This isn't the new Alien movie, Naomi, so stop pretending that flower is a face hugger. — Handout
Appropriately for its title, Zoe Kravitz’s debut feature Blink Twice unfolds in its main character’s eyes, which are by turns wondering, astonished and utterly terrified. Frida (Naomi Ackie) is a cater-waiter who’s thrilled to catch the eye of tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) at a gala – and even more thrilled when he casually invites her and her friend Jess (Alia Shawkat) to join him and a handful of others on his private island for an exotic vacation.
The trip is, at first, a happy dream of luxury and lavish food and endless drinks, but the vibe is a bit odd, and Frida soon wonders aloud if something horrible is about to happen. Spoiler alert: It is.
Summary:
A stunning directorial debut
