‘Drop’ Trailer: Meghann Fahy & Brandon Sklenar Star In Christopher Landon’s New Thriller

Christopher Landon seems to have mastered the genre of horror-comedy. With films like “Happy Death Day,” “Freaky” and, most recently, “We Have a Ghost” under his belt, he seems to have figured out exactly what it takes to do it right, leaving us with a pretty good idea of what to expect from a Landon film. It then comes as quite a surprise to see him make his return with “Drop,” a fast-paced thriller that promises to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Landon is not unfamiliar to the thriller genre; he worked as writer on the 2007 Hitchcock-esque psychological thriller “Disturbia,” which saw some success at the box office.

While Hollywood has had its fair share of ‘bad-date’ movies, perhaps none have been as daring as Landon’s latest. To be fair, making an entire thriller on the premise of “the worst date you can imagine” is a massive and characteristically Landon ordeal. 

The film stars a cast of television actors including Brandon Sklenar, Jeffery Self, Violett Beane, and the Emmy Award nominee Meghann Fahy in the leading role. If Fahy’s performance in The White Lotus is any indication, we are certainly in for a treat.
