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".
把个原本可能会很感人的故事与题材拍的矫情的要死，真的有人会对着靠音乐和旁白才能渲染出来的感情流泪吗？
OST作曲刘韬，aka 宇文硕，牛叉。
应该说是含朔量相当低的一部电影，但是还是能看到他的影子。片子节奏相当快，如果没有上一辈的故事加持，可能没有那么吸引人。可是这个上一辈的故事讲的实在潦草，总觉得背后有什么隐情。片子感觉勘破了爱情与人生，直击生死谜题。可是却也没说出什么，但是故事的流畅性是很好的，即使没讲出什么，你也愿意看完他。王珞丹可算是遇到了一个比较适合自己的角色，细听台词功力很可以的。王传君相比起来，吐字模糊，总体来说，片中女性角色更亮眼一点，不论是丁萌萌还是苏，不知道这是不是王朔创作多年以来的感受。
王老朔爷，不觉已经年逾花甲了。几年没出手，重逢还是熟悉的味道。那个阳光灿烂的七零年代有诗有梦的八零年代写的都是京圈大佬们肆意张扬的青春。入学长镜头简直魂穿娄烨的清北大学。慢视快手的设定挺有意思，可惜后半段科技脑洞脱节了，生命再久远也不能比爱更永恒。
呵呵，坐牢呢？只能说王传君又变成了关谷神奇哦～演的不错，嗯嗯😊
好电影一定是能调动情绪的，调动情绪的却不一定是好电影。如果导演想要表达人生的混乱、无序与终将失去的话，无疑还算成功。一切都是离别、一切都在失去、有情人成不了眷属、明白总要晚一步。
干细胞广告+王珞丹颜值担当+老配角演技担当+大段独白+长生不老+跨越时空的爱情
两个女主都喜欢，演技爆炸！！
《不老奇事》
不知道讲了啥 像是爱情像是年代故事也像一个悲剧 却仿佛有一种魅力吸引你看下去 就是没有逻辑的线索串起了故事 王珞丹真美啊 原来爱情就是 你来过一阵子 我记一辈子 如果记忆没有告诉你我爱你 那就用一辈子 用长长的一生去证明 结尾貌似是两个结局 其实我更愿意相信到车祸苏醒那里戛然而止 或许是最好的结局 爱了一生却谁都没有说出口 余生不长了 让他们在一起吧
前半段给人感觉很像忧郁版的阿甘正传，特别是女主的设定，后面吧，说实话也不知道具体想要表达讲了个啥，讲了很多，科学，生死，感悟，社会，无奈，时代，变迁，都说了又好像都没有说
这？？？开始以为是爱情故事，后来以为是干细胞宣传片，接着变成耶稣殉道，最后竟然是个奇幻片？？？？
演技感情都很到位，但是干细胞 特异功能 不老这些就有点扯没有完美的融入到故事线，还不如不扯这些纯谈人生与情感。这种类型《本杰明巴顿奇事》《怦然心动》是标杆，喜欢的可以去看看。
这？？？开始以为是爱情故事，后来以为是干细胞宣传片，接着变成耶稣殉道，最后竟然是个奇幻片？？？？
2021.12.12 旁白多到都能凑出一部广播剧了，你说我是看电影呢，还是听电影呢？反正我是真的讨厌王朔。
前半部阿甘正传，后半部本杰明巴顿奇事，这是朔爷写的吗？王传君，演的很好。
今天约会对象把我约到他家，我俩就全程看完这部电影诶🦦🦦🦦
朔爷味儿在前段儿很浓，很怀念：摇滚青年的油嘴滑舌和仗义；北京姑娘的嘴上满不在乎，内心敏感脆弱；
瞬间便是永恒，生命厚度决定情感浓度。王朔至死是少年。大家肯定都爱上丁萌萌了吧，以至于她死去时，仿佛真的失去了挚爱。
前半段是接地气的爱情故事，后半部分变成干细胞，外加眼睁睁看着王小莫他妹逐渐癫狂，越来越像神棍片了。能看出来想探讨很多深奥的东西，但是咱这完全没铺垫就转换的破本子就别来这么多花里胡哨的了吧？失望，太他妈失望，离谱，离他妈大谱……
