Netflix thriller Drop reaches number one

The 2025 thriller Drop, directed by Christopher Landon, has reached the number one spot in the Netflix Top 10. The film follows Violet, a widow attempting to date again, whose evening is disrupted by anonymous, threatening messages sent from a short distance away.

The plot intensifies when the sender threatens Violet’s son and sister, forcing her to navigate a dangerous cat-and-mouse game while on a date at an exclusive Chicago restaurant. To save her family, Violet must follow increasingly perilous instructions from her stalker.

Critical reception has been mixed. The film holds an 83 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though it has a lower average of 6.1 on IMDb. Some critics have praised its Hitchcockian tension, while others have questioned the credibility of the plot twists.
