I liked it more than I thought I would. Countdown is a movie riding on the tattered coattails of Final Destination. The girl from Netflix's You stars as a nurse who downloads an app that predicts your date of death. As soon as you deviate from your set path, a spooky spooker comes after you.

I appreciated the movie actually creating scary CGI stuff. The [spoiler]kid's feet breaking backwards was quote a scary one, as well as the demonic forms of previous victims and deceased individuals showing up was good.[/spoiler] I did find myself a bit disappointed that the people weren't terrorised as much as they could have been and the jump scares were the same predictable ones happening in silence/with no background music.

I liked the protagonist and some of the supporting characters. The creepy doctor I think probably wasn't a good cast, it's the dad from twilight coming to play another doctor. He looks really short and like his neck is bulky and weird. The priest was fun but more of a wet dream than anyone real. I have been on a bit of a demonic kick recently so I'm glad to see also religious characters who don't believe in demons.


The music was pretty cool throughout the movie also.


One weird thing is [spoiler]I thought the black guy was names Matt. When they find his name on the computer I thought it said Derek King...and the black guy says hey that's my name? Maybe I was misreading it.[/spoiler]
