Soderbergh's 'Presence' Uses Ghost's Perspective

Steven Soderbergh's film 'Presence' offers a novel take on the haunted-house genre by presenting the story from the perspective of the ghost, immersing the audience in a unique viewing experience. The film stars Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan as part of a dysfunctional family moving into a new home, unaware of the spectral presence within. Critics highlight the film's innovative approach, noting that the ghost's perspective adds depth to the narrative, making it more than just a gimmick. Despite some script issues, 'Presence' successfully explores themes of familial dysfunction and personal grief, drawing comparisons to the 'Paranormal Activity' series with its found-footage style. Soderbergh, known for pushing cinematic boundaries, continues his exploration of unconventional storytelling, with 'Presence' being praised as a poignant and chilling addition to his filmography.
