The Gift

I had first seen The Gift when it came out in theaters. (Apparently in 2000 -- I can't believe it was that long ago!).

I remembered liking it, and felt like a scary movie. It's fairly predictable, but very well acted. And, even knowing the ending I still got spooked. It has a star-studded cast: Kate Blanchett (as the psychic with a heart), Keanu Reeves (as the violent, ignorant, redneck), Hilary Swank (as his pathetic and abused wife), Giovanni Ribisi (as the town's crazy), and Katie Holmes (as the town's over-privileged slut).
