Sam Raimi’s star-studded thriller THE GIFT streaming exclusively on ARROW
A small-town psychic uncovers dark secrets in this star-studded thriller from director Sam Raimi
THE GIFT
In January, exclusively streaming on ARROW in the UK, a late present in the form of The Gift where director Sam Raimi combines the spooky underpinnings of his early work with his newly proven talent for handling powerful drama in a gripping supernatural thriller.
Raimi coaxes nuanced performances from a star-studded cast that includes Cate Blanchett, Greg Kinnear, Katie Holmes, Keanu Reeves and Hilary Swank – bringing a superb script by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson (One False Move) to life.
Made right before a certain web-slinger finally catapulted Raimi from the cult fringes onto Hollywood’s A-list, The Gift is an underappreciated but vital entry in his filmography that is ripe for reappraisal, and you can see it on ARROW.

SYNOPSIS: In rural Georgia, recently widowed psychic Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett) works as a tarot reader to support her young family. When she is introduced to her son’s affable school principal (Greg Kinnear) and his socialite fiancée (Katie Holmes), Annie has a grisly premonition of things yet to come. After her violent vision comes true, all eyes turn to Annie, leaving her with no choice but to use her clairvoyant abilities to find the culprit herself. Could it be the abusive husband (Keanu Reeves) of one of Annie’s regular clients (Hilary Swank)? Or the nervy mechanic (Giovanni Ribisi) whose yearning for friendship masks an uncontrollable rage? Or is another terrible secret hiding in plain sight?
The Gift is available to stream on ARROW and on Limited Edition 4K UHD and Blu-ray from 27th January. Find the full length January press release including all synopses and more HERE.
