“DROP”, is a Psychological Thriller movie, scheduled for a theatrical release in the US on April 11, 2025; and will start streaming on Hulu on June 15, 2025.

All single moms who haven’t been on a date for a while, love it when someone calls and threatens their child who is at home, while they’re sitting at a dinner table with their new date.

♦ DON’T HURT MY FAMILY!!

In “DROP“, Violet is a young widow with a young son who hasn’t been on a date in FOREVER! She finally decides to get back into the dating world. She’s nervous, terrified, doesn’t know what to say or do or expect, doesn’t know what her date expects from her … never once thinks somebody will call during her date and TERRORIZE HER!!

Technology. You love it and you hate it. Violet has just sat down at the table with her dinner date to enjoy what she hopes will be a lovely evening with Henry. She left her young son in capable hands, her young sister. Jen agreed to babysit Toby while her big sister finally goes out to have some fun!

About 5 minutes into the date, Violet gets a phone call. She thinks it’s a prank but the calls keep coming in. Finally one call shows her a video and that’s when she realizes that her son and sister ARE IN DANGER! The caller uses technology and shows here there’s a camera on her and a camera on his sister and son at home.

But what does the person want? Nothing much. Violet just has to KILL HER DATE! You mean … Henry? Yeah. If Henry dies her son and sister live. It’s not complicated.

It’s sadistic, cruel, scary, nightmarish, insane and … OK! OK! It’s complicated!

I love a good psychological thriller, and Drop sounds like it will be intense from start to finish. The premise alone—being forced to kill your date to save your family—is unsettling yet intriguing. I’m curious to see how Meghann Fahy handles such an emotionally charged role. Psychological thrillers often depend on the lead’s ability to sell fear and desperation, so I hope the performances are strong. The setting in Dublin is also interesting; I wonder how it plays into the atmosphere of the film. Based on the reviews, it seems to be a solid movie, but I’ll keep my expectations balanced.

I don’t know… this kind of plot has been done before. A mysterious caller forcing someone to commit a crime or risk losing a loved one? It reminds me of Phone Booth and Saw, just with a dating twist. I’m not saying it will be bad, but I hope it has something unique to offer. I’ll wait for more audience reviews before deciding if it’s worth watching in theaters.

This sounds terrifying in a way that really gets under my skin. As a parent, the idea of someone watching my child and controlling me through technology is horrifying. I think movies like this remind us of the dangers of our connected world. It’s not just entertainment—it’s a warning. I’ll probably watch this at home with the lights on because I can already tell it will make me paranoid.

Seems like a solid thriller, but I’ll probably just wait for it to come to Hulu. Psychological thrillers can be hit or miss for me. Sometimes they’re too predictable, and other times they really get inside your head. Hopefully, this one delivers something fresh.

Thrillers like this can be difficult to pull off because they rely so much on pacing and suspense. If the tension isn’t maintained throughout, it could fall flat. That being said, the cast looks strong, and I’m interested in seeing how they handle the moral dilemma. Does Violet immediately believe the caller, or does she hesitate? Does Henry suspect something is wrong? The way these details unfold will determine how effective the film is. I hope the writing is sharp because a concept like this needs tight execution.
