Five years after “Freaky,” Christopher Landon is back with another Blumhouse fright fest. This time, everyone’s a suspect.
In the official trailer for “Drop,” Meghann Fahy (“The White Lotus,” “The Perfect Couple”) stars as the widowed Violet, who takes a step back into the world of dating. However, things soon spiral out of control when she begins getting anonymous airdrop messages sent to her phone, demanding that she kill the dreamy man she’s on a date with. If she doesn’t, then her kids will die.
Fahy was recently Emmy-nominated for her supporting performance in the second season of “The White Lotus,” while her date is played by “It Ends with Us” actor Brandon Sklenar. The cast also includes Violett Beane, Travis Nelson, Fiona Browne, Gabrielle Ryan, Tara Mae and Stephanie Karam.
“Drop” is written by Jillian Jacobs and Christopher Roach, who previously worked together on “Truth or Dare” and “Fantasy Island.” Notably, Landon went on to make “Drop” after the first version of “Scream VII” fell apart and he exited the project back in December 2023. As horror fans may remember, he took to X to explain that “it was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it’s time to move on.”
