Drop

After the tragic death of her abusive husband, a woman decides to overcome her trauma and go on a date with a man with whom she has been talking via a dating app. Once in the restaurant, the woman starts receiving anonymous text messages threatening her son's life. The mysterious entity demands that the widow kill her date in exchange for her family's safety. "Drop" is an effective thriller that explores themes of digital dependency, grief, and paranoia. The storyline works as a rollercoaster that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. It is truly exciting to see the protagonist evolving from a trapped mouse into an unexpected heroine. Exhilarating!

Excellent movie! Kept me on the edge of my seat. The acting was wonderful!!

Well made, really well acted with great chemistry with the leads and solidly written despite having some plot issues. There are some leaps taken and one moment where I knew what was coming, the reveal of how and I just thought "huh? That's not really possible". I did have a great time though and this movie was well paced and knew how to move without relying on big action but it was good when it was there. Overall a solid thriller, one I would recommend but probably not one I would actively seek out to watch again

Fun film that does a good job keeping you guessing, but the real good stuff is at the end. Some over the top moments, but it’s an enjoyable flick

Just as good as Landon’s criminally underrated Paranormal Activity the Marked Ones. But this one is a lot like Non-Stop and Red Eye, just as good

Interesting story, thriller keeps thrilling. Pretty neat.

Meghann Fahy Saves This Movie From Being Boring, She Has Emotional Range And Elevated The Whole Film, It's Not Bad But Kinda Stupid At Times But It's Never Boring To Watch. I Recommend It If You Like Thrillers And Murder Mysteries, It Might Just Entertain You As Much As It Did Me

Brandon Sklenar goes on the worst date imaginable with Meghann Fahy. Director Christopher Landon’s psychological thriller Drop (2025) is mildly amusing and certainly not scary. Landon’s direction tries to make this fancy restaurant interesting visually, but it’s a lot of airdrops on an iphone with few thrills. Meghann Fahy has to mostly carry the emotions of the film as an abuse surviving widow, trying desperately to go on a first date again, when a kidnapper airdrops her to tell her to kill her patient date. It’s an intriguing premise that’s similar to Red Eye, Carry-On, or The Invisible Man. I found it often funny at how ridiculous it gets. Why wouldn’t she just turn off her iphone after the first airdrop since she’s on a date? The constant interruptions became more annoying than thrilling. Writers Jillian Jacobs and Christopher Roach really push the limit of believability here. The guy is practically a saint off the bat since she wants her phone on during the entire date and constantly leaves him sitting there stranded. It’s so odd that he’d be that desperate to go on this endless nightmare date. I figured out the twist pretty early on as even the Red Herrings are obvious. It’s a bit needlessly complicated. For a 95 minute movie, it feels much longer, since not a lot is happening and we’re stuck in one setting. I don’t get why the villain goes flying out the restaurant window when it breaks as if it was a pressurized airplane window or something. There’s some really stupid moments in Drop. Meghann Fahy is compelling as the single widow and heroine Violet Gates. She plays paranoid and nervous well with a nice sincerity to her performance. She’s really doing all the heavy dramatic lifting here as her date keeps getting worse. Brandon Sklenar is very nice, patient, and charming as Violet’s long suffering date Henry Campbell. He’s way too kind to the point of it being absurd. This whole dinner gets really silly. Violett Beane is fun as Violet’s playful sister Jen Gates. Reed Diamond is suspicious as the strange diner Richard like Ravis Nelson’s diner Connor. Gabrielle Ryan’s friendly bartender is great. Jeffery Self is insanely annoying as the incessantly obnoxious waiter Matt. He’s so over the top. Ed Week’s sleazy pianist Phil is funny. Michael Shea is unnerving as Violet’s abusive husband Blake. Composer Bear McCreary’s film score is creepy and intense for some interesting background music. In all, Drop is carried by Meghann Fahy for all its ridiculous twists and turns.

Movie ….was….slow… Best part of the movie was in the trailer. But the salvation was the sister and her son. That made it worthwhile to me, anyway. Otherwise, you will be glancing over your phone on this one.

I didnt expect this movie was so intensed. This is one of the good movies in 2025. Too bad it didnt gain more attention when released. The music reminds me of thriller movies in 90's such as basic instinct or sliver. If you like intensed thriller movies i recommend it.
