Film Review – Drop

“Drop” is a film that doesn’t want its audience to think about the details when watching the central crisis of the plot unfold. It’s not a picture that stands up to scrutiny, playing fast and loose with technological manipulation and basic human response to troubling situations. It’s the latest from director Christopher Landon, who’s made a career out of goofy horror movies (“Happy Death Day,” “Freaky,” “We Have a Ghost”), and he’s back with another heightened tale of torment, this time working within the small confines of a fine-dining restaurant as the main character does battle against a phone-based aggressor. Written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach, “Drop” intends to offer some thrills and chills, but it takes a lot to buy into the whole endeavor, which is filled with questionable logic (before that’s fully eliminated in the finale) and bits of bad taste. It’s also not that effective in the suspense department, as the central idea runs out of gas in the first act. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
