Blink Twice had a great premise but felt underdeveloped

I finally watched Blink Twice, and while the premise was strong, the execution felt lacking. I expected the camera to play a bigger role, as advertised in the still posters, maybe exploring themes like surveillance or voyeurism. Instead, it barely matters. It's hardly ever in Slater's hands, and his friend is the one constantly snapping photos, but the images have no deeper meaning or impact on the story. It felt like a wasted opportunity given its prominent feature in the marketing.

The movie ended up reminding me of a mix between Get Out and Antebellum, but without the depth or tension of the former.The concept of a flower that makes you forget and a snake whose venom makes you remember could have been fascinating, but the film never really explores it beyond the surface. It introduces these elements but does not do anything meaningful with them.

Not to mention, I can't see Channing Tatum as a creepy tech bro. He's more like gym bro action hero, not a bad guy.

Overall, I was not impressed. There was potential for something much more layered, but Blink Twice never digs deep enough to make any of its ideas land.
