Universal Pictures has debuted a new trailer for Christopher Landon’s thriller ‘Drop.

First dates are nerve-wracking enough. Going on a first date while an unnamed, unseen troll pings you personal memes that escalate from annoying to homicidal? Blood-chilling.

Director Christopher Landon returns to the thriller genre with the playful, keep-you-guessing intensity he perfected in the Happy Death Day films with this of-the-moment whodunnit where everyone in the vicinity is a suspect . . . or victim.

Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy, the breakout star of White Lotus and The Perfect Couple, plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry (It Ends with Us’ Brandon Sklenar) is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet becomes irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.

Everyone is a suspect in the new trailer for Drop. The upcoming mystery thriller is the latest movie from Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon.

The White Lotus breakout star Meghann Fahy, who earned an Emmy nomination for her performance in the HBO series' second season, stars in the new Drop trailer. The footage reveals that Fahy's Violet is receiving anonymous drops to her phone while on her first date in years. As the drops continue, Violet is soon instructed by the mysterious sender to murder her date, Henry, played by It Ends with Us and 1923 fan favorite Brandon Sklenar. First dates can be nerve-wracking enough, but Drop will seemingly take things to a blood-chilling level with the trailer showing several violent and terrorizing sequences. Check out the new Drop trailer below.

What begins as an ordinary first date quickly descends into chaos in Drop, the new high-concept thriller from Christopher Landon, whose gift for genre-blending was previously on full display in Happy Death Day and Freaky. Set entirely over the course of one harrowing night, the film sees White Lotus star Meghann Fahy thrust into a waking nightmare driven by a series of mysterious, increasingly dangerous phone messages.

Fahy plays Violet, a widowed mother cautiously stepping back into the world of dating after years of grieving. Her nerves are eased when she meets Henry, played by Brandon Sklenar (It Ends with Us), whose charm and easy manner appear to offer a spark of new beginnings. But things sour fast. Violet’s phone begins to ping with anonymous messages and cruelly tailored memes – personal jabs that quickly shift from irritating to deeply menacing.

What begins as psychological manipulation escalates to full-blown terror.

First dates are nerve-wracking enough without getting trolled by an unnamed stalker asking you to kill said date. But that’s just where Violet finds herself in Christopher Landon‘s new film Drop. From a script by Jillian Jacobs & Chris Roach, Drop is a thrilling whodunit coming soon from Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes.

Read the full synopsis below:

Violet is a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.

She is instructed to tell nobody and follow instructions or the hooded figure she sees on her home security cameras will kill Violet’s young son and babysitting sister. Violet must do exactly as directed or everyone she loves will die.

Freaky and Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon was supposed to be working on Scream 7 – but that project turned out to be so troubled, he had to activate his ejector seat and get out of there. While he has since been replaced on Scream 7 by Kevin Williamson, he has been busy lining up other genre projects, signing on to direct the werewolf thriller Big Bad and the “fast-paced thriller” Drop. Coming our way from Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, the production company team that has previously brought us the Purge franchise, Drop moved forward first, and is aiming for an April 11th theatrical release. With that date swiftly approaching, a new trailer for the film has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Horror director icon Christopher Landon is back onscreen with twisty whodunit thriller “Drop” starring “The White Lotus” breakout Meghann Fahy.

“Drop” centers on Violet (Fahy), a single mother and therapist who is trying to get back into the dating game after leaving an abusive ex. However, during her first date with Henry (Brandon Sklenar) whom she met on a Tinder-like app, Violet is terrorized and blackmailed by a series of anonymous AirDrops to her phone. Violett Beane and Jacob Robinson also star.

The film takes place in a single-location. Jillian Jacobs and Christopher Roach (“Truth or Dare”) wrote the script. “Drop” debuted at SXSW, where the IndieWire review deemed it a “punchy thriller.”

“‘Drop’ delivers a far more pleasurable jolt than any I.P. could have,” IndieWire film editor Ryan Lattanzio wrote. “Here, ‘The Bold Type’ and ‘The White Lotus’ TV comedy breakout Meghann Fahy proves herself a terrific (and...

