Really good watch, i think some aspects were lost with the whole stalker scenario and it started to feel like you were watching someones everyday life. A little more from the stalker would of made it more thrilling. Ending had a great twist really left you guessing.

The sins of the past are going to catch up with you, whether you admit it or not! As a couple moves into a suburban home, a figure from the husbands past returns and integrates himself into the couples lives, with the wife suspecting that he has sinister intentions. A deeply tense and enticing thriller about unforgotten wrongs and the darker natures of human beings that manages to leave us breathless!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The violence is always emotional and psychological, not bloody and physical, which makes The Gift that much more disconcerting.

Flavorwire

It concludes with one of the most repugnant turns this side of a '60s-era exploitation "roughie," a "twist" so vile it pretty much cancels out the considerable skill and accomplishment of what's preceded it.

Jordy Reviews It

It may play as a standard stalker film in the beginning, it slowly evolves into something else. It’s sad, disturbing, and a fairly unpredictable film. The ending is abrupt, but it allows the viewer to make their own conclusion — which I quite liked.

Keith & the Movies

It certainly hits some of the normal genre ticks, but you almost sense that it’s doing it to set the audience up in order to pull the rug out from under them later on.

Rated: 4.5/5
