10 Overlooked But Awesome Movies You Can Watch On Netflix Right Now

The Gift is very aptly titled - if you haven't seen it yet, you're in for one hell of a treat. It came and went during the summer of last year and despite drawing a positive critical response, it was a victim of its own marketing campaign, which conveyed the wrong message completely and led to a number of moviegoers feeling cheated.

Everything from the film's trailers to its posters to its production company - Blumhouse, creators of Insidious - indicated it was a horror, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It's certainly unnerving and tense, but it's not scary, and that likely disappointed a lot of moviegoers who expected more jump scares, gore and shocking twists.

But if you understand what you're getting into, then The Gift will reward you immensely. It's a taut, tight, well-directed thriller that doesn't pull any punches with its subject matter and never holds anything back. As the movie escalates and things get worse and worse for our protagonists, you'll feel genuinely uncomfortable, like you're watching something you shouldn't be privy to. As a result, The Gift - while not a horror - is far more effective than most horror flicks that get released.
