An exciting new entry into the psychological thriller genre, Blink Twice, directed by Zoë Kravitz, is slated to land in UK cinemas on 23rd August 2024. The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Christian Slater and Geena Davis, promising to deliver a gripping cinematic experience. 

Blink Twice spins a tale of intrigue and mystery when tech billionaire Slater King, portrayed by Tatum, crosses paths with cocktail waitress Frida, played by Ackie, at a fundraising gala.