While the role of Hannah Montana is now known as the role that launched the career of superstar Miley Cyrus, in another reality, it would have been the big breakout role of Pretty Little Liars starLucy Hale. From the mid-2000s to the early 2010s, the names Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus were inescapable as they were a cultural phenomenon. After 17 years, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert still remains the highest-grossing Super Bowl weekend opening and Hannah Montana: The Movie grossed $155 million worldwide in 2009. It is hard to imagine anyone else in the role of Hannah Montana, but it turns out the role could have been very different if she had looked like Katy Keene's star.

Following a movie about a rampaging, coke-fueled bear was never going to be easy, but Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden is giving it his best shot with the comic thriller Borderline (out now), which he also directed. A twisted look at the dark side of fame, it stars Samara Weaving, Warden’s wife, as a Nineties pop star who has to fend off a sociopathic stalker who’s convinced he and the object of his obsession are meant to be married.

“Jimmy’s brain is my favorite thing,” Weaving says.

Happy Death Day and Freakydirector Christopher Landon pushes another familiar genre premise to satisfyingly absurd heights in his latest film, Drop. Co-stars Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar are game for the delightfully bonkers thriller, which turns the horrifying experience of dating as a woman into a literal fight for survival.

Following the death of her abusive husband, Violet (Fahy) has become a successful therapist who treats victims of domestic violence. Given her traumatic past and the demands of raising a cartoonishly adorable kid, Violet (understandably) hasn’t been on a date in years. After exchanging DMs with a nice photographer named Henry (Sklenar) for a few months, Violet agrees to a first date at a bougie restaurant atop a massive high-rise with killer views.

Within minutes of arriving, their date is already on thin ice: Henry is running late, Violet is worried about her kid, and their server (Jeffrey Self...

The new movie Drop just had its world premiere at the South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival, and the critics in attendance couldn't have been more impressed. With its debut score earned from its SXSW reviews, the film has drawn unanimous love.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Drop has garnered a debut score of 100%. Critics are in agreement that does not overstay its welcome, feeling just right with its runtime that keeps the pace flowing nicely without any dull moments. The film has also been praised for its "intense" cat-and-mouse storytelling, with Discussing Film critic Andrew J. Salazar calling it a "clever thriller... with cunning visuals and tons of fun energy."

Tessa Smith of Mama's Geeky stated, "An intense ninety-minute long thriller that will have viewers on the edge of their seats as they try to put the pieces of the puzzle together. The third act goes hard!"

"While there are plenty...

It’s a good thing director Christopher Landon‘s exit from the “Scream” franchise cleared his schedule: The punchy if risible single-location thriller “Drop” delivers a far more pleasurable jolt than any I.P. could have. Here, “The Bold Type” and “The White Lotus” TV comedy breakout Meghann Fahy proves herself a terrific (and Hitchcock-shade-of-blonde) genre actress as a traumatized widow on the worst first date of her life. Luckily, that first date is in the soothing, handsome presence of Brandon Sklenar as a press photographer with baggage of his own.

Running a cool 90 minutes, “Drop” takes place almost entirely in a top-of-the-world kind of high-rise restaurant in Chicago, where Violet (Fahy) is meeting Henry (Sklenar) off a Tinder-like app, and where this appears to be Violet’s first date after surviving a brutally abusive ex. How “Drop” draws a line between the traumas Violet suffered at the hands...

Everybody wants rom-coms to have a renaissance, but nobody seems to know how they should evolve to reflect the realities of the modern world. Few of the recent efforts to resurrect the form have been meaningfully successful, and most of those rare successes have used hot new stars to hide their reliance on dusty old tropes; no shade to the breezy appeal of “Anyone but You,” but no one would accuse that Shakespeare-inspired charmer of trying to move the genre forward.

