Dexerto awarded the film four stars in ourBlink Twice review, where we wrote that the story “poignantly interweaves a complex tale of abuse and manipulation while also exposing the way power dynamics and wealth can be dangerous pairings when in the wrong hands.”

Blink Twice is in cinemas now, so we’re going to talk aboutthatending. Meaning beware ofSPOILERSahead…

At the end of Blink Twice,Frida (Naomi Ackie) escapes from the islandon which she’s been drugged and assaulted, andends up using the same drug on her captor, Slater (Channing Tatum).

Frida initially heads to the remote island with best friend Jess (Ali Shawkat) to party with a billionaire and his buddies, but also because she’s hoping to hook up with said billionaire – handsome tech entrepreneur Slater King.

The women initially have a good time, with drink and drugs flowing freely, but soon fear something nefarious is happening behind their backs. And those fears are confirmed when they drink snake venom and see the truth.

This is truly horrific, as the women are being drugged via perfume, and they are abused and sexually assaulted while barely conscious. Their memories are then wiped by that same drug.

How Frida turns the tables on Slater King

Then it all kicks off. Jess is murdered by Slater and his fellow rapists when she wises up. While Slater justifies his actions by claiming that forgetting is a gift and that his new invention will help people to wipe trauma from their past.

But Frida isn’t sympathetic to his cause, especially when she realizes this isn’t her first trip to the island. So she teams up with the remaining women to fight back. A battle breaks out between abusers and victims, and barely anyone survives.

But Frida makes it off the island, and at a swanky party in the film’s final scene, we see that she has turned the tables by using the drug to control Slater, and is now running his company.

Thereprobably won’t be a Blink Twice 2. That ending does set up a potential sequel, in which Frida uses the drug in the real world, with Slater acting as her puppet.

But the climax feels more like a sting in the first film’s tail rather than setting wheels in motion for a sequel. And with no talk of a follow-up in the press at present, don’t expect Blink Thrice to happen.
