Presence (2025) Movie Review + SPOILERS

[@MartyGrayston]

As someone who is also grieving, I just hated how awful all the characters were to the lead who was going through it. It was like a lot of the message was lost in that for me. Grief is so unbearably lonely in itself, but this film made me SO grateful for those in my life who care, are present, and aren't just like "it's been a minute, i tried, they just need time".

[@KikiMeowKitty]

The mom was an awful woman !

[@MartyGrayston]

@@KikiMeowKitty They all are in their own way, because they don't know how to support Chloe in her grief. The dad constantly tries to overcompensate for the fact his daughter is grieving. The brother pulls the 'weird' card on her constantly because he doesn't understand her grief, and then yes the mum is particularly awful because she is focusing all her energy on the 'successful' kid who isn't suffering. You're right though, of all of them, she is truly awful.

[@KikiMeowKitty]

@MartyGrayston yeah exactly, and even though the dad may not know how to help at least he shows her he cares and you can tell Chloe loves him and appreciates him.

[@Moondoor775]

​@@KikiMeowKitty totally agree!

[@TheReelValue]

Same, the mom was so mean. And what was she into?!

[@kfitz387]

Loved the segment on how your reviews are subjective, that’s how it should be! Too many reviewers are afraid to talk about how a movie affected them and only focus on the technical side of things. When a movie clicks for you more than others due to something going on in your life, that’s the magic of cinema baby

[@mirheitz81]

I got to watch this in an empty theater and I really enjoyed it. I liked that it was so unique.

[@salmonsdontdie4952]

Same! Just me and the screen lol

[@desertpinevintage]

I love an empty theatre! I just watched wolfman today and had it all to myself. I think it made the movie experience a touch better.

[@TheCoolNinjaReport]

Right?! It was fun to watch this unfold all alone and wonder wtf is going on!? I ended up loving the film

[@brismart2598]

you are sooo right about films affecting you differently based on what you're currently going through. i was going through a lot surrounding my dad when i first watched insidious: the red door, which resulted in me sobbing and feeling so moved and affected by it, and i don't think ill watch that movie again any time soon. if a film can move me and ignite heavy feelings, i will rate it higher too lol

[@MiravelleYT]

I watched this movie yesterday and it made me cry even explaining the movie to others. I love it so much, it really hit the spot for me.

[@missyissy16]

SAME, made me very emotional

[@deanchaudhri8781]

spoilers: i interpreted it as the ghost being someone that died in the house previosuly just being thrown into the family situation and then when the brother died he became a ghost that also haunts the house/takes the place of the ghost, but the brother being the ghost all along also makes sense !

[@ariz347]

I viewed it this way too until the scene where the medium comes into the house and explains that the spirit didn’t know what their purpose was and was trying to figure themselves out because their spirit was around before they even died. Then I thought that it might be Chloe until we got the reveal

[@CuJoProductions2492]

I've seen this movie twice already. I can say that a 2nd viewing definitely helps with trying to understand how certain things line up. I personally really liked this movie, but also don't really think it's one that NEEDS to be seen in the theater. Overall a very enjoyable film, though and I look forward to adding it to my blu-ray collection when it eventually hits shelves 👍

[@megang6948]

I cried when it ended, I cried talking about it with friends, I’m crying thinking about it again now.

[@RJJJJay]

My friend and I went back through the scenes because we didn’t understand certain things, but we ultimately came to the same conclusion that Tyler (the brother) was the ghost the whole time. The psychic mentions how the ghost is there to prevent something but didn’t know what and that it can pop into the past and present. We figured the events of this played out similarly but maybe Chloe is actually killed and Tyler woke up too late, runs upstairs, catches Ryan and they both fall out of the window and die. Ghost Tyler is back in the house before he and his family move in and he wakes himself up quicker to save his sister. There’s the attempt Ryan initially makes to drug Chloe and Ghost Tyler knocks the glass over but doesn’t intervene when it’s done to himself. There’s the other scene where Tyler is telling that story to his family about pranking the girl Simone and he’s very proud of his actions, so Ghost Tyler goes upstairs and rage destroys his room knocking over all of his trophies and what not because he’s disgusted by himself. That’s what we came up with. Also, yes, the sex scene where Ghost Tyler looks away and also the realtor had no previous deaths in the home to disclose because “technically” one hadn’t happened yet. Very puzzling movie once the credits rolled but the discussion afterwards was fun. I’m sure watching a second time would help too.

[@tomleonard830]

I don't think he went back to change anything. I think it is a causal loop and he as a presence was always there. The presence tries to change things, but ultimately just plays the part he was fated to play. And I agree He definitely is disgusted by his actions.

