by Alex DiVincenzo · Bloody DisgustingFollowing its debut in theaters attached to Wolf Man, the trailer for Drop has made its way online.
From director Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky), the horror-thriller drops in theaters on April 11 via Universal.
Meghann Fahy (“The White Lotus”) and Brandon Sklenar (It Ends With Us) star as a couple on a blind first-date whose romantic dinner spirals into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse in which everyone’s a suspect.
“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.
“She is instructed to tell nobody and follow instructions or the hooded figure she sees on her home security cameras will kill Violet’s young son and babysitting sister. Violet must do exactly as directed or everyone she loves will die. Her unseen tormentor’s final directive? Kill Henry.”
Violett Beane, Jacob Robinson, Reed Diamond, Gabrielle Ryan, Jeffery Self, Ed Weeks, and Travis Nelson round out the cast.
Jillian Jacobs & Christopher Roach (Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island) wrote the film, which Landon calls his love letter to Brian De Palma.
Blumhouse (M3GAN) and Platinum Dunes (A Quiet Place) produce.
Landon is currently working on the werewolf movie Big Bad for Lionsgate.
