00:00Hello everyone, my name is Paul Branson, and I do many things, food reviews, movie reviews,

00:07and so, so, so much more.

00:09Well today, I'm doing a movie I didn't even know about.

00:12I had no clue about it.

00:13I saw the poster, and they said it was a horror movie.

00:17Well, when I looked it up, it said it was a thriller mystery movie.

00:21I say it's more of a thriller psychological movie.

00:24It's called Blink Twice.

00:27And the poster has, as you see in the back of me, a camera, a good old-fashioned Polaroid

00:33camera taking pictures.

00:36But this was what actually surprised me.

00:39I'm sitting in the theater, and I was tuned in right away, because I had no clue what

00:45was really going on.

00:47Right away it gets into character development.

00:49There's a woman watching a TV.

00:51Now this woman actress was in Rise of Skywalker, so I've only seen her once.

00:56She did do other movies, but I'd never really seen her in those movies.

01:00But now I'm going to really watch her, because this was a fantastic movie that she did.

01:06She was the star of the show.

01:08Also another actor was in this too, and I didn't really watch too many of him, too many

01:14of his movies either, but he did 21 Jump Street 1 and 2.

01:20And 21 Jump Street was a TV series with Johnny Depp in it.

01:24And when they went to do a TV movie, or not a TV movie, an actual movie, they had this

01:30actor in it.

01:32Now these two were the main stars, and they had some other actors in there too that I

01:35don't want to mention, because I kind of want you to be surprised.

01:39They did have Christian Slater in here, and this is for people my age.

01:43Christian Slater did a lot of movies, a lot of movies.

01:47Broken Arrow with John Travolta.

01:51He did Robin Hood with Kevin Cussner, called Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, and that was

01:56a great movie as well.

01:58So if you don't know who Christian Slater is, check him out, check out his movies, because

02:03he was in this, and it was nice to see him in this movie, because I just haven't seen

02:07it in a long time, or him in a long time, and he did some other great stuff.

02:13Now what the movie is about, this billionaire got in trouble.

02:17So he left his company, and gave it to someone else to look after while he went to a retreat.

02:23Well he more than went to a retreat, he went to an island, and then he came back and apologized.

02:29So this is what the woman is watching on TV.

02:32Now this woman is poor, she has nothing, she just has a job that she seems to get in trouble

02:38in.

02:39So here's the character development here, of a poor woman and her friend, that can barely

02:44pay rent.

02:46So now she goes to work, and she's getting chewed out at work, because this is a big

02:51gala, the billionaire will be there.

02:54Now while she's at the job doing it, her friend comes, and says, let's crash the party.

03:02So now, she leaves her job, puts on a dress, and the billionaire is now looking at her.

03:09But something else happened at the party.

03:14There was a lot of parties, and stuff like that, I'm trying to bite my tongue to make

03:20sure.

03:21Something happened at the party, but there was a connection between her and the billionaire.

03:27So now, the billionaire is inviting her and her friend to the island.

03:34Now right away there's reviewers going, why would you go with a perfectly good stranger

03:38to an island?

03:40Because he's a billionaire.

03:41They're saying, that just doesn't make sense to me.

03:43But she's like, why not?

03:45She had nothing there for her.

03:47She had nothing.

03:48She also had some trauma, stuff that happened to her in the past, that you find out a little

03:53later on, that I'm not really going to tell you about.

03:56But now she goes to this island, and all these women are there, and all these men are there,

04:02and they're just having a party, they're having fun all the time, but that's a little suspicious.

04:07Why are they partying?

04:09Why are they having fun all the time?

04:11There's other stuff that goes on.

04:12There's workers there doing other work and other things, but something odd is going on.

04:19Something odd.

04:20Now, the main guy who plays the billionaire, he's really good.

04:24He's like kind of creepy, kind of not, a partier, and then the men are acting a little strange,

04:31and they also have a camera taking pictures of everybody.

04:34So what's going on?

04:35Is it something about the island, or is it something about the men, or is it something

04:40about the workers?

04:41What is truly going on?

04:43So I found this to be a really good, intelligently done movie.

04:47I did find it to be a little bit too long.

04:50I would have maybe taken out ten minutes.

04:52But right now, as I'm thinking about it, maybe it was fine the way it was.

04:58Now the ending itself will be talked about for a long time.

05:02The ending is very, very good.

05:05Now all this being said, the creepy music suited it, the cinematography was incredible,

05:12the way it was edited.

05:13Now the director who did this, this is the first time she directed a movie.

05:17She was an actress and did some other movies, and I don't think I ever saw her act before.

05:21But man, she could direct.

05:23She also co-wrote it with somebody else, or she co-wrote it with her, I'm not sure exactly

05:28how that worked out.

05:29But there was two writers, and man, fantastic writing, fantastic script, fantastic dialogue.

05:38It kept you interested all the way around, especially the creepy music.

05:42Now it cost $20 million to make, 77 rotten tomatoes, and a 7 out of 10 on IMBD.

05:49Now it didn't make too much money at the box office.

05:51Deadpool and Wolverine is still killing it for this year of 2024.

05:56Now, there were people in the theater, and afterwards I was talking to them, and they

06:01enjoyed it too.

06:02They would give this movie 8 out of 10.

06:05I would give this movie a 9 out of 10.

06:08I really did enjoy it, but I did feel it was just a little tinch too long.

06:13But that's nothing.

06:14Like, I just didn't want it to drag, and I just felt it did.

06:18I felt that certain things just got to a point already, so it could have just been shorter.

06:24Other than that, I really enjoyed it, a 9 out of 10, you've got to see it, the ending

06:29would be talked about for years, $20 million to make, great actors, and some other surprise

06:35actors in here.

06:36I'm just not going to tell you.

06:38Bye for now, everyone, have an incredible day, thank you for watching, and check it

06:42out in the theater, because the Cinephotography deserves that, plus the music.

06:47Bye for now, and thank you for watching.
