Drop

Movie 2025 95 min Mystery, Thriller Last reviewed 1 Sep 2026
Official Rating MA 15+ ClearAge 14+ Quality ★★★★☆

Our take

Drop is a PG-13 Blumhouse thriller about a single mother terrorized by anonymous messages during a first date while her son and sister are held hostage. Violence includes gun threats, stabbings, and assaults on women, plus a depicted suicide and dialogue about domestic abuse. Language includes one f-word and sexual references. Best for teens who handle home-invasion suspense

Uplifting themes

Courage and protecting family under impossible odds are central The lead uses calm problem-solving while fighting for her child

Story (may spoil tone)

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.

Talk after watching

  • Technology can be used to control people from a distance. How do you stay safe online and in public?
  • The hero works with domestic-violence survivors. What support do people need after abuse?
