neutral · AI labelView post →In “Presence,” the director Steven Soderbergh finds his story by locking the monster behind the camera, writes David Sims. But the film is “less an entrée than a charming apéritif, albeit with a couple of smart twists worth ruminating on.”
neutral · AI labelView post →1917 was an early precursor, but with Nickel Boys, Presence, and Flow we are really seeing the cinematography of video games begin to influence film instead of the other way around.

Real solid haunted house flick; I like how Soderbergh's filming conceit for this means there are practically no close-ups. its a nice house too

neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah, I agree with all those points...and the mythos would've been pretty fun had it not been tied up with Highlander. On the other hand, having all these different cuts and different reactions to the cuts makes the film somehow even MORE cult. Like, this movie has A Presence 😂

I could write an essay on the themes explored but I’ll say this: grief is tangible and able to destroy or heal relationships. Ask me about my notes on the movie if you have a few hours.

neutral · AI labelView post →"Presence" is delivered in the same unorthodox manner as "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) with the significent difference here being the camera is not just recording what happens, the camera - and by association the audience - is now an active participant in the story and as such we are constantly treated to a succession of superbly photographed scenes with the camera smoothly gliding dream-like from one room to the next and eavesdropping on the unsuspecting Payne family. Of course, this…
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm having a hard time to give this movie more than 5 stars. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either, just an average movie. Sadly it wasn't scary at all. The only thing I loved about this movie were amazing soundtracks. Those soundtracks deserved better horror movie than this.
neutral · AI labelView post →Presence (2024) takes a unique approach to the haunted house genre, putting you in the perspective of the ghost itself. The story follows the Payne family as they move into a new home, each carrying their own personal struggles. Chloe, the daughter, is grieving the loss of her best friend, while her mother, Rebekah, is dealing with legal troubles that aren't fully explained. The film plays with the idea of an unseen presence observing their lives, but it never fully confirms whether the ghost…
