NEON has released the first teaser trailer for director Steven Soderbergh’s new film Presencea horror film that tells the story of a haunted house.
I saw this film at Sundance and it’s a truly unique take on a haunted house story. Presence centers on a family who moves into a seemingly quiet suburban home, only to be struck by the unnerving realization that they are not alone.
The film is shot entirely from the perspective of an invisible, otherworldly presence that lives in the house. We only see what the ghost sees, and he sees something sinister coming for this already dysfunctional family.
Soderbergh directed the film, so technically he plays the ghost in the story. Actor Chris Sullivan he said: “You walk into this movie and then you realize it’s Steven running up and down the stairs in his martial arts slippers, trying not to make any noise. It’s an incredible dance and a feat of camera management and direction, all at once.”
In my review of the film I said: “The film has an eerie atmosphere and Soderbergh’s masterful use of a single location creates a sense of claustrophobic dread. The haunting story unfolds with a sense of relentless tension, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.”
The film isn’t perfect because it has a confusing subplot, but it still works and is worth a watch for both horror lovers and Soderbergh fans.
Presence will be released in theaters in January 2025. The film also stars Lucia He, Callina Liang, Eddy Mady, West MulhollandAND Julia Fox.
