Presence attempts to deliver a sophisticated ghost story but falls short due to its tedious minimalism and lack of suspense. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, the film features a middle-aged couple and their two children who move into a charming yet eerie hundred-year-old suburban home. The concept of the story, told from the perspective of an unseen spirit, had potential; however, Soderbergh's stylistic choices quickly become stale, and the character dynamics fail to resonate. Overall, Presence is a letdown, especially given the director’s acclaimed reputation.
Presence, directed by Steven Soderbergh, disappointingly fails to deliver suspense or scares as it attempts to be an arthouse ghost story.
The film's premise of a haunted house and voyeuristic perspective is intriguing, but the execution falters with tedious minimalism and lack of engagement.
