Drop – Blumhouse Thriller | JioHotstar Aug 11, 2025
What starts as an ordinary evening quickly morphs into a nightmare in Drop, a nerve-wracking psychological thriller that will keep you glued to your screen. Directed by Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky), this tense, modern-day tale unfolds over one terrifying night where technology becomes the enemy.
The Story
Violet (Meghann Fahy), a widowed single mother trying to move forward in life, decides to step into the world of dating again. She meets Henry (Brandon Sklenar) for what should be a quiet, pleasant dinner. But the night takes a dark turn when Violet begins receiving mysterious AirDrop messages from an unknown sender.
At first, the messages are unsettling. Then they turn threatening. With each new instruction, Violet finds herself pulled deeper into a dangerous game — one that blurs the line between random menace and personal vendetta.
