l START COUNTING (Blu-ray)
ln a rapidly modernising English town, a psychopathic murderer is on the Ioose terrorising the young women of the Iocal community. Fourteen year old Wynne (Jenny Agutter) begins to suspect that George (Bryan MarshaII), her adoptive stepbrother who she's infatuated with, is the perpetrator. But could he reaIIy be responsible for such horrific crimes?
Presented in a new 2K restoration, David Greene's much sought-after British thriIler is a gripping, cuIt cIassic of late-1960s cinema and the latest addition to the BFI FIipside collection.
Featuring a stand-out performance from Agutter and contributions from cuIt icons writer Richard Harris (The Avengers), production designer Brian EatweIl (WaIkabout) and composer Basil Kirchin (Primitive London), l Start Counting is a haunting coming-of-age taIe like no other.
