Charlotte L. reviews the mystery thriller Drop

I really enjoyed "Drop" because its comedic characters take the edge off and the music helps draw us in and provides great transitions.

Drop is a thriller about a young widowed mother, Violet (Meghann Fahy) who goes on her first date in years with a nice man named Henry (Brandon Sklenar). She begins to receive airdrop messages, at first assuming they are a joke, until whoever is sending her them, begins threatening her son, Toby (Jacob Robinson) and her sister, Jen (Violett Beane). She begins to wonder who this mysterious sender is and whether it might be her date?

I particularly enjoyed the storyline, the acting and the background music. Noteworthy are the comedic characters, which help lighten the mood and take the edge off this thriller. For example, Violet and Henry’s waiter, Matt (Jeffery Self) plays a comedic character. His jokes and ironic statements truly lighten the mood and he steals the show; he made me look forward to his next scene. Another humorous character is Violet’s sister, Jen, who plays the part of a teasing sister. She brings humor to the scary parts of the movie and her teasing makes it seem as if she and Violet are truly family. Meghann Fahy, as Violet, is incredibly well played. During the frightening scenes her face reads of fear and I really believed she was scared during those scenes. Drop has fantastic music that provides great transitions, adding suspense and excitement – and definitely made me hold on to my seat in anticipation. The soundtrack shifts from a scary scene to a calm scene, with smooth and unnoticeable transitions.

The message of Drop is that, even when your situation is tough and it seems hopeless, never give up. Parents should be warned that there is cursing, strong violence, death, and hints of suicide.

I give Drop 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18 plus adults. It releases in theaters on April 11, 2025. #Drop #MeghannFahy #BrandonSklenar #JacobRobinson #ViolettBeane #JefferySelf
