The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multi-layered and textured than Cassavetes at his best. Ostensibly it concerns a 14-year old Catholic girl, Wynne (Agutter) growing up in this post-modern wasteland, who develops a crush on her much older adoptive brother (Marshall)- a crush which perversely deepens and grows into infatuation once she starts to believe he is the local sex killer. This is in itself an idea that makes you sit up and jolt, but as the narrative develops, it continues not necessarily along a linear path but in several confusing and fascinating directions: the family's history, (detailed effectively in chilling flashback during an improvised seance) is a chequered one, and has suffered at least one major relocation and upheaval in the last ten years. At the crux, however, it's the depiction of socialal changes that make I Start Counting so fascinating and elevate its language far beyond the confines of the standard horror film. The major subtext- that teenage girls were maturing more quickly than before, and developing full sexual and romantic appetites (even if in thought rather than deed) but were not possessed of enough discretion to make the right choices- was a step forward for a genre in which its young females had previously been portrayed as bimbo victims (Cover Girl Killer and The Night Caller spring to mind), but not one that all viewers would necessarily agree with. But most striking of all, and possibly the most enduring image which the viewer will take away with them, is of the masterful symbolism with which director Greene invests every shot. Every inch of the Kinch family's world- their house, their walls, their TV, Agutters underwear, bedroom furniture and toys, Sutcliffe's clothes, Marshalls van, the local Catholic church, their town centre, their record shop) - is painted a bright, scintillating white- a white which, by inference, is slowly becoming smudged and corrupted with the dirt of the outside world. White also symbolises, of course, purity and innocence (two qualities Catholic schoolgirls are supposed to hold dear), and it is into this world of innocence that the ever-present red bus (a symbol of violation and penetration), conducted by the lecherous yet similarly juvenile Simon Ward, makes regular journeys. The allegory is further expanded in one scene where Agutter believes she sees the Christ figure in church weeping blood: by the time we acknowledge it, its gone, but the seed has already been planted. Rarely in a genre production has the use of colour and background been so important or effective in creating a uniformity of mood. I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for, and exactly the kind of film people should be making now- which is, of course, exactly why they never will. A genre essential. by D.R.
女主整片都在跟门搏斗，储藏室的门、卧室的门、车门、大门😂
疫情下的剧组，出发点是好的，但影片的内容。。。
我家健身教练御姐性爱机器Daisy可以啊😌
疫情下的电影剧组，贴合当下背景，属于这个时代的娱乐电影
不可思议，Maroon 5主场Adam竟然还给这部剧作了首结尾曲啊。
哎，一言难尽...我为啥要看？(||๐_๐)
普通的类型片，让人着急的地方有点多，不过我记得水果坏了一点就都不能吃了啊🌚祖传黑心果酱
想看这部电影的幕后纪录片改编的电影。最棒的一句台词，It feels like America, but it's in England.
女主的演技太尴尬了吧…最后那么多钱也不要也有点生硬了，毕竟有钱才能住上房，才能给子女创造养育条件啊！
绿谷已经蜘蛛侠化了嘛？现在听他絮叨就觉得烦……作画还是很舒适，骨头社的打戏就是舒适，其他的就那样吧。绿谷和爆豪可以用语音包走完全场的，来回来去就那几句话，彻底的没性格角色。
7分。还蛮有意思的，一部吐槽拍电影的电影，各种恶搞加上疫情，颇有那种《办公室》的味道在。一群看似大牌其实过气的演员混在一起，结果是依然过气，哈哈~~最喜欢就是那些绿幕的内容，装恐龙的两位好可怜~~~~
没预告片精彩！平平无奇吧，没多大意思。充其量一部枯燥的喜剧片。当初也是冲着snl几位卡司来看的，然后为了对snl的几位卡司表示支持，我给四星。
Rainey Qualley 还挺漂亮的……
虽然质量一般。但同样是网大，这么一个网大的cg效果都要比国内制作最好的网大感觉还要好一些🥲国内的电影工业到底在干嘛。
作为反映时下疫情的应季片子，真的被居家隔离了看还挺有趣的，很多评论都说和《不要抬头》一样，但是我觉得比不要抬头还差很多。
爆抱^q^
烂片中拍烂片，实际上也是烂片，荒诞但又能理解的傻X剧情，疫情下的演员在剧组“保护”下拍电影的闹剧。这新冠什么时候才能结束呢？很悲哀但又无解的问题。玩梗和各种咖客串挺多的，但没戳中我的笑点。唯有Run让我的“搁这搁这”之心燃了一下。
毁就毁在太长了，有些笑点太badbad了，但是想法很好，有些情节看起来夸张，实际还真能发生在身边，就很魔幻。
浪费了我126分钟的时间，真的很无聊的电影
涉不涉及灵异？开场的一些镜头很误导人。空间小，人物少，张力拉满。女主戒毒，打算卖了母亲留下的房子，带两个娃去其他州讨生活。娃爸是毒虫，交的朋友是恋童癖。怎么说呢，整个故事就是当妈太难了，女儿四岁左右，儿子一岁不到，光是跟女儿好好说话就累得不行。结局蛮好，女主不搬家了，找到了母亲留下的苹果黄油制作秘籍：苹果变色了没关系，去掉坏的部分就行，这种苹果做出来的苹果黄油最好
