Horror drama - The Gift review by JD
Horror is not a respectable genre but Blanchett and Reaves can do anything with any genre. Their performances are stunning. Reaves character is utterly repugnant and hateful but somehow you admire him for playing it so well. Blanchett plays a witch/tarot card reader/heroine character so well it almost makes you side with the paranormal. Good punchy drama with a few horror bits but don't let that put you off.
