First dates are nerve-wracking enough. Going on a first date while an unnamed, unseen troll pings you personal memes that escalate from annoying to homicidal? Blood-chilling.<\/p>\n
Director Christopher Landon returns to the thriller genre with the playful, keep-you-guessing intensity he perfected in the Happy Death Day films with this of-the-moment whodunnit where everyone in the vicinity is a suspect . . . or victim. Drop is jointly produced by blockbuster genre houses Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes.<\/p>\n
Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy, breakout star of White Lotus and The Perfect Couple, plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry (It Ends with Us\u2019 Brandon Sklenar) is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.<\/p>\n
She is instructed to tell nobody and follow instructions or the hooded figure she sees on her home security cameras will kill Violet\u2019s young son and babysitting sister. Violet must do exactly as directed or everyone she loves will die. Her unseen tormentor\u2019s final directive? Kill Henry.<\/p>\n<\/ins>\n The film also stars Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) and newcomer Jacob Robinson as Violet\u2019s sister and son; with Reed Diamond (Moneyball), Gabrielle Ryan (Power Book IV: Force), Jeffery Self (Mack & Rita), Ed Weeks (The Mindy Project) and Travis Nelson (The Lake) as the restaurant\u2019s staff and diners.<\/p>\n Drop is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Landon, the writer-director of last year\u2019s We Have a Ghost and the zeitgeist-rattling Blumhouse hits Freaky, Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones and the Happy Death Day films.<\/p>\n The film is written by Jillian Jacobs & Chris Roach, writers of Blumhouse\u2019s Truth or Dare and Fantasy Island.