[@lavender3717]

This film was so moving to me, gave me big Lake Mungo vibes

[@mattmcnamee126]

Love lake mungo. Is presence streaming right now?

[@missyissy16]

Girl, I cried in my car after this one too. ❤️❤️❤️ That ending was a gut punch for me.

[@esoteric76]

Thank you so much for reviewing this and giving it some much needed attention! Really LOVED this one, the "ghost POV" definitely worked on me! Thought the actors did a brilliant job with some very tricky camera work, and the way the story went darker and darker really surprised me! The film looked amazing on a big screen -- definitely recommend! (Sorry you had to deal with those annoying teens at your showing) LOL

[@Myka222]

I just wanted to say that as long as you want to talk about your grief it is absolutely okay and not something that’s annoying to hear about at all (atleast for me personally). I lost my dad four years ago and I still have certain nasty people say I should be over it. People like you who talk about it and are so honest and open to how it plays into your life and your viewing experiences reminds me that I’m not the only one and that it’s okay. Talking about the people we lost and how we love and miss them is what keeps their memory alive and I find that so so beautiful. I hope that as long as you want to talk about it you do, but whenever you don’t want to it’s absolutely okay 🫶🏼

[@sillyahh4706]

I watched this 3 hours after receiving news my granfather had passed away, Lucy Liu’s scream at the end had me inconsolable, what a heartbreaking movie i gave this a 9/10 my bf gave it a 10/10, i was so tense watching the brother run up the stairs, what a truly beautiful film though.

[@clairebleh1756]

I’m seeing this movie in a few hours! I’ll come back to watch your video 😊 Edit: I LOVED it! Because of how the film is shot, I think me watching it in D-Box was definitely worth it and made the experience. The family drama also hit home for me and I was crying at the end. Shout out to the mom, her acting was great! Had me reliving trauma in the theater lmao Love seeing single-shot scenes, makes me really appreciate the movie a lot more and all the work the cast & crew go through for it

[@jpmadds]

You mention that this would have been a beginner movie until it got dark. I would love to see a tier list of beginner vs. "horror expert" movies. Like seeing the different levels "spiciness" of some horror movies

[@BlantonLeigh]

I lost my dad four years ago, and this film also deeply affected my as well, so I completely understand where you are coming from. I loved it, one of my favorites already, I too hope to gain respite with companion, it’s gonna be a while before I rewatch presence. When I saw you watched it on Letterboxd I was very much looking forward to this review and I loved your review of this!!

[@quinncor]

I’m excited for you to see companion! I saw it as a surprise screening and had so much fun with it

[@BrujaBanter]

Been waiting for your thoughts on this one!! I loved it, I think even more after I reflected on some of the earlier scenes and what they imply about the ghost reflecting on its own behavior. 4 stars for me, so you're definitely not alone in liking it! I also double-featured this one (Regal Unlimited babyyy!) with Wolf Man because of your review (was going to skip it otherwise, at least in theaters) and ended up liking that one too!

[@qanielflores]

literally just watched this yesterday out of the whim with a group of friends for my birthday. We went into the movie blind and left so confused afterwards 😂

[@moviefiendz]

The movie only made 3.3 million in its first weekend on a budget of 2. See it in theatres if you want more cool low budget horror flicks like it

[@catrinag.9262]

The scenes you showed here almost feels like found footage and it gives the sense of being a fly on the wall listening in so to speak. I'm down for this so I'm going to watch it but I do think I'll wait till it comes to streaming.

[@aaaustinnn]

Spoilers: I know Lucy Liu’s boy mom thing is weird, but I have to wonder in retrospect if it’s because she knew deep down somehow that she was going to lose her son so young. Even the psychic said something about her being in denial, I think?

[@nikkilev78]

Loved it. Am I alone in loving how it was shot and the acting? I loved both, especially Chloe and the Dad. I loved the way it started too I thought the POV was so creepy until it wasn't (purposely). Also loved the realtor, she was so Julia! (IYKYK) As you say, liking something is personal but I do think folks hating on this movie are being a bit unchairitable to an interesting and well made movie. My friend I saw the movie with and I were discussing it throughout the rest of the night which is always a good sign. Finally, we saw it in a small "Livingroom Theaters" type theater with all adults, mostly femme's and this was an excellent group of people to share the experience with, so I'm sorry for your bratty teenager experience!

