The new thriller “Blink Twice,” which opened in theaters on August 23, marks the directorial debut of Zoe Kravitz, who is otherwise best known for acting in projects like “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Big Little Lies” and “The Batman.” She does have a previous writing credit, though: she scripted an episode of her short-lived Hulu series “High Fidelity” with E.T. Feigenbaum, who also serves as Kravitz’s co-writer for this film. So how did she fare in her first at-bat as a filmmaker?

“Blink Twice” has a MetaCritic score of 72 based on 27 reviews counted as of this writing. Nineteen of those reviews are classified as positive, seven are somewhat mixed and only one is outright negative. On Rotten Tomatoes, where reviews are judged simply as positive or negative, the film has a freshness rating of 78%, with 72 out of 92 reviewers giving the film a thumbs up.

The debut Rotten Tomatoes score has been revealed for The Crow, the latest adaptation of the original comic book by James O'Barr. Featuring Bill Skarsgard and FKA twigs in the lead roles, the new adaptation was directed by Rupert Sanders.

Shortly after the embargo lift for The Crow, the film debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with a very low score of 6%. This number is likely to fluctuate a bit as more reviews continue to be submitted in the coming days, but with a rough debut score that's very close to rock bottom, it doesn't seem likely to climb much higher. The current score is a far cry from the one garnered by the original 1994 adaptation, which has an 86% approval rating along with a 90% audience score. An audience score hasn't yet been determined for the new version of The Crow, and there's a chance that it could be given a much higher number in comparison,...

The embargo has been lifted and the first reactions to this years reimagining of the beloved Gothic comic book movie The Crow have arrived. So, is the Bill Skarsgrd-led tale of resurrection and revenge worthy of both the source material and the cherished 1994 outing? Or is The Crow the comic book movie dud that many have been expecting?

Unfortunately for a movie already facing a lot of opposition, it seems that critics are not willing to give the movie a break and have made things even worse for The Crow's box office chances as the movie debuted with a 6% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes (at the time of writing). While there is still time for this to change - before the 16th review dropped the movie was sitting on 0%- the first reviews are pretty unanimous in their opinion that The Crow is destined to remain grounded.
