Drop

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.

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

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

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.”

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

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.

'Drop' never goes so far as to follow the common B movie trope of cheesy-for-the-sake-of-cheesy, although the big final sequence could have benefitted greatly from an extra helping from the fromagerie.

Landon embraces the inherent tension of creating a thriller all set in the confined space of the restaurant. … Unfortunately, Landon can’t sustain that constricted feeling for the whole run, and the action kind of goes off the rails [near the end].

Pulse-pounding fun with style and the right amount of silly.

Drop is a playful contrast on the trope of women in horror by taking charge and having fun with it. An end to end intense thriller.
