The Gift (2015)
A budget Fincher thriller.
Conclusion:
An attempt at the subversion of Fincher films solely resting on a punchline that may or may not hit. Kinda reminiscent to Gone Girl in tone but less masterfully executed. Still quite creepy and may still scare you into questioning how many enemies you've made.
