Blink Twice review: Channing Tatum is chillingly good as a disgraced tech billionaire who invites two waitresses to a holiday in hell, writes LARUSHKA IVAN-ZADEH By Larushka Ivan-zadeh Published: 23:43 EDT, 22 August 2024 | Updated: 23:43 EDT, 22 August 2024 e-mail View comments Blink Twice (15, 103 mins) Rating: Verdict: This decade’s Get Out Has Halloween come early this year? It appears so, judging by the unseasonal onslaught of scary movies hitting cinemas. And, if you’ve already survived Alien : Romulus and Trap, brace yourself for more summer darkness with a reboot of The Crow (out today; mercifully no advance press screenings), next week’s sci-fi horror AfrAId (likewise), plus British chiller Broken Bird, followed by folk horror Starve Acre and a Beetlejuice sequel that squeaks out just as school holidays end. After that, we’ll all need a lie down in a nice, dark crypt.
Today, two additional hair- raisers are unleashed. The better of them, Blink Twice, marks the directorial debut of actress Zoë Kravitz — best known as the daughter of music legend Lenny and for playing Catwoman . As such, Blink Twice had all the hallmarks of a ‘ nepo baby ’ plaything, yet confounded my (low) expectations by being genuinely good.
