这么好他是不是要死了？？和我对象突然很奇怪，他是不是要死了？？中年人平平无奇的爱情真的好甜，笑中带泪，能让大家在电影院里一起笑的电影真的不多。
让人看到了当爱情褪去激情，回归平淡日常的温馨与甜蜜，西岛真的好帅，小日向先生也是。
两个大叔的爱情美好的让人微笑让人眼眶发热，互相担心健康，不愿意爱人受委屈，全心全意的爱得细致入微，是真爱该有的最美模样。。。西岛秀俊的微笑特别有魅力，大叔们的家布局布置真赞，物品不少却各归其位十分清爽。。。片首的京都之旅，各处风景美得一丝不苟，令人向往。片尾的东京樱花树下的野餐，浪漫温柔。
看到开头两人去京都旅游，我竟然哭了起来，那种体验已经很难去拥有。首尾照应互相担心对方是不是要死掉也是很中年人心态。一切都很美好，感觉有美食和爱人相伴好像真的能过好这平淡的一生。ps作精阿航真的笑死我
糖分爆表了 わからないんだけれど、人の嬉しいことていうのは、やっぱ嬉しいな！刚好两周前去了京都 看史郎和賢二在二年坂的小路上散步 在清水寺门前拍照 在平安神宮抽签 在泰平阁上看风景 自己也跟着重温了一遍京都之旅（最后花吹雪的画面美得想哭 亲一下又不会怎么样！！
开头差点就拍成剧集流水账，好在后期捕捉回来那种温情
没想到在电影版里两位都要一下怀疑对方是否出轨/变心，因此这样平淡的生活才有了点浪漫的趣味～美食大于内容，情感最是细腻温柔，至于主线是什么，我真的不知道哦！虽然一切亲昵都只体现在日常相处中，但是这样的感觉很舒服。西岛秀俊到底是什么样的男人？
试问哪一对情侣不想活成这样？！！！尊重彼此，为他着想、为他担忧为他着急。没有一个亲吻，但是甜的我嘴角不停上扬！那种砌在生活里的甜，每一次把你说过的话放在心上就很感动！史郎也太幸福了，收获这一对这么爱的的“婆媳”！！！通透而又充满爱！
以浪漫开篇，以浪漫做结，史朗贤二的故事永远治愈动人。即使是剧版温情的重复滥用，即使是琐碎日常的填充堆叠，却依旧抗拒不了时时袒露的爱与温柔。忧虑在内心不断翻搅，掩藏的疼痛不露声色，倾诉的泪水中是无力的应答，逆来顺受是向生活妥协的姿态，结痂的伤口却道出奋力反击的必要。用力的过好每一天，用力的去爱去珍惜，一切都是恰好的模样，一切都是甜蜜的暴击，在误会中是深爱的告白，在樱花树下是定格的幸福。我想跟走在这里的每个人炫耀你的好，你是我一生中最美好的遇见……
心情愉悦的看完，很多时候真是不由自主露出轻松的笑容。互相担心着对方真的很让人感动，很治愈啊每个人都（大概除了店长）如果能一直拍日常下去就好了。
西島俊秀真的是帥 演技自然舒服 老了也是老的帥 讓我想起梁朝偉 內野聖陽也演的超級好超級娘 最後媽媽的叮囑陪伴自己的家人真的大淚奔 討論的問題其實也很深刻的 讓老一輩是否接受新的家庭觀念 如果不接受 相處會怎麼改變 親情能否延續 那個逗逼經紀人真的太好笑了 反差萌 美食其實在電影裡弱化了 變成中場過渡的煮飯節目 但還是五星！各種生活小事真的太暖太治癒了
这个题材的局限性？就是适合电视剧而不适合拍成电影
