What if there was an app that could tell you the exact moment about when you were going to die? If you could find out exactly when you are going to die. Would you want to know?


Plot of the Movie: 
                    Justin Dec's debut thriller imagines a phone app that tells you when you'll die, then gets angry if you try avoiding your fate. When a nurse downloads an app that claims to predict exactly when a person is going to die, it tells her she only has three days to live. With time ticking away and a figure haunting her, she must find a way to save her life before time runs out.


Countdown says about the growing addiction to adding apps to your phone. So when a group of teens finds there’s an app on the store that tells you when you will die, they jump on it and download it. Not everyone receives good news. Seventeen-year-old Courtney (Anne Winters) has only three hours to live from the time she is at the party.

Courtney receives a notification from ‘countdown’, stating she has broken the "user agreement", after avoiding a car with her drunk boyfriend Evan, The app has reached its last second and she is pulled up and thrown down forcefully. At the same time, her boyfriend has hit a car, and a tree branch spikes through the windshield and through the passenger seat where Courtney was supposed to be sitting.

Quinn Harris (Elizabeth Lail) after wrapping up her internship at a local hospital. She is excited to begin her life as a registered nurse and dealing with a patient Evan (Courtney 's boyfriend), who might be better off in a psych ward. Unfortunately, Quinn installed the app on her, While her co-workers are given decades to live, the program tells Quinn she has just days remaining. Initially, Quinn laughs off the idea that she has only three days to live, but when Evan dies exactly when the app said, she gets a little freaked out.

Quinn tries deleting the Countdown app and cancelling plans to travel, but the app knows every move of her, it serves her up an alert and accusing her of breaking the user agreement. But if you break the terms by not going where you’re supposed to go for your death, then a demon comes after you to kill you instead.

Quinn runs into another upcoming Countdown victim Matt Monroe (Jordan Calloway), whose death is also imminent, and these two paired up to break the curse. They combine forces to fight, bringing in a phone store technician and a nerdy demon-obsessed priest to help them figure out what's going on. Meanwhile. Quinn has inadvertently gotten her younger sister Jordan (Talitha Bateman) on the app. As soon as it is established that the app is a legitimate harbinger of doom, the film’s tension dwindles. we know that most of Countdown is merely marking time until Quinn’s death clock reaches its final minutes at the story’s conclusion.

This is a rather unique concept for a horror film, Countdown delivers a little above the minimum you expect from a horror movie. The movie does have some scares, it has a decent amount of horror, comical supporting characters, and the kind of lead you can’t see building a career of this film. The constant loud noises and jump scare of ‘Countdown’ are only enjoyable for truly novice horror watchers. Countdown, a ticking-clock horror/thriller that combines a little bit of comedy with fear and the supernatural.
