It’s perhaps easy, as its doom gets to churning, to compare “Blink Twice” to its most obvious influence, Jordan Peele’s “Get Out.” There’s the general narrative structure that it hews to (guest to an isolated getaway soon finds things get weird), along with the creepy details it sometimes too blatantly cribs (the eerily soulless, nonwhite groundskeepers, the animal symbolism). But the directorial debut from Zoë Kravitz is influenced where it matters most, and takes what it borrows to tread its own ground: using a social thriller framework whose messaging cares less about being too aggressively incisive than being devilishly, disturbingly entertaining.
