The Gift (2000, Dir. Sam Raimi) When Jessica King goes missing, all eyes turn to Annabelle Wilson. Not as a murder suspect, but as a clairvoyant. Many of the towns folk go to Annabelle for help, and Jessica's fiancée, Wayne Collins turn to Annabelle for possible guidance. Annabelle feels that she can't help, but this doesn't stop her from constantly getting visions of Jessica's fate.
I don't have a great knowledge of Sam Raimi's films, outside of the 'Spider-Man' series, so i was interested to see what this film could offer. Especially with stars, such as Cate Blanchett, Greg Kinnear and Giovanni Ribisi. What i found to be watching was a good thriller, which i actually enjoyed. The film is your usual 'who dunnit?' film, but this didn't stopped me from enjoying the characters portrayed. Everyone has a different personality, with some being excellent and some being acceptable. It can start to becoming obvious when you get about 40 minutes into the film. I had already worked out who was the likeliest suspect before i had even reached this point of the film. I wouldn't blame this on this film, but more on the fact that a lot of mystery movies have gone through the same approach. Still, i really enjoyed myself and you should too.
