Our take
Drop is a PG-13 Blumhouse thriller about a single mother terrorized by anonymous messages during a first date while her son and sister are held hostage. Violence includes gun threats, stabbings, and assaults on women, plus a depicted suicide and dialogue about domestic abuse. Language includes one f-word and sexual references. Best for teens who handle home-invasion suspense
Uplifting themes
Courage and protecting family under impossible odds are central The lead uses calm problem-solving while fighting for her child
