Blink Twice

 

       Co-written and directed by Zoe Kravitz, this new "thriller" is easily forgotten (a pun if you see the film). What starts out as a fun filled, hedonistic trip soon turns into a nightmare for friends Frida (played by Naomi Ackie) and Jess (played by Alia Shawkat).

        A group of people are invited to Slater King's (played by Channing Tatum) private island where it becomes a daily ritual of drinking, drugs, and non-stop party time. Ominous clues start appearing and Frida begins to realize all is not right.

         The film turns ugly once Frida remembers the women have been drugged, tied up and raped every night with no memory of what's transpired. Once she remembers, Frida turns the tables and the film dissolves into bloody carnage.

         The film co-stars Christian Slater, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Liz Caribel, Levon Hawke, Trew Mullen, Geena Davis, and Kyle MacLachlan.

         While I try my best to not reveal plot points, I did in this case to forewarn anyone thinking of seeing this film. While it has a notable cast, it's premise is really nasty, and you should know what to expect going in. There is even a disclaimer at the start of the film.
