The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Gift (2015)

Starring: Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, Joel Edgerton
Director: Joel Edgerton

Premise:
A man runs into an old schoolmate who tries to force his way into a new friendship. As the schoolmate starts to cross boundaries the truth of their relationship is revealed.

My Take:
This is one smart movie which kept this viewer on his toes throughout. Plus it packs one hell of a punch at the end after building up a great amount of tension. Great to see Jason Bateman play a different role too and he does it convincingly.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD
