In Presence, a family moves into a suburban house and becomes convinced they are not alone. A supernatural force has infiltrated the house, and taken a specific interest in the couple’s daughter.
NEON distributes in the US.
Filmed in Park City and shot entirely in one location.
It’s said that the film is told “from the perspective of the spectral entity and is primarily interested in dramatizing the issues of the people living in the home, who seem to be grappling with a lot of interpersonal problems.” Steven Soderbergh was quoted saying: “I wanted to find a different way to tell the story. Everything is revealed through the glimpses of this family that this presence sees. And the whole ghost genre element is a Trojan horse to show a group of people in danger of falling apart.” (1/24/24)
