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.
两个小姐姐可太好看了！没有灯的世界压抑的甚至像中世纪，女孩们真是令人心疼，特别是那个教授讲课的一幕，那根本就不是人的待遇了。疯人院舞会只不过是给男人一个随便玩的机会罢了……
压抑 令人难堪 无止尽的痛苦 感谢最后的逃脱和救赎
有病没病，先用针治病，这就是那个时代的处理方式
本哈迪帅的来，女主身材爆好，剧情什么的不重要。
“你偷窥别人，别人同时也在偷窥你”，同样是偷窥，相比于希区柯克的后窗，本片采取了更浅显直白的手法，大部分走向包括皮帕的出轨、偷窥与反偷窥都有迹可循，在意料之中，截至托马斯死亡之前本片还算可圈可点，后面就玩脱了，复仇更是画蛇添足，如果眼科医生只是为无意义的铺垫和复仇而设定，那真是太失败了。
鼻祖源于希胖
看了五分钟就猜出来剧情套路了。除了一些美好的人体画面，基本上不值一看
其实是女主又当又立的戏码罢了
纽约高级公寓的大窗户，使得这部电影的质感极佳。纽约那种使人冷静的天气，使得这部电影氛围极佳。
刺激是挺刺激的，但是真的就是为了套路而套路，根本站不住脚，所以最后结局也只能莫名其妙
凝望与被凝望，反噬与被反噬。悉尼太绝了，我感觉到了被征服。
女主身材实在是太正了，女二也没的我都要弯了～整体很有意思。然而这部电影的简介是在放屁吗？
3.5。倾向于是辩证有神论者信仰虔诚与否的宗教片。被“上帝抛弃的人”所带来的见鬼魂设定是向一神论者发出的嘲讽，也是对未被意识形态全权灌输洗脑的教徒的一次信仰试炼。从这个角度来看，护士长的几次主观选择才是戏中表达核心所在。
主角颜值都在线，剧情也不错，还探讨了伴侣关系，人际关系……原来圣母之所以圣母的本质是他们实在不聪明，预测不到未来，只能提出问题但想不到解决的办法，甚至无法设身处地的换位思考，只是想满足自己自以为是的私欲，然后美其名曰为他人好。

可以当作法治宣传片，偷窥害人害己，奇怪的是最后女主角反杀反而让人感觉不爽快了
错误总是由微不足道的事情开头.农夫与驴教会你别贪得无厌.但上层人知道寓言故事只是用来束缚奴隶.好奇心好比du瘾.总能战胜道德观.以为自己是观鸟者.其实自己只是任人摆布的笼中鸟.
可被评为年度最佳惹人讨厌女主，大和病的有机结合体。
大房，大窗，做爱不拉帘；
创意明显借鉴希区柯克的《后窗》，最后10分钟有画蛇添足之嫌～
