The recent horror-thriller Drop revolves around a woman, Violet (Meghann Fahy), who is terrorised by anonymous Airdrop messages threatening her family, and the culprit is eventually revealed to be Richard (Reed Diamond), a man who intends to assassinate her date Henry (Brandon Sklenar).

But then there's the matter of the masked henchman who assists Richard by heading to Violet's house and taking her son Toby (Jacob Robinson) and sister Jen (Violett Beane) hostage.

In the finale, Violet heads home to take on the henchman, who removes his ski mask in a manner that suggests the audience is supposed to recognise his face.

Except, he's the most generic-looking dude imaginable and resembles at least three other characters we meet during the film. As it turns out, the guy is actually the man who read Violet's electric meter at the very start of the film.

But because the guy was on screen for literally 10 seconds and had a completely unremarkable, unmemorable face, the big reveal at the end falls hilariously flat, ultimately leaving many totally confused.

Though spoonfeeding the audience is often a bad thing, in this case it actually would've been smart to show a quick flashback to the meter reading scene for the sake of clarity.
