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.
6/10，这部电影是2014年僵尸来袭的续集，看到分数就觉得要凉了，看到一半更加坐实烂尾的味道。不过看在动作和脑洞还是秉承着第一部的影子，给个三星吧，说是脑洞，实际上也是吃这几年SyFy美剧的僵尸国度墨菲控制僵尸老套路，编剧玩的都是别人剩下的，确实审美疲劳了，第一部的兄妹女主在这一部集体打酱油，剧情也确实没什么存在感，也没有第一部好玩。
难得近年推出的丧尸电影，设定很NB，不过剧情一般般
岳父大人在筹办女儿婚礼的过程中也逐渐修复了自己的婚姻。这是个好岳父也是个好父亲，还是个不断改变自己来补救老去的婚姻的好男人。演岳父的安迪加西亚演技确实了得！两个女儿的演员颜值很高。
不愧是b级片，第一部结尾那么放飞自我第二部还能圆回来xD一柜多用太cult了
还剩一点脑洞，不过已经不够用了，毕竟把戏不可久玩。
3.5 四星不足但三星有余，期待导演今后更好的作品。
第一次反转能接受的，反正我也猜到了，第二次反转也太勉强了，还不如把大老板带进坑。比起最近几年好莱坞虚伪得要死的画风，这个电影还是能看看的。
剧情倒没觉得怎么样，就是觉得其他人都是爸爸的陪衬的感觉。那个女婿，太不打眼了
僵尸口臭能做燃料，混血僵尸能操控僵尸。东拼西凑的作品
第一部看的时间长了，只有些模模糊糊的印象了，不过续集太有趣味性了，血肉横飞，还有喜剧元素，很爽快
喜剧，现代童话故事。欢笑中带着一丝温情。片中迈阿密的风光真不错。最后老奶奶高歌一曲的时候，真的还是蛮感动人的。给4星有点高了，7分还是应该有的，就凭观后带来的欢乐喜悦心情。
时隔多年居然出了第二部，还是挺好看的，想象力丰富，血浆管够，就是主角方光环太强了，太破坏平衡性了。不知为什么，总觉得男主很像斯巴达克斯第一季那个已故男主。
个人觉得最差的设定是，拥有控制僵尸的能力太随意了，失去了唯一性，便也失去了最大看点，而且结尾还强行复活了第一部的女一，照这发展下去就成“X战警”了。😓男主发福不少
比上周派恩那个承包商强多了，技法不错，氛围压的好，船戏那我就想起来老斯的慕尼黑
不如第一部，尤其这配乐太闹着玩儿了，80年代港片感觉
电影氛围很不错，包裹在谍战里的爱情悲剧，只是情节太经不起推敲了，4🌟给的是电影色彩、场景和男女主角！
纯丧尸世界里的特工片！
制作的挺完整，用僵尸当新能源也挺有创意，中规中矩
这是我看过最可怜憋屈的丧尸了🧟♂️丧尸：你高清你拿我当炮灰😂
硬核血浆暴干，可惜剧情撑不起来过于干瘪，配乐竟然用了red right hand
