Happy New Year, be good, or be gone!

omgggg where do i start. this went everywhere but where i thought it would. i thought Jesus would be a chill dude taking them on adventures before or to stop the apocalypse in New Year or some shit😭 but turns out he was THEIR apocalypse. i came across this movie around seven years ago with one of my all time favorite YouTube channels recommending it (i think the original video is for members now but they remade one later for all audiences). since back then i dragged myself all over the internet trying to find it, and when i saw Umbrella releasing it in Blu-Ray for their Thai Horror collection it felt…

No better day than today to watch Countdown. Never in a million years would I have imagined that the director of breezy exam caper Bad Genius also made this darkly comic, increasingly vicious New-Year’s-Eve-from-hell thriller. A bunch of freewheeling Thai New Yorkers find themselves at the sadistic mercy of a deranged drug dealer; strong performances all around and unpredictable claustrophobic suspense abounds as David Asavanond takes his manic, fanatical, bedlam-loving “Jesus” to scary bonkers heights. Didn’t care for the ending but the rest is a steadily escalating night of stoned antics, psycho sermons, nailgun brutality, and apartment-bound terror.

Filme besta, irritante, a risada forçada deles me deu dor de cabeça, odiei com todas as forças esse vilao caricato e o final consegue ser mais ridiculo que os minutos anteriores.

do you know what death row prisoners do before execution?

wow so im kind of ecstatic atm.

i did not intend to watch a horror film tonight.

let alone one that would shake me to the core like this, not only reminding me of why i love the horror genre to begin with, but further expanding on my whole understanding of it.

basically, i'm yet to get into asian horror, but i think this film just prepped me for what awaits me there. horror made in cultures where fear of the other is engrained in the social fabric, the culture.

this new york set thai film starts as a stoner comedy of sorts, which gave me pause, tho delayed, since…

awal film emg gajelas bikin bosen juga, trs serunya pas bagian sosok "jesus" tiba-tiba ikut ke pesta tahun baruan sambil bawa ganja. pas semua udah teler baru tuh dia melakukan aksi biar pada ngelakuin dosa²nya. dasar anak muda dikasih paham dulu baru sadar🙏🏻

Stoners in the dark. They were looking for a cheap piece of mind for their interior parties in this Western land leading to no tomorrow. The glory of the man signals red and claustrophobia all around. His arrival threatens their vices. Bow down to him for he is not your savior.

Review by kasarin ★★★★

This plays like a moral fable wrapped in a coke-fueled home invasion. Three Thai teens pretending to be New Yorkers until the night blows up in their faces. What impressed me is how it shifts between tones without losing its grip… part nasty little thriller, part comedy of humiliation, part karmic hammer hanging over everyone’s head. It shouldn’t work, but it does because every beat feels like some awful coming-of-age memory someone never admitted to.
The dealer Jesus almost feels too big for the movie at first, but as the night spirals his whole presence starts to click. He’s the reckoning. The world telling these kids to quit coasting on lies and borrowed swagger.
It’s tight, mean in the right…

Okeish but utterly bland thriller from the thai director of Bad Genious. Its not that bad but probably i wasnt in the mood for that.

Three roommates from Thailand, living in New York, call up a guy named Jesus to sell them weed on New Year’s Eve. Jesus shows up and at first seems to be just an annoying drug dealer, but grows increasingly unhinged. Eventually, he’s torturing them and forcing them to make confessions, which he seems to already have a mysterious knowledge of because he may be the real Jesus. The ending is a bit of a letdown, but it’s an intriguing, fun thriller where you’re never sure exactly what it’s up to.

I would not let a guy name Jesus with a bad blaccent into my apartment no matter how much weed he says he has.

Single location, home invasion Thai horror/thriller. Cool concept with some really good performances including from Jesus himself. Not many interesting New Years Eve horror films out there, but this is one of them.
