When most supernatural thrillers rely on jump scares and loud sound cues, “Presence” does something a little different by building a real sense of dread. Directed by Steven Soderbergh, this eerie, inventive movie just landed on Hulu, and I genuinely haven’t stopped thinking about it.
I missed “Presence” during its theatrical run earlier this year, but I finally caught it on streaming. And I soon realized this isn’t your typical haunted house story. It’s told entirely from the perspective of an unseen spirit, making it feel intimate and claustrophobic in the best way, as you watch a fractured family slowly unravel under the gaze of something they can’t see but might be able to feel.
