Blink Twice If You Wanna Get Off Pussy Island

If we’ve learned anything from cinema these past few years, it’s this: Do not vacation at a rich person’s home. In Bodies Bodies Bodies, a cute little wilderness bender among friends devolves into a hilarious and horrific crime scene. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery sees a cadre of absurd characters descend on a tech scion’s private island to blow off some steam, only for cartoonishly southern Daniel Craig to solve a murder. Now, there’s a combination hitting screens, with Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice, in theaters August 23. (The film, which Kravitz co-wrote with E.T. Feigenbaum, was previously named Pussy Island, presumably after the body part and a rich person’s ultimate trophy.)

“So … everybody’s dead,” Kravitz’s muse, Channing Tatum, opens the trailer. “How about we start at the beginning?” He plays a creepy tech billionaire who’s luxuriating in the popularity his money probably bought him. When he invites two normies (Naomi Ackie and Alia Shawkat) to his private-island getaway, joined by his cast of oblivious buddies, the entourage begins to suspect something is amuck. “Everybody’s smiling and laughing like 1960s flight attendants,” Ackie says. It soon devolves into mind-boggling chaos. Her friend goes missing, guests are tweaking, and someone’s head is bashed in with a rock. You heard it here. Watching movies will save your life.
