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".
尽管主线有点乱，情感有点散，但仍有值得一看的温暖。
单薄，是这部影片给我最大的感觉。
直球又可爱的罗熙小天使 不仅仅是活跃影片气氛 更是男主成长不可或缺的一部分 是缪斯呀
这套戏这么高分都是允儿粉的吧...一点都不感冒，2个老大不少的人演高中生入不了戏也没cp感。男主怎样天才也没说，父子情也几笔带过....都不知是爱情片还是亲情片
父子的和解还是可以的。
火车站建站逻辑有点奇怪 节奏拖沓 共情不足 最大的高潮在于幻象里的姐姐 男主少年感为零 像个大叔 机场桥段怎么还借鉴了阳光姐妹淘的配乐 评分太虚高 除了一个不必要女性角色的颜 纯属浪费时间
比预期的好看很多，中间有很大的反转。前面比较轻松，后面比较感动。女主线的份量太低，重头戏全在亲情线，不平衡。
韩国电影题材真是丰富，这才是电影森林该有的样子，而不应该尽是意识形态，主旋律。
幻想中的姐姐确实是个很出彩的部分，真人故事也自有打动人心的力量，但也有抒情过猛的缺点。
主旋律技巧纯熟：将公共问题化约为私情，然后使劲煽……高张人本主义艳帜以获取票房。私情方能感人，这是吾国尸位素餐的萱萱们懒得理会的。
片名取得不好，故事背景的趣味性，通往家的唯一道路居然是一条运行中的铁轨，意外和明天不知哪天会降临，建车站的主线故事很精彩。至于爱情线和姐弟情显得平淡了些，父子的感情爆发也比较突然就是了，只能说还是中规中矩的一部亲情电影
朴正民和我允的爱情线足够自然也足够好看，互动啊一些搞笑的点都非常好，我允完全看不出是爱豆啊，就是被林允儿倒追这个事情是真实存在的吗。没想到最大的反转是姐姐早就不在了。父亲的形象让我想到了铁道员，一样也是因为恪尽职守最后在一生中留下了遗憾。和解也就是常规的套路了。8/10
故事挺不错的，但是拍的不够感动，很多点没有力量，爱情来的莫名其妙，但是亲情又铺垫的太少。
三星半。好久好久没有看过韩式催泪弹了。两个小时爱情戏少的可怜，但是父爱，姐弟情深倒是拍的落泪。。
爱情片的结构设计很欧美 但仍然保留着属于韩式的剪辑和人物 但不得不说爱情元素在片中显得不那么和谐 姐姐这个角色设计的非常隐晦但隐含着许多意义 比如阴影与阴霾 亲情和羁绊 后半程父亲角色的发力也足以赚取很多眼泪 虽然林允儿美的不像话 但片中的比重还是显得有些瑕疵
林允儿的戏份真的很多余，再给姐姐些人鬼情未了的剧情设计就好了。
姐弟交心…
走铁路的场景能唤起些小时候的记忆。情绪层面的营造很传统很韩国 略微有点刻意的催泪段落 以及轻松好玩的桥段穿插。
有点像亲情版的〈现在去见你〉，甜甜的初恋故事我倒是看的挺开心的，允儿真可爱，但核心故事内容有点一般～评分7.0吧～
