‘Drop’ Review: Meghann Fahy Gets Stalked By A Murderous Memelord In Christopher Landon Thriller — SXSW


Technology and trauma come together once again for Christopher Landon's latest Blumhouse thriller 'Drop'.

Years after the traumatizing death of her husband, widowed mother Violet ( Meghann Fahy) is ready to put herself back out there, accepting a first date with the charming Henry ( Brandon Sklenar) after three months of online flirtations. Admittedly, the big reveal was mildly predictable after an ensemble of early red herrings, but that’s totally forgiven thanks to the nonstop clever twists and turns that await Fahy’s Violet, a fiercely protective, albeit shame-ridden mother who’s good at thinking on her feet, especially when her child is in danger. Punctuating Landon’s fun and youthful horror repertoire, Drop speaks to a modern obsession with screens over human connection while presenting a fake version of ourselves online and struggling to come to terms with our own unique baggage.
