What critics compared The Gift to
Shepard takes a call at the phone booth, where he places a call to his girlfriend, Pamela McFadden (Katie Holmes of "The Gift") every day.
Probably sensing that, the filmmakers then bring in a cop -- Forest Whitaker ("Panic Room," "Light It Up") - who assumes the role of negotiator, as well as the protagonist's wife and paramour -- Radha Mitchell ("Pitch Black," "High Art") and Katie Holmes ("Abandon," "The Gift") respectively.
Moreover it’s cruel to no end, ripping a particularly disgusting page from the playbook of last year’s much better “ The Gift .”
Send Help feels closer in spirit to his mystical whodunnit from 2000, The Gift, than to chainsaws and boomsticks.
…the gentle creepiness of The Gift Sam Raimi…
