"Before I got into this," Meghann Fahy told me, "I thought maybe I would study psychology and become a therapist." Now, in her star-making role in director Christopher Landon's ("Happy Death Day") twisty new thriller, "Drop," she's finally getting to try it on.
As Violet, a widowed therapist whose night out goes south when she starts receiving threatening demands for her to kill her date, Fahy is on-screen almost the entire film, running a gamut of flirty jitters, terrorized trauma and steely reserve. The New York Times recently called her standout performance "wickedly entertaining."
