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.
情节真的乏善可陈，大家好像都只是为了期待最后那一分钟彩蛋后可能发生的事来看的这部电影。
反派来的太敷衍了，说变就变。
毒液很可爱，不应该叫致命守护者，叫二人的甜蜜约会得了，真的不是秀恩爱么？（bushi，话说屠杀给的设定和留白也太少了，剧情好单薄啊，感觉没啥可的看头，像一本故事只讲结局，能再多点东西的，毒液的设定已经和最初的外星生物邪恶混沌偏离了不少，纯傻白甜女主了有点，只是没那么傻白甜，我很喜欢venom，因为可爱！他和addie很好磕！但这一部确实是不太行，如果有第三部，我真建议sony往比较黑暗一点的角度走一走，感觉会给这个IP的质感提高不少.
动不动就打情骂俏怎么回事？比小俩口还爱闹别扭……其他的副线，真就是随随便便。
剧情不走心，特效没诚意。唯一的惊喜就是二册客串的神父。
大决战有点看懵了，啸叫女没事就瞎叫唤，俩外星泥巴脑穿心透都啥事没有，却被一截断墙压得爬不起来。算了，毕竟场面特效还不错。
彩蛋值得一颗星，说不定真就蜘蛛侠3奇异博士把毒液传过去了
编剧的功力都用来写笑料了吗...但是也并不很好笑啊...
埃迪·布洛克：为什么？你又不怕出事，受了伤你会治好，喝醉了你让我清醒，我想受伤都不行。
【YVR-5th】三星半。片长90。短平快的带有动作戏份的甜甜的同性爱情喜剧
烂得可怕，无法想象这样一个班底竟然拍出了一部网大观感、毫无节奏和层次可言的b级片，对比而言，第一部实在太优秀了。安迪瑟金斯其实不适合这种大片，他应该去拍纯粹的中小成本R级。
【YVR-5th】三星半。片长90。短平快的带有动作戏份的甜甜的同性爱情喜剧
为何一手好牌被打成稀烂……全都是神经病般的动机……动作也差
没想到导演是andy serkis，编剧是汤老师，开始自己瞎玩了是吧
原準備看大開殺戒，卻發現看的是三年夫妻生活不和吵架出走後幹掉叛逆小孩重獲愛情。結果，彩蛋又TM一個聖母小孩出現了。
没有特别差嘛，豆瓣5.0真是过分低了。简单粗暴解压的爆米花片，还有汤老师、伍迪哈里森和米歇尔的卡司加成，还是看得挺开心的，问题不大。如果能上映再去刷下IMAX。12.10
自製反派自己打
今年最期待的电影，非常的好看！ 汤老师的演出依旧风骚，期待和荷兰弟擦出更多火花！..
片尾曲好听，剧情十分弱智，全片吐吐槽打打嘴炮玩玩老梗组组cp，不知道的还以为和沙赞似的，老少皆宜，童叟无欺，毒液完全就是鲨鱼王的智商水平。整部电影感觉就一集美剧的体量，实在有损毒液威名。打斗戏的特效还是不错的，但是因为是pg13，不血腥不暴力，根本不过瘾。啃个人头都是一剪没，寄生兽都R级大片了，这种不拍个像死侍那种的根本对不起毒液那张脸，最后彩蛋料想了一定会和小蜘蛛联动。安迪瑟金斯是个顶级动捕演员却不该去当导演，毕竟术业有专攻。
个人评分5.0/10【D】
