On this episode, I'm kicking of Women's History Month with a Women in Horror series of films to showcase female directors, final girls and female villains. Starting with the Zoe Kravitz directorial debut, Blink Twice (2024). When a waitress gets invited to a secluded island getaway by the billionaire of her dreams, it seems too good to be true. Even the most gorgeous paradise is filled with snakes, make no mistake about that. Also a heads up, this episode may be triggering as this film has scenes of SA and trauma against women.
