Most coming of age films are either funny or serious. Well, how about creepy? I Start Counting will have you on the edge of your seat. A 14 year old named Wynne(Jenny Agutter) has a serious crush going on. The object of her affection is her step-brother. She goes to the garbage can and finds a sweater that she made for him wrapped up in paper. Earlier, she found scratches on his back. When she opened it up, she's shocked to see blood on it. Worse, there is a killer on the loose. And he's targeting young women. She and her friend Corrine, stay together. Wynne, always spies on him. She would later find out that he is seeing a very suicidal woman. And her friend who is promiscuous, would do anything to make her friend jealous. To the very end.
It's a very good film. Plenty of suspense and wonder. It's not your usual coming of age film.
4 out of 5 stars.
