Blink Twice (2024)



Released August 23rd in the US.
Filmed entirely in Mexico.
The story: A year ago, Slater King, a self-made millionaire and party boy, made a public apology for his "bad behavior", stating he would be taking a leave from his tech company while seeking therapeutic help. 
During a more recent interview, Slater tells all about what he has been up to during his time off, looking all the part of a new man.
Frida, a cocktail waitress working for a catering company sees Slater's interview and has great admiration for him.
Later that evening Frida and her roommate/best friend Jess are waitressing at a fundraiser/cocktail party Slater is giving.
Frida is in awe of Slater, spending every slow moment trying to get a glimpse of him.
When their work shift ends, Frida and Jess dress up and head out into the party.
When Frida falls, injuring herself in front of everyone at the party, Slater comes to her rescue.
The two become completely enamored with each other immediately, spending the whole night together until Slater is summonsed to go.
He, along with many friends will be taking a weeklong vacation on his private island.
Slater doesn't want to leave Frida's side, so he ends up coming back to invite Frida and Jess along.
They accept...and at first, everything is amazingly wonderful.
But as the days go by, and strange things begin to happen that no one seems to be able to remember, Frida gets worried that the vacation she's on isn't exactly a dream.
