The trailer for "DROP" begins with an unsettling stillness—a perfectly framed shot of a quiet suburban street bathed in the cold, clinical light of a dying sunset. It lingers just long enough to make the scene feel wrong. The silence is heavy, broken only by the distant, muffled sound of a child’s laughter. But something about the laugh feels… off. There’s a faint distortion, a crackling undertone, like an old cassette tape warped by time. The laughter fades, replaced by the slow, deliberate creak of a door opening.
The camera cuts inside: a dinner table, pristine and unnervingly symmetrical. Plates and forks are aligned with almost surgical precision. A Couple sits together, motionless, their faces unnaturally serene, as if they’ve been posed. The Mother’s hand hovers above her glass of wine, frozen mid-reach.
The camera cuts back to the helpless couple at the dinner table, but this time, something has changed. The mother’s glass of wine is shattered, crimson liquid pooling across the table like blood. The mother’s smile has twisted into something grotesque, her teeth too sharp, too many. The child is no longer seated. The chair rocks gently, empty, as the sound of soft, uneven footsteps echoes from somewhere just out of view of your... security camera.
