How well do you know your spouse?

MANILA, Philippines - A heart-stopping, thought-provoking psychological thriller, The Gift, is from producers Jason Blum and Rebecca Yeldham (Insidious and Paranormal Activity) and actor, writer, producer and first-time director Joel Edgerton (The Great Gatsby, Zero Dark Thirty and Warrior) with co-stars Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall. The Gift opens benignly enough, focusing on a couple ostensibly at the apex of professional and personal success as they effortlessly climb the professional ladder and comfortably settles into their dream home, until a chance encounter with someone from the past.

In The Gift, Simon (Jason) and Robyn (Rebecca) are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon’s high school that sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Joel) at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts proves troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to questions: How well do we know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?

The Gift is now showing nationwide from OctoArts Films International.