[@steely10]

SPOILERS: Wait, the ghost is not Nadia? She warned the brother. The brother becomes a ghost himself after he dies on the pavement, is then seen in the mirror. Which has capability of containing spirits. The ghost looked away during sex because she was charmed and fooled by the killer herself. That's how I saw it

[@robk.6591]

*Spoilers* I have to wonder if the ghost of Ryan is also now haunting the house. 🤔

[@sushibunny71]

SPOILER// THIS. because why would the brother destroy his own room? i don’t think the ghost during the entire movie is the brother

[@metalraygear2677]

@@robk.6591 SPOILERS DELENIATION SPOILERS BELOW ryan in the end floats away signifying that he has moved on

[@robk.6591]

​@@metalraygear2677oh, wow. I didn't catch that. Thanks.

[@foreverpatty]

I can see why there are people who wouldn’t like the movie, but personally I loved it. My favorite type of horror is story based rather than jump scares, and I felt like the pov the movie focuses on is so interesting. It’s barely the start of the year, but I honestly think this movie is going to be at least in my top 3 releases for 2025.

[@robk.6591]

I liked the performances of Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan the most. She had a few scenes that really set her up for a great final scene. Its worth a viewing for streaming because of the two best actors.

[@the_finalboy]

they never told us what the mom was doing illegally

[@11mmason]

thank you that was my only thing that I didn't get

[@darrenrobison4920]

The thing i liked most about the hard cuts of the movie were that we experienced them the same way the presence did. They said that he was experiencing things out of order and had to piece it together so the hard cuts were the presence shifting to a different point in time

[@metalraygear2677]

but nothing is out of order- the ghost may be blacking out but it never jumps around in time.

[@darrenrobison4920]

@ yeah true we see it in order but the ghost isn’t experiencing it in the order we are seeing it I believe plus when he jumps around he doesn’t always remember what happened previously

[@Antfhony]

I've watched it twice! The rewatch was very eye opening SPOILER ALERT -When the medium comes to the house she says "you're fooling yourself" while looking at Tyler. She's referring to him thinking Ryan is a friend. Ryan even said "Tyler has envy written on his face" -The medium whispers to the mirror "save her" -Much of my frustration the first watch was Tyler's ghost not doing anything to prevent his sisters interaction. BUT upon rewatch, the medium mentions Tyler's presence wasn't sure why he was there. So he's literally figuring it out along with us.

[@T12345687]

This movie rewards you for paying attention. It’s an awesome take on a paranormal story.

[@kerry53421]

I'm hereeeee for this review!!

[@shad0wHunterAlek]

I love your reviews so much! Thank you for everything. As I got older it’s actually gotten harder for me to watch scary movies. So being able to hear the level Of details and descriptions you provide helps me. You are the best ☺️

[@johnkistler3467]

The ghost reveal finally made sense to me once I watched this video. I thought there were two by the end of the movie. Also, the mirror scene at the end didn't make me cry but it did really creep me out. Not sure why.

[@betinababbles249]

To those in the comments that are saying ‘oh SA in movies, it’s not that serious get over it’ or complaining in general with the trigger warnings. Even if it’s fake someone who’s experienced something similar stop enjoying the movie and are focusing on reminding themselves it’s not real and it’s good to know that ahead of time to prepare before watching a movie or skip the movie all together. These comments just show a lack of empathy and it’s really concerning.

[@ariz347]

Presence worked for me, too. It wasn’t this super scary movie I was expecting, but I truly enjoyed the story being told, the mystery, and Chloe and her dad’s relationship. Since we were the ghost, it had the same vibe of playing a pov game or something. It’s not perfect by any means, but I can definitely see it being a comfort film for some

[@amandagracew]

I really enjoyed this film! Yesterday I did a double feature of this with Wolf Man, and I really preferred Presence. I love experimental horror and I thought this did it very well and was so powerful and moving. As someone who has also experienced grief it was really hard to see the way Chloe was treated and how her mom talked about her. SPOILER: I still disliked the mom at the end, I think I would have felt differently if we saw her apologize to Chloe and try to repair that relationship.

[@Lesha_cringe_]

Hooray new video

[@anakaren7882]

Been looking forward to this video. I have tickets for this tonight. Dealing with some grief of my own so a bit hesitant but at the same time excited. Thank you so much for sharing!!! 🥰

[@anakaren7882]

I am not okay. Back for the spoiler talk…

[@nat.alfaro]

I loved it so much. It hit me the same way Sarah, got me teary eyed.

