Critics Consensus

A Hitchcockian thriller that cleverly utilizes modern technology for its twists and turns, Drop delivers on its pulpy premise while providing a welcome showcase for Meghann Fahy's leading lady chops.

Bloody Disgusting

This first-date gone wrong thriller serves as the filmmaker’s propulsive, infectious tribute to Wes Craven’s Red Eye, resulting in a highly stylized dramatic thriller that’ll leave you fist-pumping to “Yahtzee!”

Rated: 3.5/5

Jacob Oller

AV Club

While it’s never tightly paced or logically coherent enough to actually excite, Drop offers a self-aware take on its silly brand of nervy fun.

Rated: C+

IGN Movies

A tightly plotted and unpretentious thrill ride. By concentrating on suspense (with only a light sprinkling of snark), Happy Death Day and Freaky director Christopher Landon successfully pulls off the techno-paranoiac premise.

Rated: 7/10

Drop has some nice thrills, two likable leads, and a nice injection of visual style from Chris Landon. The plot asks for a bit too much suspension of disbelief but it still makes for a fun ride if you're along for it.

Rated: 3.75/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Part romance and all gas pedal, Drop is the kind of movie meant to headline SXSW. And once again, Christopher Landon knows just how to make a narrative gimmick into a genre thrill ride.

Rated: 7/10

The MovieMaven

First date. Fancy restaurant. What could go wrong? The movie does a killer job in keeping the whodunnit mystery up and ratcheting up the nerve-racking tension. “Drop” is a suspenseful hell hath no fury like a trapped woman whose son is in danger.
