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".
能拍能映讲述形婚搭伙过日子的电影 就离不用形婚搭伙过日子的社会更近了一小步
happyending！既浪漫又搞笑，虽然最后被发现的时候不被理解，很心酸。但总归结局是好的，很难得，毕竟在亚洲这片土地上！女主这对cp颜值真的很高！我们什么时候能有这样光明正大的影视剧！
五星全部给此时此刻被北方同行衬托得格外耀眼的印度。7.5
剧情虽然套路但男主出柜和彩虹游行还是煽到我。我国要是现在拍出这种剧情我能无脑五星。
现在的宝莱坞已经可以惊艳所有人了，歌舞老本行照样拍的好（喜欢婚礼那段歌舞！），主题层面也不落后，敢想敢拍，而且非常真诚，哪怕是理想化的结局也照样动人。女主人公超级酷，在警官上司家访那段好精彩！
就，很真实…前面的部分放在中国来说完全不违和。而且导演真的很懂gay，里面的肌肉，gaydar，然后许多gay也存在的男性毛病，都有体现。男主妈妈的反应真的算是很好了。印度的审查制度真的远超我国了🥲这样的结局真的太圆满了。什么时候我们才能有gay pride parade啊？羡慕子。（男主身材🉑）
这个题材印度来拍好新鲜，有动容~只要有真情，男同女同结婚也很美好～
我受到了诅咒，所以我拍了这电影让你们也受到诅咒
先浏览了一下，发现个东亚脸女演员。想想这些年看的印度电影，里面东亚脸比例，远高于中国电影里本土白种人比例。再比如，德里印度门国旗的卫兵、我去而闭门的陵墓守卫，竟然都是东亚脸。
不要害怕坠入爱河。一部关于男女同形婚的电影，对于他们在生活中小心翼翼的去爱，怕被发现，怕家人嫌弃，真的心酸。形婚后的生活碰撞，很有趣，直男和gay在生活中没区别的，毕竟受到的教育都一样。电影大结局很温馨，节奏把握的也很好，不过现实中我们都懂。结局看哭了，连印度都能上映这样题材的电影，中国的脚步真的是落后的不只是一点半点，勇敢一点吧，为自己活出精彩！
虽然带着一贯的印度歌舞
les和gay形婚，催婚催生就跟我们生活中的情况一样，结局也是在框架之内的he，真羡慕印度可以拍lgbtq电影啊，而我们甚至连擦边球的耽改都殉了
好甜！好甜！最后画面停留在五口之家的时候本人流下了最真诚的彩虹色泪水啊！
对印度的les和gay两个群体都给予了关注。细节很感人，歌很好听。希望相爱的人都有相爱的机会。
？说比灵媒蠢不过分吧？像是《特修斯之船》爱好者弄出来的
真的是非常佩服，宝莱坞印度电影把一个沉重的话题阐述得如此清楚而又温暖，影片中融合了同性、催婚、催生、同性家庭等各种敏感的话题，是一部温暖而严肃的影片。
同性恋的同伴之行，有趣有开放，原来要隐藏下去是不容易的
美好得让人相信
整体很拖沓，起承转合都很套路化的宝莱坞电影，却依然要赞美。因为明明中印国情相似，我们只能感同身受却无法拍出这些故事，谁之过？最讽刺的是，我们的社会、民意和认同明明是在进步，有的东西却倒退得一塌糊涂...
前面嘻嘻哈哈还挺喜庆，后面两人出柜挺感人的
