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.
挺好的，故事完整，失忆女主去村子寻找失踪的弟弟，调查水猴子事情的真相，最后当然是有坏人故弄玄虚遭到报应。恐怖悬疑气氛营造得挺好，而且节奏快不拖沓，是会专心致志看的那种电影。故事情节因果关系没有明显硬伤，最后水猴子撑起石门有点迷，他又不是大力士，可能是不死说不过去吧，毕竟是鲨了人，虽然值得同情也不得不给个温情结尾后写死s了。演技也都在线不会出戏，大女主撑起来了，不尖叫不一惊一乍的，是沉稳机智干脆利落的人设。上次是看黄皮子坟觉着国产悬疑片也是有好看的，五星鼓励下
算是不错的国产恐怖片……起码有不错的精神内核&较为完整的故事！
在电影院看的时候打斗情节还是相当震撼的，不过就剧情缓解薄弱也是没办法的
相对于第一部可能比较深刻了，挖掘人性的阴暗面，气氛营造的也可以，就是娱乐性稍差一点点。。。而且跟第一部对比了一下像是又重新讲了一个故事。。。里面的女生的低声吟唱好像在哪个电影里听到过！
這系列真差，祇有打架，沒劇情，主角打不死，最後一口氣爆發，反派弱。純粹給學校裡的男生看的
简单的不能再简单剧情+鬼哭狼嚎的嘴炮对白，靠着华丽的战斗画面，硬凑出来的热血漫，垃圾，，
其实抛开”建国后不许成精“的强行解释不谈，这部电影在剧情设计上是很有看头的，汇集了恐怖、侦探、悬疑的诸多元素，村长作为最终BOSS的跳反也算是既有反转又能自圆其说，但问题在于这电影的剪辑师恐怕是抖音上找的剪辑兼职的学员，整个剧情被剪得稀碎，很多剧情片段的衔接虽然不能说是很突兀，但就是让人频繁跳戏，观感极差！
别硬洗，哪里的资源，几块钱一条？这么垃圾的电影一个个吹好看？就这就这？
4.9分
反派以彼之道还施彼身的能力还是刚不过至刚至猛的绿谷降龙十八掌。
挺好看的，剧情也好，拍的也好，已经算是近期国内恐怖片很好的电影了
为什么会被这标题吸引来看这个片子啊？乱七八糟的缝合怪：异形？恐怖？侦查？想要说太多反而没一个说得清楚。一个遗传病居然比基因改造都牛逼了，速度反应力量潜水莫名其妙的。孩子鸦片太监奸商硬塞进一起，搭配神经质的村民和巫婆表演，简直了……
啊这 看快进了 有一种 盲目交作业的感觉
封建迷信的统治真可怕。女主的长相很有味道，泥里的打戏也挺好看的。被困住的这一家太惨了，唉。出生和命运真的好有关系。
害挺克，而且我竟然看哭了，而且女主角太好看了
这破电影居然还能拍续集？拍个水猴子张张嘴，藏狐又要辟谣跑断腿😓
这部剧场版的打斗特效制作经费恐怕相当于一整季的制作经费吧，打斗特效牛了个逼了！简直爽到爆炸燃到炸裂！BGM也全程在线！
还可以！女主不错。水怪（清河）死了还挺伤感！
最后战斗安排上感觉几轮下来没有太大翻上去。。略可惜。。但冲击力还是UPUP
就是火爆猴和镰刀那段打戏太长太拖拉了感觉（镰刀人真的开了挂吧，打完一次就开挂一次，比绿麻子还开得狠）
