(ESP-ENG) Drop | Anonymous threats - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.

The people at Blumhouse are specialists in making films with a high level of suspense, intrigue, tension and mystery, in fact I would say that those are their signatures. This time they bring us a film that if anything has the ability to keep the expectation to the limit, it is a story that may be super cliché, because we have seen similar things, but still does not leave anyone indifferent and is that the viewer can be part of the plot trying to decipher who is the person behind everything that is happening. The story is very simple but extremely effective, I think it fulfills the intention of keeping you sitting watching it.
We start with Violet (Meghann Fahy), a widowed mother who alone is living with her son and having a normal but lonely life in terms of relationships or at least that is what is understood. This is because of a terrible experience she had with her ex-partner which you will learn about by watching the film. One day she decides to try to start turning things around and agrees to go on a first date after a long time. Once at the restaurant she begins to experience a strange “game” and out of nowhere she starts receiving anonymous messages. At first she doesn't think anything of it until they become darker and more disturbing.
The only thing I can tell you is Violet's date is not the person in question so he becomes part of the plot as he tries to help her resolve the situation. There comes a point where the messages intensify to the point of becoming personal as her son, who is at home, is threatened. From this point on, a game of absolute control begins; this anonymous person, who is in the same restaurant as her, sees and hears everything she does and says, so she has no escape. The plot is about this, about how she, in order to keep the date alive, tries to hide from him at times what is really going on.
As I said the tension is what predominates, always being in expectation of what can happen and what will be the next move of both this anonymous and Violet. It also helps that one seeks to deduce who might be behind everything and that ends up being entertaining. As a thriller it works but beyond being scary, what it generates is anguish because being threatened by someone is already terrible but if you add the fact that this person is just a few meters away from you, it adds an extra burden of anxiety. The film lasts an hour and a half, perfect time because it is neither long nor boring, you see them very fast in fact.
One good thing it has is a couple of plot twists or plot twists that I honestly didn't expect to happen. This happens towards the end of the film which is the moment when the film enters its peak and high moments, that's when what little action there is comes to light. We don't see big scenes by any means, I don't think we need to given the nature of the plot. The performances are quite good, Meghann embroiders it very well, all spectrums in terms of genres are addressed without problems. The rest of the characters are very much in the average line.
In the end, this is a movie to watch with some popcorn without expecting anything extraordinary from it. It does its job to entertain, to keep you on your toes, sitting in front of the screen and with some decent moments of tension. I give it a 7.5/10. Blumhouse delivered again, they rarely fail with their movies. I leave the trailer below.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!
He tenido ganas de ver esta película. Bueno, terminarla porque empecé a verla pero ya era tarde y me estaba quedando dormida y como no quería perderme nada la dejé. Pero hasta ese momento estaba muy interesante.
Si lo es, por lo menos la tensión la mantiene hasta el final. No es una obra de arte pero para entretener está más que bien.
Un film interesante, las buenas películas generan diferentes emociones, allí existe un trabajo colaborativo entre actores y director.
Así es. Gracias por leer!
Love me a good mystery movies and this did not disappoint.