The prevailing wisdom is that the unfettered wish fulfillment of movies like “Sleepless in Seattle” (or whatever) is a poor fit for the messiness of the digital age, even if it really had more to do with the fact that social media has made it hard to write a decent meet-cute, and the streaming boom gave Hollywood studios an excuse to stop trying. But wish fulfillment was always just...

After her breakthrough role in Pretty Little Liars, Lucy Hale has recently starred in a string of films that offer her own brand of laughs or terror. She confidently struts down the rom-com path with wholesome installments of The Hating Game, ANice Girl Like You or Which Brings Me To You, where she delivers an offbeat intensity around sex and relationships that is awkwardly relatable. On the other hand, her roles in the horror genre, including Truth or Dare or Fantasy Island, take us back to the constant fear and paranoia of being stalked by "A," just in a more mature setting. In 2025, it is about time that these two worlds collided, giving us the ultimate Hale production: F Marry Kill.

As the Harry Potter universe is expanding with the upcoming TV show, the original actors continue to make their mark in the industry outside of the roles that marked them. Now, Daniel Radcliffe is expected to make his superhero debut.

After a string of rumors about him playing Wolverine in a future movie or even a Wolverine variant in Deadpool & Wolverine, that turned out not to be true. However, after working on different projects to set himself apart from the Boy Who Lived, Radcliffe might get his superhero genre debut after all. Per industry insider The InSneider, Radcliffe is one of two actors eyed to play the leading character in DC's upcoming movie, Clayface.

The search for the person who would direct the film continued well into 2025, with two potential horror directors reportedly in the final stages to direct the film, Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare) and James Watkins (Speak No Evil). Per The Hollywood Reporter, Watkins is officially set to direct Clayface.

DC Studios is moving forward with a Clayface movie, bringing on some fresh talent to direct. Jeff Wadlow and James Watkins are among the front-runners, with both having significant experience in horror. Next week, DC will begin hearing pitches from various filmmakers, with Wadlow and Watkins already standing out.

This film will be the first horror-focused entry in the DC Universe, with Mike Flanagan, known for his horror work like The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep, writing the script. However, due to other commitments, Flanagan won’t be directing, leading DC to search for someone who can bring his emotional, psychological horror style to life on screen.

Wadlow, with films like Truth or Dare and Fantasy Island, is skilled in crafting supernatural horror that can appeal to wide audiences. On the other hand, Watkins, known for more intense horror like Eden Lake and The Woman in Black, would bring a darker,...

Scooper @MyTimeToShineH recently revealed that Speak No Evil's James Watkins is being eyed to direct Clayface. Deadline has today confirmed that he's in the mix; however, Watkins is not alone.

According to the trade, Kick-Ass 2 director Jeff Wadlow is among those being invited to pitch their take on the Dcu movie. Beyond his comic book movie experience (which includes the script for 2020's Bloodshot), the filmmaker has helmed critically panned horror flicks like Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island, and Imaginary.

Ultimately, DC Studios will choose the filmmaker they believe is right for the job but Watkins feels like the better fit given his filmography includes the likes of Eden Lake and The Woman in Black.

As for why writer Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House) isn't set to helm Clayface, it's said he was never going to be among those considered due to commitments to other projects,...

DC Studios is moving full steam ahead with their Clayface movie, which already has a screenplay ready to go by horror auteur Mike Flanagan and a current release date of September 11, 2026. The next stage of the development process is finding the right director, and the DC brass has two potential names in mind for the job.

Per Deadline, Jeff Wadlow and James Watkins are being eyed for the job, and DC Studios is ready to hear pitches from both directors next week. Other directors could very well be in the mix, but these are the two names that are coming out ahead of the rest.

An update has been revealed for Clayface, the DC Studios film that will put the shapeshifting supervillain front and center as the star of his own story. The movie will be written by Mike Flanagan, who has been heavily praised for his horror work, and now two potential directors have been named.

