Zoë Kravitz makes her feature directorial debut in Amazon MGM Studios’ wild new psychological thriller “Blink Twice. “The film’s ensemble cast includes BAFTA winner Naomi Ackie [“The End of the F***ing World,” “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody”]; Channing Tatum [“Fly Me to the Moon “; the “Magic Mike” films, “The Lost City”];Golden Globe winner Christian Slater [“Mr. Robot”], Simon Rex [“Red Rocket”]; Adria Arjona [“Andor”]; Kyle MacLachlan [“Fallout,” “The House with the Clock in Its Walls”]; with Oscar winner Geena Davis [“The Accidental Tourist”], and Alia Shawkat [“Drift,” “Search Party”].

Kravitz’s superbly twisted romance takes gender politics into a brutal combat zone.

The Blink Twice screenplay is by Zoe Kravitz & E.T. Feigenbaum [“High Fidelity”], with director of photography Adam Newport-Berra , production design by Roberto Bonelli on the creative team. The music is by Chanda Dancy [“Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody”]

A slickly efficient psychological thriller that turns gender politics into a full on, violent and wildly entertaining, sharp-witted genre movie that echoes the messaging of Jordan Peele’s Get Out with a hint of the skin crawling anxiety of Alex Garland’s Men.

Blink Twice is visually rich with well designed, toxic yellow touches introduced into the colour palette and masterly use of sound all adding to this enjoyable and stylish chiller.
