The Gift That Keeps On Giving

The Gift- is a unique psychological horror film directed by Joel Edgerton. This is Joel's directoral debut and he did a excellent job. Joel also produced it, wrote it and acted in it. I love the psychological espect of this film, and also the twist and turns throught it until the very end of the film.

The plot: When married couple Simon (Jason Bateman) and Robyn (Rebecca Hall) unexpectedly encounter Gordo (Joel Edgerton), an acquaintance from Simon's past, little do they know that their perfect lives will be thrown into a terrifying tailspin. At first, Simon doesn't recognize Gordo, but after a troubling series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts, a horrifying secret emerges. As Robyn learns what really happened between Simon and Gordo, she begins to question how well she knows her spouse.

The Gift is a excellent psychological horror film with twist and turns throught it.

Thought there might be more psychological theories in it, but got involved into a conversation about religion and God, whether he exists or not, and I am not a person that enjoys those kind of reads, I suppose. Nice book, but definitely not for me.

I Am Mother does enjoy a deviation from the average film that Netflix puts out. Central to this difference is the inclusion of a real psychological and moral dilemma that it presents.

Book Favorite

"I just finished The Wayward Bus by John Steinbeck. A deep, dark psychological story about strangers stranded after a bus breaks down at a mid-California lunchroom. My favorite element is the way there is no 'main character' and everyone's inner dialogue is explored"
