Poorly executed
I remember seeing the trailer for this and being intrigued, yet didn't get chance to watch it at the cinema. Which is a shame as it might have been better on the big screen.
The plot and idea behind this is a good one. An app that tells you when you die thats actually true? With today's technology reliant society, this is a wonderful idea for a film as it can resonate with most people. The problem is that it has been very poorly executed. I didn't find it particularly scary or horrifying, and the number of deaths in this are surprisingly lacking. They've also tried to give this a proper back story and explanation when really it wasn't necessary. If they had made it a lot creepier and a lot less explainable, this could've actually been a decent film as the acting of a couple of leads was quite good. And i loved the IT guy who definitely brought a few laughs.
Overall not terrible, but not particularly scary for a horror which was a shame.

Surprise Halloween treat
This looked OK from the trailer so gave it a go without expecting much. It was better than expected with a good mix of scares, creepiness and some funny moments. It had a feeling similar to @Final Destination (2000) and @Lights Out (2016) as people using a death predictor app try to cheat their fate. Well worth checking out this Halloween.
Not too bad!
Pretty decent film, starts out not slow but a bit budget but soon picked up!
Standard horror film where a nurse downloads an app and finds out she doesn't have long to live, her her sister and a new friend all try to help eachother figure a way out and to survive the sister realises the one way to stop it all but it's still a fight to race against time. All with dealing with past and present issues, overall good film worth the watch!

Meh
I was hesitant to watch this because I thought it looked like another cheesy horror movie. It was, but not too terrible. The acting was mediocre, the film work and effects were run of the mill horror movie stuff. The story was just ok and a little predictable. If you're bored and looking for a few creepy moments and a couple jump scares, this is worth a watch.
