Was invited to a movie preview yesterday by OMY to watch a Thai horror movie called Countdown.
In this Thai thriller set in New York City, three rich kids want to throw a New Year's Eve party in their apartment. They call up a drug dealer, an American guy called Jesus. When Jesus arrives the countdown bash turns into a psychological game that involves violence and torture.

They are counting down without knowing for sure that their new day is going to be waiting for them….
“In my 1st feature film I explore how people try to fulfill their desires every New Year’s by making wishes. All of us have some kind of New Year’s resolution that they hope they will be able to fulfill so that they can become a better person. But you know what they say, "be careful what you wish for?”
- Nattawut Poonpiriya (Bas)
A rich kid who lies to his parents that he has been studying in NYU but actually has been spending all the money just for fun.
Pattarasaya Kruesuwansiri (Peak) as “Pam”
A sexy outgoing room mate who buys all the material things just to get attention from others.

“Welcome to the night of your life!”
The 3 friends want to have a New Year Eve party to remember, so Jack calls Jesus(drug dealer) to drop off some stuff to their apartment so they can celebrate the end of the year in style. They actually don’t know Jesus that well and don’t really know his background. However, his visit that night will change their lives forever.
