“Everyone she sees is a suspect.” That’s the pulse-pounding premise of DROP, the latest psychological thriller from director Christopher Landon, arriving exclusively in theaters on April 11. The official trailer has dropped—and it’s already sending chills across social media.
Fresh off her Emmy-nominated turn in The White Lotus, Meghann Fahy leads this twisted, tech-fueled whodunnit that turns a seemingly perfect evening into a suspenseful nightmare. When Violet (Fahy), a widowed mother dipping her toe back into the dating pool, meets the charming Henry (played by It Ends with Us’s Brandon Sklenar) at a sleek restaurant, sparks initially fly. But things quickly take a sinister turn.
Unsettling messages begin to “drop” on Violet’s phone—creepy memes that spiral from teasing to threatening. She’s warned: Tell no one, or your son and sister die. Her tormentor watches from afar, hacking into her home security feed, turning every glance and every guest into a potential suspect. As panic sets in, Violet faces the unthinkable: her final instruction is to kill Henry.
DROP is not just a thriller—it’s a social commentary on surveillance, digital anxiety, and the fragility of trust in a hyperconnected world. With Landon’s signature mix of tension and twisted humor (as seen in Happy Death Day and Freaky), audiences can expect a rollercoaster ride that keeps them guessing until the final frame.
The ensemble cast adds depth and suspense, featuring Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) as Violet’s protective sister, newcomer Jacob Robinson as her young son, and an ensemble of intriguing restaurant patrons portrayed by Reed Diamond, Gabrielle Ryan, Jeffery Self, Ed Weeks, and Travis Nelson.
Behind the camera, the film is backed by genre heavyweights Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes. Produced by Jason Blum, Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Cameron Fuller, DROP combines eerie realism with edge-of-your-seat tension.
