Review of Countdown

Countdown (III) (2019)
6/10
Definitely flawed but not completely awful
24 October 2019
What I liked:
  • interesting, original concept that feels strangely applicable to our modern society. Let's be honest: if we could really download an app like this, most people would.
  • decent acting.
  • surprisingly likeable and intelligent main character, which is kind of refreshing in this genre.
  • not particularly scary to me but probably pretty creepy to someone who scares easily. Which is a good thing.
  • no inconsistencies or plot holes I could find.


What I didn't like:
  • unnecessary romance is unnecessary.
  • the comic relief priest.
  • the weird sexual harassment subplot. I feel like they could've done without.
  • bit predictable at times, clichés throughout.
  • a couple of dumb jump scares.


Overall not a terrible experience. Probably don't care to watch it again but if you're in the mood for a fun horror flick this'll do just fine.