Per Deadline, the filmmakers currently in consideration to direct Clayface include Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare) and James Watkins (Speak No Evil). Reportedly, the casting process is underway as well, though no actors have yet been named. The plan is to first get a director on board so the filmmaker can be involved with locking down specific cast members for desired roles. While Flanagan has been praised for his work as a director, he is only handling writing duties on Clayface with no intention of taking the helm himself, as he remains committed to his upcoming Exorcist reboot.

When it was first announced that Mike Flanagan was writing the script for DC’s Clayface movie, many people believed he would ultimately direct it as well, but according to Deadline, Warner Bros. is due to hear pitches from several other potential directors in the coming week. The outlet says that those being considered include Jeff Wadlow (Truth or Dare) and James Watkins (Speak No Evil).

While it would be nice to see Flanagan take the helm of the Clayface movie, the man is very busy with other projects, such as writing, directing, and producing the new Exorcist movie. Not much is known about the project at this stage, only that it is said to be a “horror-thriller-tragedy.“

More than 30 years after Madonna: Truth or Dare, the documentary still has a hold on LGBTQ pop music and cinema.

In Troye Sivan‘s new Grindr campaign Tap or Block, directed by Jake Wilson and produced by Juxtapose Studio’s Charlie Wilson (no relation), the Australian gay pop-star and his Something to Give Each Other Tour dancers discuss hotel sex, open relationships, communication and more as they pay tribute to the 1991 Alek Kesheshian and Mark Aldo Miceli-helmed documentary.

“What was really fun about this idea is it came around really organically,” Charlie Wilson tells Deadline. “Once we had Troye’s interest and Grindr’s interest, it seemed like such a natural segue from really hearing how proud Troye was about this tour and how close his relationship was with these dancers, and thinking about how Grindr is this boundary-pushing, sex-positive brand.”

Perrineau joins an ensemble which also includes Katherine Waterston, Simon Pegg, Minnie Driver, Cush Jumbo, Rose Williams and Miriam Margolyes, as previously announced.

Inspired by a BBC Newsnight exposé, the film tells the untold story of 50 women who were forcibly confined in isolation at Surrey’s Long Grove Asylum. Beginning in 1907, these women — deemed typhoid carriers — were imprisoned in the former psychiatric hospital, their lives shaped by fear, stigma, and medical injustice. Pic explores their struggle for freedom and dignity in the face of a system that saw them as threats rather than individuals, shedding light on a dark chapter in medical history.

Next, the psychological horror film The Woman in the Yard will be released in March, followed by the upcoming horror thriller Drop in April. To build excitement for Drop's release, Blumhouse just released the gripping official trailer for the film. We shared it above.

If you got the chance to see Wolf Man in theaters, you likely caught the trailer for Drop. Moviegoers were treated to a chilling glimpse of the upcoming horror thriller during the previews. Now, everyone has the opportunity to see the full trailer online. After watching the 2-minute and 41-second trailer, I have so many thoughts. What I will say is that this movie will make you rethink whether dating is worth the risk, especially if a simple date could put you in grave danger.

Directed by Christopher Landon from a screenplay co-written by...

Universal Pictures has revealed the new trailer for Drop, the upcoming thriller from Blumhouse and director Christopher Landon. The film will open in theaters on April 11.

Drop has been rated PG-13 by the MPA for strong violent content, suicide, some strong language, and sexual references.

First dates are nerve-wracking enough. Going on a first date while an unnamed, unseen troll pings you personal memes that escalate from annoying to homicidal? Blood-chilling.

Director Christopher Landon returns to the thriller genre with the playful, keep-you-guessing intensity he perfected in the Happy Death Day films with this of-the-moment whodunnit where everyone in the vicinity is a suspect… or victim. Drop is jointly produced by blockbuster genre houses Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes.

Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy, the breakout star of The White Lotus and The Perfect Couple, plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant...

First dates are already nerve-wracking enough. Going on a first date while an unnamed, unseen troll pings you personal memes that escalate from annoying to homicidal? That's blood-chilling and just so happens to be the premise of Blumhouse's latest movie, Drop, and the first trailer has just...dropped (via FearHQ.com).

