The movie is about a series of events that follow after a nurse downloads a buzzy app that’s meant to predict your exact time of death, it warns her that she only has three days to live. So when people around her start being picked off one-by-one, she takes matters into her own hands to figure out how to stop it.
Countdown is a film in the horror genre. It also takes a smartphone sub-genre that features the likes of simulation movies, such as Unfriended, where technology is the enemy. The movie persuades people to ensure to double check the small-print next time you visit an app store.
The film successfully rises tension, creates actual scares and comedic timing. The movie has nondiagetic sound, (sound the audio hear watching but the characters don't hear), which helps to create suspense and excitement. To bring the movie to an end there is a final twist, which hints there is to be a sequel to the movie.
