Should you love high-concept movies, likelihood is you’ve lengthy been a fan of filmmaker Christopher Landon – the person who’s by no means met a style he couldn’t mash. After taking a detour into extra family-friendly territory with We Have A Ghost, the director of Freaky and the Pleased Dying Day motion pictures is again in full-blown horror territory with Drop, boasting a brief, easy premise: a lady on a date receives sinister AirDrops from somebody within the neighborhood, imploring her to kill the person she’s simply met. Watch the trailer:
For all of the modernity of AirDrop as an idea (for the uninitiated, it’s when you possibly can ship photographs and extra to individuals close to you with out disclosing your id – largely, you’d simply use it to ship a couple of snaps to a mate), there’s one thing Hitchcockian to the set-up right here – a pure style train, the place the stress can solely ratchet up. Main the movie is The White Lotus’ Meghann Fahy, whose Violet finds herself on the receiving finish of terrifying messages. Fingers crossed it marks one other horror journey from Landon, who has lengthy labored with Blumhouse – and got here to Drop after exiting Scream 7.
Can Violet discover her AirDrop attacker? Will Landon land one other hit? Are we turning off our AirDrop settings proper this very second? ‘In all probability’, ‘hopefully’, and ‘sure’, respectfully. Drop drops in UK cinemas from 11 April.
