Drop is a tightly wound Blumhouse thriller from director Christopher Landon, the filmmaker behind Happy Death Day and Freaky. Meghann Fahy, breaking out after The White Lotus, stars as Violet, a widowed single mother stepping back into the dating world for the first time in years. Her date at an upscale high-rise restaurant is meant to be a fresh start — until her phone begins to buzz.
As Violet sits across from her seemingly perfect date, Henry (Brandon Sklenar), she starts receiving anonymous, escalating messages through an AirDrop-style app. The sender can see her, is somewhere inside the restaurant, and threatens to have her young son killed at home unless she obeys — including a demand that she murder her date. Unfolding almost in real time within a single location, the film turns a candlelit dinner into an agonizing pressure cooker.
Written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach and produced under the Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes banners, Drop opened in April 2025 to an 83% Rotten Tomatoes score and strong word of mouth for Fahy, grossing roughly $28 million against an $11 million budget. Critics praised how Landon sustains tension almost entirely through a woman, a phone and a table she cannot leave.

The The Descent 2 movie came out quite good, though not quite clear on what audience its targeted: the big money is clearly not the film strong component. There is something that fans of Neil Marshall's movies really have to be angry about. No, the new director did everything well, but he films as there is manual on directing in his hands. Harris can build his own personal Descent by deadly accurate proportions. Each of the characters is on the path of least resistance: the main character tries to atone her sins; deliberately bad cop is concerned how annoying the viewer only, faceless extras just dies beautifully and in the diverse ways…

Ninja Assassin stands in the same discipline as the "300" and does not exclude the possibility that even gets to windward it by part of naturalistic massacre. The blood and meat, at least is not worse, than at the best slaughterhouses, and a number of overly dark scenes fully offset by a crazy drive in all other battles with the stabbing. The plot about love, revenge, betrayal is not limit of perfection, of course, but looks as a necessary evil.
