The problem with most modern horror and thrillers?
They dont take technology seriously.
Universal Pictures
So many problems could be solved with our phones.
But what if its thephonethats the problem?
Thats the question new thrillerDropasks.
What if youre out to dinner and get a drop to your phone from some random?
And the drops get more and more sinister with every ping of your phone.
But does all this tech-themed intrigue make for a good movie?
Universal Pictures
For the most part, yes, but with one key problem.
What isDropabout?
And Henry, her date, certainly seems awesome.
Universal Pictures
(And handsome, lets be real.)
At first its nothing alarming.
Theyre the memes youd see on Facebook, including Brittany Broskis kombucha meme.
Universal Pictures
Soon, she has to keep the messages to herself.
How will she get out of this mess?
What works?
Also, shoutout to Meghann Fahy, who plays Violet.
She did a great job arresting my attention.
WhatsDropsfatal flaw?
(Empire RecordsandThe Breakfast Club, for example.)
Rather, I thinkDropsshallow depth could be attributed to a larger problem in filmmaking in general right now.
IsDropseasy-to-follow, shallow storyline a result of the publics lack of attention?
Maybe, but that doesnt make it hate the idea any less.
