Drop

Damn, this movie is wonderful, really a great suspense, holding you from beginning to end, and surprising with the outcome, super worth it

I thought Drop was an incredibly corny and unrealistic movie, which is surprising and different for a movie made by Blumhouse, but I also thought it was highly entertaining

'Drop' is a great thriller! I was hooked for every minute. It gave me vibes of 2024's 'Carry-On', which is a film I also enjoyed. This one - albeit certainly different - has similarities, but it is much more atmospheric. It left me on fair tenterhooks, that's for sure.

The performances are excellent, particularly from leads Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar. In the midst of the drama, there is actually a pretty solid romance in there featuring those two; they share terrific chemistry, despite also giving the necessary edge of first date awkwardness.

I enjoyed how the film portrayed the messaging, each one is shown onscreen in a clear but not in an in-your-face or an eyesore-y manner; the font/effects fitted with the ambience that the film was setting up. It takes a basic plot device and impressively creates a mountain of thrill.

I had a blast with this movie and the wait wasn't a disappointment. Meghann Fahy was amazing in this and I hope she gets more movies. She was my favourite in 'The Bold Type'. A quick and fun movie with some amazing one liners.

Good flick.
Do yourself a favor and watch this movie

A fun, entertaining, suspenseful thriller with clever dialogue.Solid lead performances and both of the main characters are interesting.

It's a good movie. Despite its technological inaccuracies, it maintains suspense until the very end. If you're a software developer or work in tech, try not to overthink the technical details—just take them at face value, and you'll enjoy a solid thriller.

Brandon Sklenar, known from the Yellowstone franchise, plays a supporting role alongside Meghann Fahy. I hadn't noticed Fahy in anything before this, but she did well overall. That said, a few scenes showed some inexperience—I blame the director for that. The restaurant scene with the big reveal, though, was excellent—a truly satisfying plot twist.

Very good thriller !!! an old-fashioned Hitchcock type of way

The thriller “Drop,” directed by Christopher Landon, is a film that really gets the value of tight storytelling paired with solid entertainment. Even though it’s set in a single location and relies on a small cast, it shows impressive control over its own goals: to be an intense, fast-paced, and engaging ride. Landon—best known for his horror comedies like “Happy Death Day” and “Freaky”—takes a break from the irreverent tone here, going for something more serious and stripped-down, but without losing his knack for pacing and suspense. “Drop” doesn’t try to reinvent the genre—and that self-awareness is actually what makes it so effective.

The script kicks off with a seemingly simple premise but quickly reveals deeper emotional layers and some sharp social commentary. Violet, played with a quietly intense presence by Meghann Fahy, is a woman still haunted by a past of domestic abuse. As she tries to take back control of her life, she finds herself trapped—both emotionally and physically—during what should’ve been a regular dinner at a high-end restaurant. The whole plot revolves around a series of mysterious messages she gets through an app called “DigiDrop,” which turns this fancy restaurant into a minefield, where every choice could put her son and her sister in danger.

What makes the film really work is that it never loses sight of the fact that this is Violet’s story. In a genre that traditionally hands the heroic spotlight to male characters, it’s refreshing to follow a plot where the female lead isn’t just a victim, but the one actively fighting to survive. The script smartly avoids obvious clichés like the knight-in-shining-armor trope—even though Brandon Sklenar, as Henry, brings charm and credibility to the screen, his character is rightly kept in a supporting role, never stealing the emotional focus from Violet.

Fahy is, without a doubt, the heart of “Drop.” Her performance is raw and vulnerable without ever slipping into melodrama. We’re completely in her corner—not just rooting for her to make it out alive, but feeling the nerve-wracking tension in real time. She’s got this level of expressiveness where even her silences carry emotional weight. Landon clearly understands that and builds the entire mise-en-scène around her, letting the camera breathe when needed and letting the sense of claustrophobia build naturally as the threats close in.

On a technical level, the film is really well put together. The editing is sharp and keeps the action clear, even in the tight, busy space of the restaurant. The score is used sparingly but effectively, avoiding obvious emotional cues and instead helping to maintain a steady sense of rising tension right up to the climax. Visually, the cinematography is solid—not flashy or groundbreaking—but it serves the story, reinforcing the mood of paranoia and unease.

Sure, if you start pulling at the plot threads too much, a few things come loose. The villain’s master plan, revealed toward the end, doesn’t hold up too well under logical scrutiny. The motivations feel a bit forced, and the ending, while technically sound for a thriller, doesn’t quite deliver the emotional payoff that the buildup promised. But honestly, the film’s structural weak spots are kind of forgivable because the overall experience is so immersive. “Drop” isn’t a movie made for intellectual dissection—it’s a thriller that hits hard in the moment. And that’s where its real power lies.

All in all, “Drop” delivers exactly what it sets out to: a tight, tension-filled story centered on a strong, fully-realized protagonist, powered by an honest performance and confident direction. It doesn’t shake up the genre, and it doesn’t need to. By leaning on empathy and urgency rather than crazy plot twists, it brings a welcome freshness to the table. In a time when thrillers are getting bloated and overly ambitious, the lean, sharp simplicity of “Drop” is a breath of fresh air.
