This is a riot from start to finish and shouldn't be missed. Yes it is low budget and it is obvious that the ambition of the film makers is sometimes sacrificed, but if you take this into account then you can really appreciate the qualities this feature has to offer. It is hilarious with some good performances, particularly from the leads. There is a proud history of off kilter horror gems from the land down under and IKHMRYSLS continues this trend and deserves to be considered in the same league as Bad Taste or Black Sheep. The film makers, Doug Turner and Stacy Edmonds show real promise in their debut and I hope they make another film soon. Maybe a sequel but I suspect their interest would be in another story judging by the conclusion.

I really enjoyed this movie. Yes, it's low budget. Yes, the shower scene is gratuitous, & totally unconnected to the theme. Yes, the acting leaves a little to be desired. But it was a really enjoyable 75 minutes. If you are looking for low budget horror flicks, this is up there with the best, with a fantastic shower scene, just to put it in the great useless nudity, great horror category. The members of a cricket team meet grisly ends, & the actual ending is unexpected. The DVD has some extras, which are really worth the price too.I give it a 7. Not a Hollywood production, but I'll look out for the director in future should they do something else.

Short synopsis of "I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer" goes like that:a cricket team are dismissed by a mustachioed serial killer with a razor sharp cricket glove and an arsenal of sharpened stumps.One by one the killer exacts revenge for the torment he endured 20 years earlier.I never had a chance to play cricket,but I must say that I sort of enjoyed trashy satirical slasher "I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer".The killer has lovely murder kit including balls and stumps,the killings are gory and the behavior of victims/former bullies of our cricket player is stunningly idiotic.The acting is awful and the shower scene is extremely gratuitous with the use of body double.6 crickets out of 10.Cricket-oriented slasher?Why not?

Firstly, what a weekend. Freakshow programmers did themselves proud - Alien Raiders, Battle of the Bone, Vlog, Shadowland and I Know How Many Runs etc. A real diverse bunch of movies."I Know How Many..." is a micro-budget movie from Australia, made from start to finish it seems by 2 folks; Doug Turner and Stacey Edmonds. Kudos to them for getting this film over the line and finished to such a high standard."An evil, imposing cricketer returns 20 years after being bullied to kill his ex-teammates" - can't really go wrong with that premise! Although I admit the cricket theme went over my head, the film stuck to the slasher norms. Was more horror than comedy - the splashy gore was fun, and the nudity mandatory. The comedy was more of a giggle/chuckle rather than laugh-out-loud - I would have preferred a more "Shaun of the Dead" style comedy, but hey, you can't have everything.For a low budget film, it looked and sounded great - as an aspiring filmmaker, I'm hoping they do a similar making-of as the "Broken" short film (google "What is Broken?").As definite must-see for fans of slasher movies, horror/comedies and aspiring filmmakers! Here's hoping they get distribution in the US - I can't get enough of this Ozzie horror.
