The Gift (2000)


MUST WATCH Sometimes when a film has a host of amazing actors they can be underused or forgotten, that is not the case here. Each actor makes even small roles standout and memorable without messing up the story. This film is atmospheric, beautiful, a little scary and a smidgen magical. I love it. It encompasses many genres without going off track from the main plot, which is a fortune teller or seer? helps to find the body of a missing woman in a backward small town, simple and smart. I'm a Sam Raimi fan but i know many who are not but loved this film, you may not even be able to guess he is the director apart from 'The Classic' car that is used in the majority of his films.Also written by Billy Bob Thornton who i wish would write more. Well worth your time.


Like This Watch These: Drag Me To Hell (2009) Much more pure horror Raimi goes back to his roots (ha ha) with this creepy gem, Sling Blade (1996) A sad yet beautiful story written, starring and directed by Billy Bob Thornton, Traffic (2000) Another all star cast where everyone and the story shine.
