This time, he’s going for straightforward thrills and chills.

Blumhouse has revealed the official trailer for DROP, a co-production with Platinum Dunes that Universal releases to theaters April 11. Directed by Christopher Landon of FREAKY and the HAPPY DEATH DAY duo, from a script by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach, it stars Meghann Fahy, Brandon Sklenar, Jeffrey Self, Gabrielle Ryan Spring, Violett Beane and Jacob Robinson. According to the official synopsis, “Fahy stars as Violet, a widow whose return to the dating scene spirals into nightmare territory when anonymous threats start lighting up her phone. Her mission? Kill her dreamy dinner date Henry [Sklenar]–or her family pays the price.”
