There are apps for every and any possible function or desire in the 21st century, but would you draw the line at downloading an app that can predict your time of death?
When young nurse Quinn Harris (Elizabeth Lail, You) downloads an app that supposedly tells you when you are going to die, she is shocked to learn she has only three hours left to live.
While investigating the other victims of the app and banding together with others also looking to survive their app-ordained deaths, Quinn races to escape her fate and the demonic force looking to collect her life.
Countdown is a fitting contemporary horror flick that plants a well-deserved seed of anxiety and neuroses about our reliance on technology and its insidious applications. It is a great straight up horror pick from the selection of horror-esque films currently playing in theatres, including The Lighthouse, Zombieland: Double Tap and The Addams Family to watch this Halloween.
Countdown is in theatres now.
