Picture this: first dates can be awkward, but in this gripping action thriller directed by Christopher Landon (the brain behind Happy Death Day), they take a deadly twist. Violet (Meghann Fahy, known from The White Lotus) is a widowed mother bravely stepping back into the dating world with a charming photographer named Henry. But just as their chemistry heats up, Violet's phone buzzes with ominous drops showing a masked intruder in her home, demanding she follow a series of chilling instructions. With her loved ones at risk, Violet faces an unthinkable ultimatum: to survive, she must kill Henry.
This heart-pounding film features an impressive cast, including Brandon Sklenar (“1923,” It Ends With Us), Violett Beane (“The Flash,” Truth or Dare), and Jeffery Self (“Search Party,” Spoiler Alert).

Having watched DROP last night, I found myself puzzled by its mixed reviews from both critics and audiences—it managed a modest $26.6 million against an $11 million budget, so I wouldn’t call it a blockbuster. While the movie is far from a disaster, I enjoyed certain parts of it.
Director Christopher Landon clearly aimed for a Hitchcockian vibe with a modern twist, though he stumbles due to a script that lacks depth and resonance, courtesy of Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach. The premise is intriguing, yet the film struggles with characters who often make bewildering decisions—ultimately a script issue.
The cast shines, making the most of their roles, and it’s evident that Landon pulled stellar performances from them. If only a sharper script had been in play! However, the film does have standout moments, particularly through a few intense sequences, which owe much to cinematographer Mark Spicer's work and Bear McCreary's thrilling score.
In the grand scheme, DROP feels like a modern, albeit low-key, Hitchcock-inspired flick. It doesn't exactly rip off the master but instead offers a diluted thriller that takes its time to escalate. Once it does, it shifts into a captivating experience. It’s not a masterpiece, but trust me, I’ve seen far worse!
