Drop offers a fresh take on the psychological thriller with a scenario that’s as unsettling as it is captivating. It’s a film that not only entertains but also leaves you pondering the extremes one might go to when pushed to the brink. The film is simply breathless and jaw-dropping, with the Restaurant part of the climax being a part we will never forget. It can become one of the best films of the year. The director uses visual attacks: the scenes of violence are so raw, you don’t want to watch. You close your eyes, and that’s the point. It mirrors how often we look away from real-life pain. The woman endures, and the viewer feels guilty for the comfort of their theatre seat.
The Strange Storyline
The film unfolds with Violet, portrayed compellingly by Meghann Fahy, a recently widowed mother looking to rekindle her personal life by stepping back into the dating scene, set against the backdrop of a seemingly innocent dinner date, the stakes are anything but ordinary. The evening takes a terrifying turn when Violet receives threats from a mysterious figure, pushing her into a corner where each choice could mean life or death for her loved ones
The Best Part
The Drop movie is unique and actually fairly believable. There is no nudity, no sex scenes, but some graphic violence and possibly a bit too scary for little children. Once again, Blumhouse has tried something a little different and has done a great job. Especially keeping the movie mostly in one place, it was still great. The suspense is intense, and you get drawn into the tough decisions the female lead is forced to make. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, the story takes another turn.

Should You Watch This?
The screenplay is razor sharp, unflinching, and unafraid to cut deep. It dares to say what others whisper. It dares to show what others erase. The dialogue snaps, seduces, and scars. It resurrects hope in a time of narrative laziness. This is what the future of cinema looks like when artists stop apologising and start revolutionising. They utilised the themes of abuse, manipulation with the combination of technology. It’s a great cat-and-mouse game with the bad guys trying to make a woman kill her date. You should definitely give it a try.
The Characters
The main character, Violet (Meghann Fahy), is portrayed as a Character, a city one might want to stay in. It is not just a backdrop, but a mirror of internal conflict. Every actor had a specific role in everything, and the whole time, you’re wondering who the enemy is.
