Drop is certainly cheesy and outlandish at times, you’ll even roll your eyes once or twice. But like the most thrilling of those 90s thrillers, you’ll never be bored.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2025

...the best compliment I can give is that I couldn’t wait for it to be over.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 21, 2025

Landon shows a playfully nimble majesty where it comes to balancing suspense, horror, humor, and general human pathos.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 20, 2025

As we watch Violet juggle her anxieties, “Drop” shrewdly reminds viewers of how women are expected to perform in public without being seen as “crazy.”

| Apr 17, 2025

It’s enjoyable stuff: a taut and crisply edited balance between humour and horror.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 15, 2025

Drop may defy reason (and, somehow, physics), but thankfully, it still adheres to a basic tenet of cinema: If it’s not going to be smart, at least let it be fun.

Fahy doesn’t make a single misstep. Her performance is taut, progressing from first-date butterflies to life-and-death anxiety without so much as a second to catch her breath—let alone ours.

The absurd plot twists in “Drop,” might be tolerable if the film weren’t so distastefully tethered to domestic violence.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 12, 2025

Flimsy, forgettable fun.

| Apr 11, 2025

Clever in an Alfred Hitchcock-meets-ChatGPT kind of way. The plot is silly and the climax is at once too fast, too slow and too ludicrous.

| Apr 11, 2025

"While the material alone could have been basic, what Landon makes of it with such stylish and emotional execution is anything but."

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 11, 2025

In its execution, though, it reminded me more of a pulled-over drunken driver, quite sure he is walking in a straight line when in fact he's a foot wide of the mark and on the verge of toppling into a ditch.

A canny cautionary tale about the perils of looking for Mr. Right—and of keeping your phone powered on at dinner.

| Apr 11, 2025

This expertly-done B movie plunges breakout star Meghann Fahy into one of the scariest situations ever—a first date. The dude (Brandon Sklenar) is a charmer, yet her phone keeps buzzing with text messages to kill him. Hang on for a nerve-jangling ride.

| Apr 11, 2025

There’s just something generous about a movie like “Drop,” which has no ego behind it and no ambition but to press those buttons and make an audience scream, squirm and wonder what’s going to happen next.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2025

“Drop” gets the job done, and even throws in an excellent cocktail-piano rendition of “Baby Shark.”

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2025

“Drop” is pleasantly silly and minimally suspenseful.

| Apr 10, 2025

At its best, though, Drop updates the small-scale, high-concept suspense that Hollywood has had on airplane mode for too long.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 10, 2025

“Drop” is the sort of unpretentious suspense exercise that takes a single absurd premise and works every variation it can within a streamlined 100 minutes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2025

The script’s “rules” need to be credible in these things, or we just get twitchy and bored, which is unfortunately the case here.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 10, 2025
