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".
音乐真好！想搜一下，再听！
该怎么去形容你最贴切，欺骗观众的感情要不得
作为一个刚高考完也不久的还在读大学的人，我们分的清什么样的青春片是真实的，什么是矫揉造作的，《盛夏未来》可以说是今年目前最好的青春片了，也非常喜剧，里面的事不就是经历过就是身边的人会经历的
真的惊喜了，看过内地最好的青春片。不能剧透。
还是很有时代感的青春片，正如我不玩抖音，也已经对当代中学生生活感到生疏了。影片上映时性向争议闹很大，所以看的时候都在找蛛丝马迹，也觉得这种点到即止的暧昧尺度很好。陈正道各方面把控都很成熟优秀了，再值得一提的是选角很好，张子枫表演自然有代入感，吴磊这种过帅不日常的校草形象正适合，郝蕾也是“年轻时玩得比你们都疯”的家长，选厦门也是文艺神秘时尚藏富的城市，对电子音乐的推广也是电影里少见
有点可惜，一个是日常中学生的学习、考试，还是成了背景，不够真切，少了点痛切的青春底色。后半段两人的情感有点反复过多，显得粘滞，不够清爽。如果导演能再退开一步，从青春情感引申到人生况味，那也许就能更上层楼了。
试问谁不想拥有郑星宇.........的房间呢
5.5/10，能把音乐节现场拍的这么无感也是没谁了，主角们都不愿蹦起来，还指望观众从中体会什么呢？更不用说现实中的音乐与画外音乐无来由的切换，让人傻傻分不清楚。至于中文字幕里的“她”，英文字幕里的“MING”，也没有什么吸引力。
很喜欢演员在里面的一句话 ：我最讨厌青春电影了
谢谢你脱下假面陪我拍了场假拖，让我找回真实自我；
剧情很俗套，去电影院看的唯一好处是电音体验非常加分，令人想起疫情前还能去音乐节还去蹦迪的日子。
很惊喜校园生活的展现 太真实了 背景人物也很生动立体 起哄的同学 格外爱听学生的八卦办公室老师们 班主任也像极了我中学时期那些认真负责 始终为学生考虑的老师们 看完格外舒适 是八月盛夏吹来的一阵凉爽清风
729@CBD万达~看的首映，久违了觉得还不错的纯校园片~吴磊实在是特别特别特别校草的好看，校园片真是太适合弟弟了，但确实演技和张子枫相比需要进步…
非常棒，看的非常开心，整个影片都用那种很正常坦然的态度去面对离婚，早恋，出轨，同性恋这些生活中很常见的事情，没有了歇斯底里，让人相信这个社会也会慢慢变得更包容，更美好。
在yxz家唱起拥抱的时候，我还是恍神了，是曾经的青春片的味道。在诺大的DJ台上，再次放起妹妹的原声混音版拥抱的时候，我又回神了，嗯，是Z世代的青春片了呢。我，还，是，老，了。
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。
男主的性向还是很明显的吧，从他爸爸对女主爸妈说的那句“我儿子不会对你女儿做什么”，到观众那句“MING今天穿得好帅啊”，到“MING”最后在打碟的时候的整体氛围，再到男主亲了一下女主说“要是我也能喜欢你多好”。那么问题来了，导演既然想用男主线讲同性恋与家庭、与自己和解的故事，为什么要这么藏着掖着？而且这一系列的和解是用什么方式呢？用女主这条线来推动的，最后女主对男主也无法释怀，所以感觉这个故事讲得还蛮宣传不对正片的……
MING就是个符号，不涉及年龄，地位，性别，性向，就是在最美好的青春岁月对美好事物义无反顾的向往，渴求与探索。
看到了导演的努力，但这样的电影只能又一次让我觉得悲哀。在大陆只能用这样遮遮掩掩的方式展现性少数的困惑和痛楚，即便他生在一个家境优渥的环境。再一次证明性少数在这里是一件多么见不得人的肮脏的事。我为自己感到悲哀。为几千万性少数感到难过。更难过的是，随着大环境的收紧，以后连这样的晦涩擦边球也大概率不会看到了。十年以后，当年轻人回放古早院线片，会不会竟然发现这已是性少数在大荧幕上能够争取到的那一点点可怜的正面形象。而即便是这一点点，在他们的时代也已经是一个消逝而无法重现的传说。
我还没有从这个片子里走出来的原因大概是我感觉到这里面有很浓厚的悲的底子，你不能掌控的事情太多，但你要接受的事情却也不少。很多个陈辰侧面凝视郑宇星的镜头都很精准的体现出了暗恋的落寞，那是多大声的音乐都不能击碎的无可奈何！
