Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Gift (2015)

Simon and Robyn are just getting set up in their new home when they run into an old classmate of Simon's. Before they know it, Gordo is showing up to their house uninvited and with gifts in hand. They feel somewhat forced into a friendship with him, even though he makes them uneasy. When Simon finally decides to break off the relationship, odd things begin happening around the house. Is it retaliation or just coincidence?

This is a solid thriller with a somewhat predictable twist. Worth the watch if you're in the mood for mild scares and enjoy a good dose of comeuppance.
