Presence

 

        A typical Wednesday night, just having one of those days where I must make sure, I have a place to live and more importantly not overreacting about having to research other new things in this decade, because holy crap apps at fast food places drive me bonkers. Anyway, getting back to the point and the point is having spent a stress filled day, and my brother propose to watch a movie directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean's Eleven and Haywire) moreover written by David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Spider-Man), for which after watching this film, I praise the film for its experimental shots as well as an intriguing story.

        A family becomes convinced they are not alone after moving into their new home in the suburbs. Moreover, the family has a massive dysfunctionality written all over their faces though let’s face it makes for a great story. 

        I've already seen this movie twice now and granted this film came out two years ago, but yet at the same time this is hands down one of the greatest movies I've ever seen, and yet what sticks to me more is the fact that Steven Soderbergh all he did was use just regular mirrorless or DSLR camera's that local videographer's use for their wedding's or news coverages as well as a stabilizer for these camera's and really made something out of it almost the same as using wide angle lenses for the fight scenes in Haywire another great movie out of Soderbergh's filmography that I actually like but these film together in what they have in common, is that they're both experimental in their own way but exceptionally great though doubt anyone is going to appreciate them for what they are. The other amazing thing and this is coming from me, is that Soderbergh actually used nylon rubber slippers for the staircase scenes and I always wondered after my first two times viewing the film never understood how he was able to pull those off without any foot sounds and now having heard about this fact I actually want to buy me some rubber slippers just to try it out. Sure this film cost a grand total of 2 million dollars to make but in all fairness majority of that money went to Lucy Liu, who actually does a great job in the movie playing the difficult mother, but a lot of the credit goes to Callina Liang who does a superb job playing the outsider in the family that's a bit of rebellious but also relatable, moreover does an excellent job playing the main protagonist that begins to sense things through the rest of the movie. Now for sure this film does have all the elements of a typical Poltergeist movie or The Haunting, where you have a typical dysfunctional family always bickering, two out of the two members don't believe in the supernatural and deep down you'll have the feeling of when you see one Haunted movie you've seen them all, but with this movie it has the refreshing feel of something new and different that I love about the film. I'm not going to spoil any details about the film because again this is hands down one of the greatest movies I've seen in this entire decade so, far and I would highly recommend anyone watching this film because again this is a limited budget and experimental in every way that has a great feel that just makes this film great in my opinion. Either way this film is amazing, and I love every minute of it, and look at if you have Hulu or Disney Plus bundle then I would tell you all, to STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND JUST SIT DOWN AND WATCH PRESENCE RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE! And there is all I have to say before I go on and on about how great this film is.
