[Countdown] ended up being a major letdown.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jan 22, 2023

COUNTDOWN is a bland techno-horror that relies too heavily on ineffective scares to get a rise out of the viewer. Boring and forgetful.

If nothing else at least it instills one piece of life-changing wisdom to smartphone owners everywhere – ALWAYS read the user agreement!

Spoiler alert: This movie is garbage.

You could get drunk and laugh at it.

Countdown is pretty damn fun and does an excellent job of tapping into technology driven terrors for the modern age that completely surprised me and left me thoroughly entertained to boot.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 4, 2020

A cinematic salad with too many ingredients that never mix well with each other. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 1, 2020

The film is lukewarm in its handling of the subject and leads the protagonist to the same meanness that she intends to fight. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 31, 2020

...this is a middling 2019 horror entry that isn't as bad critics made it out to be, but it's exceedingly forgettable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 21, 2020

It's very entertaining thanks to the suspense and comedy, even though it doesn't achieve a true horror atmosphere. [Full Review in Spanish]

Countdown has jump scares galore, but that doesn't mean it's good.

While Elizabeth Lail carried the film well enough and there were some good scares sprinkled throughout, it was not enough to hide this fact. While I wouldn't recommend seeing it in cinema, it would be a decent Halloween movie to rent later in the year.

Think 'Final Destination' plus 'Flatliners' but minus all of the fun.

| Nov 14, 2019

Its influences are obvious, but that hardly matters, when the film deftly delivers the scares.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 13, 2019

...a prototypically uneven teen-friendly horror flick.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 13, 2019

Nothing really makes sense, even by the movie's own crazed rules with the uninspired ending adding further resignation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 11, 2019

"Countdown" is just above the usual "rent-em-and-forget-em" horror fare out there.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 10, 2019

Yet another example of a high-concept idea that doesn't deliver enough of the goods. (Full Content Review for Parents - Violence, Profanity, etc. - also Available)

Countdown is not aggressively terrible, but it's life-threateningly dull. A lot of moments don't make sense, and the writing is both amateurish and too self-serious to be clever or entertaining.

| Nov 6, 2019

Crudely uninteresting, the kind of horror film that demonstrates nothing but contempt for horror fans.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Nov 5, 2019
