I Start Counting

Poster of I Start Counting

In the world of the nightmare, a little blood adds colour!

  • The story appears simple on the surface, but is revealed, especially after multiple viewings, as more multilayered and textured. … Admittedly never terrifying, but in equal measures fascinating, worrying, disquieting and enveloping, I Start Counting is as near-perfect an end to a decade as one could hope for—a genre essential.

    D.R. Shimon, The Shrieking Sixties: British Horror Films 1960-1969 (Midnight Marquee Press, 2010)