Filmmaker Christopher Landon returns to the thriller/horror genre with what's described as "[the] playful, keep-you-guessing intensity" he displayed in the Happy Death Day films with this of-the-moment whodunnit where everyone in the vicinity is a suspect...or victim.

Drop is jointly produced by blockbuster genre houses Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes.

Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy, the breakout star of White Lotus and The Perfect Couple, plays Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, who arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry (It Ends with Us' Brandon Sklenar) is more charming and handsome than she expected.

Following its debut in theaters attached to Wolf Man, the trailer for Drop has made its way online.

From director Christopher Landon, the horror-thriller drops in theaters on April 11 via Universal.

Meghann Fahy (“The White Lotus”) and Brandon Sklenar (It Ends With Us) star as a couple on a blind first-date whose romantic dinner spirals into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse in which everyone’s a suspect.

“Violet, a widowed mother on her first date in years, arrives at an upscale restaurant where she is relieved that her date, Henry is more charming and handsome than she expected. But their chemistry begins to curdle as Violet begins being irritated and then terrorized by a series of anonymous drops to her phone.

“She is instructed to tell nobody and follow instructions or the hooded figure she sees on her home security cameras will kill Violet’s young son and babysitting sister.

Freaky and Happy Death Day director Christopher Landon was supposed to be working on Scream 7 – but that project turned out to be so troubled, he had to activate his ejector seat and get out of there. While he has since been replaced on Scream 7 by Kevin Williamson, he has been busy lining up other genre projects, signing on to direct the werewolf thriller Big Bad and the “fast-paced thriller” Drop. Coming our way from Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, the production company team that has previously brought us the Purge franchise, Drop moved forward first, and is aiming for an April 11th theatrical release. With that date swiftly approaching, a trailer for Drop has dropped and can be seen in the embed above.

Things kick up a notch in the third episode of BBC’s comedy horror. Here’s our thoughts on Video Nasty episode 3.

After two episodes of setting up the scene, Video Nasty finally gets into the meat of the story in episode 3, entitled Fangoria Fangirl after Billy’s pen pal. The series has teased its horror elements in its previous episodes and good things come to those who wait as Video Nasty shifts gears.

This time, Billy, Con and Zoe have reached their destination of Ashfield, a small, quaint English village in the Midlands. They’re due to meet Billy’s penpal at the local pub, but something’s a little off as the trio ran into someone in a disturbing witch doctor mask in the woods.

The teens think it was just someone local dressed up for Ashdale’s annual festival, which pays respects for those who lost their...

Imagine this: You’ve been documenting your favorite albums throughout the year and you are ready to write your Top 10 list, but then that artist who never makes bad music decides to bless us with a surprise release in the fourth quarter.

In 2022 it was Sza and Sos, and it only took a few listens of that marvelous album to rise to No. 2 on my list, necessitating a rewrite. This year it’s Kendrick Lamar and Gnx — a last-minute drop that easily made it to this year’s list, along with several other stunning projects that have been in heavy rotation in my AirPods and appeared all over my Spotify Wrapped.

1. Beyoncé, Cowboy Carter

At 27 tracks, Cowboy Carter is more than an album. It’s supreme art that also serves as a history lesson. Reclaiming a genre created by Black people, Beyoncé tackles country music in her own way, with stunning results.

Just in time for Halloween, a trailer for the BuzzFeed Studios-produced comedy thriller F Marry Kill made its way online (you can watch it in the embed above), and at that time the film was set to receive a digital, VOD, and limited theatrical release on December 6th. Since then, the release was pushed back to sometime in March in an effort to align the domestic release with its international roll-out… but some of the PVOD platforms didn’t get the message. As Deadline reports, F Marry Kill reached some digital stores and PVOD on December 6th, then disappeared a few hours later. So if you managed to catch the movie during that brief window last Friday – congratulations, you got a special sneak peek! If you didn’t catch it, there’s still three months left to wait for it.
