The second and third ones are kind of middling (both literally and figuratively, but certainly watchable), but the fourth one is the best of the quadrilogy they've made so far. Injects a fresh energy into things after II and III tread water a bit.

ODDITY, a new movie on VOD from the U.K./Ireland, is very good. Clever, old-school genre storytelling that is executed very effectively. If you're a fan of any of the British horror anthology films from the 1970s, this very much feels in that world.
And it has one particularly tremendous jump scare.

Well, I saw Blink Twice yesterday. What a disappointment. Ironic that a film about forgetting ends up being forgettable. The cast is stacked with talented actors, but every single person is given nothing to do and essentially zero character. It’s nice to see Channing Tatum play against type for a change, and he’s likely the best one here, but it’s not enough to save the film. Blink Twice has some fun with colors. There’s a good deal of yellow and a lot of reds.
While this wants to be a horror comedy, it’s rarely funny and never scary. It is incredibly dark and mean, though. It doesn’t have much to say that hasn’t been said in better films or in more interesting/novel/unique ways. The one kind-of new thing it brings to the table is the theme of forgetting vs forgiving. I also like that it deals with the question of if change is ever really possible.
I commend Zöe Kravitz for trying her hand at directing and writing (with E.T. Feigenbaum credited as co-writer), but she just does not have the sauce. Nice try, though. Unfortunately, Blink Twice is dull and uninteresting. There are very few surprises here, and the opening trigger warning basically gives away the whole game before the film even starts. Forgetting is a gift, just be grateful this film isn’t one you’ll be likely to remember in T-minus a year (or less).
1.5 STARS
