Barry's Gift (2000) an Official Maryland Film Festival Selection. Barry's Gift tells the story of Barry Russell, played by Lance Irwin (Mowi of second season The Wire) a small time psychic who makes his living doing Tarot Card readings. When a dying, elderly tycoon (the late Richard Ruxton) offers Barry big money to try and bring him back after his demise and with the help of his assistant/girlfriend Wendy, Barry conjures up a showy spell to impress the son of the dead man. No one is more surprised than Barry when the antic really works and the dead millionaire rises up as good as new! With the help of a crafty PR agent, played by Francis Xavier, the film's director, his gift attracts attention and he begins repeating this miraculous feat. But whoops! Barry doesn't bother to learn how to return the souls to the bodies when resurrecting it. Before long the undead start a murderous rampage. It shines, if in a fairly heavy-handed manner.
