The Gifted is an interesting blend of fantasy and sci-fi, with this unique premise about psychic descendants of the Dogon tribe. The atmosphere is a curious mix of mysticism and cosmic dread, fuelled by the struggle against a sinister alien presence. The pacing can be uneven at times, but it offers some intriguing ideas about legacy and power. Practical effects are a highlight, adding an old-school charm that complements the surreal narrative. Performances have a certain earnest quality, which really draws you into the characters' emotional stakes. It’s distinctive for how it intertwines African folklore with sci-fi tropes, creating a different vibe than most genre films of its time. Definitely worth a watch for those who appreciate the quirky side of '90s cinema.
