Universal Pictures has just dropped the official trailer for Drop, a thrilling and suspenseful ride that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Directed by Christopher Landon, best known for his work on Happy Death Day and Freaky, Drop is a tense, high-stakes thriller that combines playful intensity with blood-chilling suspense. The film, written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach, delivers a unique twist on the classic first-date scenario, turning a seemingly romantic evening into a nightmarish ordeal.
Starring Meghann Fahy as Violet, a widowed mother who hasn't dated in years, Drop kicks off with what seems like a promising first date with Henry, played by Brandon Sklenar. The chemistry between Violet and Henry is palpable, and Violet is relieved that her date is charming and more handsome than she could have imagined. But the evening takes a horrific turn when Violet begins receiving anonymous messages—memes at first, but quickly escalating from annoying to deeply disturbing, and then to outright homicidal threats.
As Violet tries to make sense of the escalating terror, she learns that her tormentor is not just playing mind games. Her son and babysitting sister’s lives are on the line. The figure behind the screen is watching her every move through her home security cameras, and the instructions she receives are clear: follow them, or everyone she loves will die. The final chilling directive? Kill Henry. With no choice but to comply if she wants her family to survive, Violet must navigate a web of terror, suspicion, and life-or-death decisions in a race against time.
Drop is a masterclass in tension, keeping audiences guessing at every turn. Like Landon’s previous works, this film plays with the balance between horror and humor, blending lighthearted moments with harrowing situations, where anyone in the vicinity could be a suspect—or a victim. As the story unfolds, the stakes grow higher, and Violet’s already fragile world begins to crumble under the weight of a threat she can’t escape.
The film also stars Violett Beane, Jacob Robinson, Reed Diamond, Gabrielle Ryan, Jeffery Self, Ed Weeks, and Travis Nelson, each adding depth to the story as it spirals into an unpredictable thriller.
Drop is slated for release on April 11th, 2025, and based on the intense trailer, it’s clear this film will be a must-see for thriller lovers. With a talented cast, a nerve-wracking plot, and Christopher Landon’s signature flair for suspense, Drop is sure to deliver a wild, edge-of-your-seat experience. Get ready for a first date like no other—one where every text could be your last.
