'Presence' offers a fresh take on the haunted house genre, set in a modern suburban home with a thoughtful ghost rather than a vengeful spirit. Directed and shot by Steven Soderbergh, the film is unique in its perspective, presenting the story through the ghost’s eyes. It follows Rebecca and her family as they navigate emotional tensions, with the ghost adding a nuanced layer to their interactions. Soderbergh's style combines minimalism with depth, showcasing how family complexities emerge in a space shared with a curious spectre, challenging traditional horror conventions.
"Soderbergh is too playful a director to tie his films to auteur metaphors, but his minimalist style often reveals a depth of texture, drama, and commentary."
"The ghost's agile gaze is the center of attention for this paranormal drama, highlighting family dynamics through its roving camera perspective."
