A disturbing psychological thriller, The Gift delivers some intense thrills. After moving back to his hometown with his wife, Simon Callum’s past comes back to haunt him when a former classmate from high school attempts to befriend him. Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, and Joel Edgerton lead the cast and give solid performances. But the pacing is rather slow, and the dark history between the characters is drawn out so long that it kind of loses some of its intrigue. Yet despite its weaknesses, The Gift is haunting and unsettling film.
