Summary
The new BlumhousehorrormovieDropnow has a trailerthat teases the eerie and exciting story of a woman going on a date that quickly spins into a nightmare she couldn’t have predicted.
The White Lotusseason 2starMeghann Fahy playsViolet, a single parent who finally goes on a date with Henry (Brandon Sklenar), someone she has been talking to for a while. As the date progresses,Violet gets somestrange drops to her cell phone from a mysterious killerand realizes that she has one task: murder Henry or her son and babysitter will be killed.
Dropis particularly excitingbecause of itsdirector, Christopher Landon, who is a horror movie veteran. From the trailer,Landon’s signature sense of humor is presentas the babysitter asks Violet, “Did you mean to dress like a candy cane?” Then, when Violet shows up at the restaurant, she tells her date she got a drink “because I was nervous.” While the date is going well, Violet and Henry realize something cruel is at work as she begins getting drops from someone, and she has no idea what’s going on. As the trailer says,“If you break the rules, somebody gets hurt.”
Blumhouse is having a great 2025 so far asWolf Manis doing well at the box office. Thepractical effects ofWolf Manare just one reason to check it out. There’s no doubt thatDroplooks just as chilling asWolf Manalthough, of course, for different reasons. Like other Blumhouse movies,Droplooks like it tells a fascinating story beyond just the classic horror or thriller elements. Violet feels guilty about leaving her son but wants to go on this date, start a new relationship, and do something for herself. She’s dealing with a lot of complicated emotions, and now she has to fight for her survival as well.
