Dies und das:

After Sam Raimi was hired as the director of Spider-Man (2002), the schedule for post production of this film conflicted with his prospective work on the other movie. In the end the two studios agreed to give Raimi more time to complete post production on this film so he could work on both films simultaneously.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: Buddy Cole throws gasoline over his father's entire body, but only his legs burn.

Dialogzitate:

[first lines]
Annie: Oh, thank you for the peaches.

Annie: So how you been?
Tommy Lee Ballard: Oh, pretty good, I reckon.

Tommy Lee Ballard: Ma'am?
Annie: Have you been sick.
Tommy Lee Ballard: Back's been hurting a little.
Annie: No, no, it's not your back. You been bleeding somewhere?

Raimi's best since Darkman

The Gift is a film about sex and murder in a small town. Sam Raimi camera angles and visual flair are beautiful. The Gift makes up for his previous flop For Love Of The Game. Cate Blanchett is great in the lead role as are Keanu Reeves, Hilary Swank and Katie Holmes who has a greta nude scene. Rent this film for a great night of chills and a film that will keep you guessing.
