Blink Twice | Official Trailer

Zoë Kravitz makes a killer directing debut with “Blink Twice,” a ripped-from-the-headlines thriller with glimmers of “Get Out” and “The White Lotus.”

Gradually, a luxurious private island turns from a dream getaway to the seventh level of hell — albeit a netherworld with free-flowing Champagne and a pool.That secluded isle belongs to Slater King , a dapper entrepreneur with untold wealth and popular appeal. The women are the sort who, normally, would not venture off with a man they’ve never met to an undisclosed foreign land. But his money and power, they figure, provide an adequate enough background check. The well-heeled vacationers are a mix of Slater’s bro-y friends and associates. There’s blunt Vic , possessive Cody , hapless Tom and fresh-faced, naïve Lucas .

Their days, like those of many trips, are repetitive: wake up hungover, swim, fancy dinner, booze. Then the ladies, whose phones were confiscated upon arrival, begin to sense something is afoot.Something to note is that what starts as a light and laughy millennial gal-pal comedy — and there are jokes right till the end — becomes potentially difficult viewing for some. With billionaires, private islands and jets, you can probably guess the obvious parallel.

The wrap-up is strong — and violent — with one exciting twist. If there is a ding against the film it’s that it conjures memories of other movies and shows with mighty similar points of view and executions.
