Director Christopher Landon saw Drop as an opportunity to make a style of film he felt a certain nostalgia for. "I wanted to make a sort of throwback to '90s thrillers and even further back to Hitchcock and De Palma, but with this very modern conceit at the center of it," He further adds "That was really appealing to me. This also felt like my chance to make a love letter to films like Red Eye. That's a movie I really love, and think is underappreciated. It is such a tight, contained thriller."

He also talks about the opportunity to work with the company again and says, "I think the reason I've had such a lasting relationship with Blumhouse, and specifically Jason, is the amount of creative freedom they give their filmmakers." a reason why the filmmakers keep going back to work with them. With a chilling premise, a stellar cast, and Christopher Landon's signature storytelling, Drop is set to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
