Let me be the first to admit, I love popcorn horror movies and this is definitely one of them. When I say popcorn horror, I mean the template horror movie where a group of teens or young adults die by some curse, monster or any other antagoniser, ghostly or otherwise and in Countdown (2019) tech now is the tool to kill the young ones by means of an app on your phone created by a demon and using a curse so basically.. download the app and it will tell you how long you have to live via a countdown clock then sit back and watch everyone you know start dying.
The app idea is about the only original thing about this movie but like any good popcorn horror you have to see how they stop this curse, what made it and how they defeat it and in that aspect, it delivers.
The movie is definitely entertaining for anyone who feels like getting a few scares and having some fun with it. Not for the true horror fan but still very enjoyasble as you try and guess when the next scare is coming.
The movie is directed by first-timer Justin Dec and it really isn't bad for his first attempt, we look forward to seeing how his career will progress after this. The likelihood of a sequel is extremely great and I base this on the box-office takings alone i.e. the movie was bade on a budget of $6.5 million and made more than $40,921,766.
By the way, look out for the awesome performance of the guy at the cellphone shop, he steals the scenes he appears in with his humoour.
