Presence (2025)

‘Presence’ is a Gimmicky, Undernourished Supernatural Thriller from Director Steven Soderbergh. The new movie, written by David Koepp sees a family haunted by a ghost, but from an intriguing perspective. Opening in theaters on January 24th, ‘Presence’ is the latest film from Steven Soderbergh, who seemingly never stops wanting to play with format and style, and usually to interesting effect.

While his new supernatural drama certainly has some elements to recommend it, what works about the movie does end up getting a little lost within his format-tinkering, the style somewhat overcoming the substance of the emotional, human story at its core.
