Theatrical release: January 19, 2001. The film was shot on location in Savannah, Springfield, and Thunderbolt, Georgia. The character of Annie Wilson is loosely based on screenwriter Thornton's own mother. Cate Blanchett visited five psychics as research for the role. Executive producer Rob Tapert got his start producing Raimi's first film, THE EVIL DEAD (1982). He is also an executive producer, with Raimi, of the popular syndicated TV series, XENA, WARRIOR PRINCESS, and is married to the show's star, actress Lucy Lawless. Actor Gary Cole (David Duncan) also starred on the TV series AMERICAN GOTHIC, which was executive produced by Raimi. Editor Bob Murawski began his film career as an assistant editor on Raimi's DARKMAN (1990). A stunt double was used in the scene where Jessica King's body is pulled from the water.

Gift Quotes/Excerpts:

"What's the matter? You see somethin' bad?"--the doomed Jessica King (Katie Holmes) skeptically questions a stricken Annie (Cate Blanchett) about her vision.

Gift Reviews:

"...Reeves brings off a dashing piece of physical sleight-of-hand....[The] film is elegant, solidly played and frequently gripping..."-- Xan Brooks, Sight and Sound

"...The movie is ingenious in its plotting, colorful in its characters, taut in its direction and fortunate in possessing Cate Blanchett..." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"...[A] deeply spooky gothic shocker..." -- Bruce Fretts, Entertainment Weekly

"...[Like A SIMPLE PLAN, director Sam Raimi's film is] an absorbing portrayal of a serious crime committed in a small town..." -- Mike Clark, USA Today

"...[Ms. Blanchett's] spectral intensity dominates THE GIFT....Mr. Reeves [gives] his best bad-guy performance to date....Mr. Raimi has not forgotten the tricks of his gory erstwhile trade..." -- A. O. Scott, New York Times   Hide Description

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars The Gift... The Talent....Amazing!
This film blew me away! This was the first time I'd ever seen it and I was floored! it was eerily spooky without being campy and the entire film was full of a haunting charm. Although, my favorite actor is Keanu Reeves, who did an excellent job portraying a wife beating adulterer(maybe too good)my congrats go out to Giovanni Ribisi as "Buddy Cole". A truly believeable character who really makes you care for him. Kudos to everyone involved in and with this film! BRAVO!!!! A must-see!
