Critics Consensus

Countdown may offer a few fleeting jolts for horror fans with barren queues, but it lacks enough wit or creativity to leave a lasting impression.

The constant loud noises and jump scares of Countdown are only enjoyable for truly novice horror watchers.

We've seen these jump scares, and we've traveled this road many times before. It's competently made and isn't the worst way to spend an hour and a half, but it's also pretty forgettable.

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!
