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.
不愧死亡之血的导演，非常有趣的血腥电影，节奏再压缩到一个半小时就完美了。好久没有这种恶搞有趣的血腥片了
血浆爽片，而且还蛮搞笑的，这俩夫妻也是真的抗揍
作为玛吉的导演处女作，视听是真的不错。加上改编自费兰特的原著，总体品质确实相当可以。但几处实在太过刻意，反而令人略微反感，而且直接在电影里谈论文学性真的挺做作的。结尾有些莫名，看不懂。相比《女人的碎片》又是另一种维度的无解。有没有孩子似乎女人都是碎片，要拾起完整的自我必须舍弃太多的东西。追求自我实现（和享受人生）和家庭责任之间有着不可调和的矛盾。当然这些也并无新意，势必是要不断重复的母题。孩子们都是魔鬼吧。
有剧透#还不错但不到期望值。我本来想着双方都多次用自己部署好的道具或者工具尝试杀死对方 可不成功 但也没被发现。然后这3个犯人才出现 两夫妻就用自己想杀对方的方法来反抗这3个人 像小鬼当家那样就挺好。然而现在只在三个犯人身上做文章 却简略了夫妻之间的“杀” 我更想的是杀着杀着双方重拾温暖那种 也可能仅仅是不对我口味罢了。老爷子的出现是个神来之笔 对啥都充满戾气 “这该死的科技“”哈哈哈PS 感觉这个电影将来会被很多国家翻拍
小鬼当家夫妻档成人血腥版，因为真的是蠢犯。
充分說明面對婚姻中年危機不用非去探討出點什麼，巧合劇本也不用太邏輯嚴密，快速入題大量血腥爽快的打鬥戲不拖沓不墨跡，就可以讓人一直看下來。三星半有的
反杀拯救婚姻，老爷子若隐若现的肠子提醒我了，死亡之雪3啥时候出啊。。
三星半。一顿血浆屎尿屁之后，还是患难见真情啊。
前排提醒，看简介也看不出来的，除了最后5分钟，这不是喜剧😂，如果喜欢昆汀和北野武，那就可看！
看了一半，感觉有点为了无厘头而无厘头，无厘头的莫名其妙。剧情一般，有时间看完再细评
前三分之二和后十分之一都没问题，后面三分之一导演是怎么了？是对血腥镜头欲罢不能吗？是觉得血浆买多了不用浪费吗？还是既然到湖边了那我们不能浪费外景钱？前面还很推荐，演到这里只想快进，没见过这样一心逃跑，不会反杀的主角

又好笑又血腥，作为演员的女主在记者前献出了自己人生最好演技。。。
《死亡之雪》系列导演的新作，接连翻转非常秀，后面就有点撑不住了。

对白太多，但尚有对白的夫妇还是可以过下去的，杀人潜力是意外之喜。

中规中矩吧，不太有爽到。整体还是挺风格化的，把死亡之雪、猎杀星期一那股血腥暴力感延续下去，红脸蛋，口吐血沫，整体的喜剧效果较前两部更佳。开场无聊的婚姻乏味，到互杀的快感，两人互相绑住后的互喷与吵架，再到小将的加入和stop it的被误杀。再到三人悍匪的加入，整个黑色幽默感十足，螳螂捕蝉黄雀在后的多线加入挺有意思。Gay气的Dave Big Dick，治腿伤那段笑抽了。被爆菊和随地shit的小哥。中间地下室那段拍的很猛烈，很考验演员的演技，两人紧张的抽搐和悍匪无情的蹂躏感全都拍出来了。最后部分就是互抽的血腥动作片，两个主角被暴揍性能拉满，老爸果然是战争民族的风格，吐槽新能源车那段也是精准毒舌到位。最后也以一个戏谑再拍电影的方式黑色收尾。许多细节上的搞笑，秃头与暴力女。流血的婚姻，拙劣的生活演技。
哈哈哈哈哈哈，真是个悲伤的happyending，辣是真的牛批，痛快，一通乱杀了属于是，维京佬的笑点果然还是符合大众审美
老爷子真的加分。