[@GnawedPupils]

Hi. I don't usually comment but today I will. I have some thoughts. Firstly, I think this film has parallels with the found footage genre. The perspective is definitely derived from that concept, just with the camera being an ultra-smooth moving ghosty. Second, I wish they had done this without the weird guy trying to drug and SA everyone because that took all of the intrigue away from the super original concept and presented him as a threat that frankly wasn't necessary. And finally, I wonder how much the Bent-Neck Lady from The Haunting of Hill House was an inspiration here or whether this was an entirely organic concept from the director.

[@nicolemeans54]

Taking decor ideas from horror/thriller movies. Love it.

[@tunedelaghetto]

I went into this movie without seeing a single trailer and loved it. My favorite of the year so far.

[@Getguti]

I enjoy the movie for what it was a little underwhelming at times but the concept was interesting enough they should have had just a couple other sequences the ghost moved or altered something for more scares and what if the first ghost was Nadia but because in the last scene she follows her brother helps force both out the window then in turn having the brother be the last ghost. Unless it’s a purgatory situation and the brother is just reliving that time since they moved in the new house as memories and it’s a time loop. It’s very compelling conversation starter of a film.

[@khaleahatfield4644]

I am somehow spectacularly early. I always look forward to these reviews! 🖤

[@reelfiction3089]

Thank you for doing the hard work of being emotionally vulnerable in public. I too am in a similar situation.

[@emilymarshman1261]

Neon has a habit of telling people their movies are 'the scariest you'll watch all year' and I feel that really detracts from the movie you're watching. I was blindsided by the moment between the lead and her boyfriend and it was so hard to watch, I almost felt at that point like I'd been tricked into watching a movie by thinking it would be about something when it was really about something else lol

[@Lacey0312]

I completely agree! I have a hard boundary for that sort of thing in media ( any kind -- books, TV, movies ) and so it's on me for not looking it up or something. Even though the intention was interrupted, it felt SO insidious and took me from enjoying the movie to sitting in that uncomfortable-ness throughout the remainder of the film. I think that lessened the impact of the ending for me ( unfortunately ) because I was reeling from the earlier events.

[@mariem92]

I am very surprised about the bad reviews because I really like the movie. Of course it wasn't scary at all and it also took me a second to get used to the pace and the way it was filmed but I liked how original it was. I think the story was interesting and I realized just now watching your review who the ghost was and omg it really makes sense! I thought the acting was sometimes a bit so so, but that's ok. I really liked that they tried something new, the story was engaging, I was never bored tbh and surprised when I understood we were in the final act of the movie so overall, a pretty good experience on my end.

[@WalkerFilmsOfficial]

I LOVED this movie. The ending was fantastic and I didn't see it coming. Only thing I didn't like was how edge-lordy the boyfriend was, and his arc seemed pretty obvious. There were a lot of hints about the final reveal that I kept realizing over the drive home and days after watching. I feel like a lot of people who hate this movie were just hoping for a jump-scare filled spook show, and the trailers were the reason for that. Great review as always and I appreciate you even if we don't see eye to eye on things sometimes!

[@mina-ala]

I thought the whole boyfriend story was cringey.... there was enough going on with the movie without bringing in that character's shitty actions... without spoilers, i think that the storyline was cheap and low hanging fruit. I liked the way it was shot, the house was beautiful, and the acting was great! But overall, i was not impressed... it's not realistic that the cops wouldn't be all over that kid

[@krookodile3106]

Yessss this movie would have been maybe a 4.5 out of 5 for me if the main “threat” of the story was just replaced with something else. The boyfriend’s dialogue was quite bad and I hate being shocked with cheap S/A references when I go into a movie.

[@butterflyeyesx]

I saw it in a “screen unseen” so had no clue what we were watching until it started. I REALLY enjoyed the film (which took me by surprise) the ending had me sobbing. I can see why it’s not for everyone but I would recommend a watch as it might surprise you 😊

[@dakotahill8577]

Marketing is selling a totally different movie. I'm glad I hadn't seen the trailer, otherwise I would have been so disappointed. But I really liked it.

[@theoaugustmartin8051]

This movie hit me in so much of my trauma and i found it so beautiful because of that. I won’t be able to watch this again for a while because of those triggers, but it was beautiful nonetheless

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

Good review and cool video Sarah!👍

[@lizzyh1890]

I double featured this with Wolf Man (liked it more than I expected...Leigh has yet to disappoint me) and I loved it so much! Not a "scary" movie so I'm glad I dodged all of the marketing ahead of seeing it. But I still had a good time and really enjoyed the filming style once I got used to it

[@t.r.g4595]

SPOILER WARNING. If the ghost didn’t intervene to wake Tyler up to go upstairs and fall to his death, does it not stand to reason that Tyler never would have died to then become the ghost that needed to wake himself up in order for the ghost to even exist in the first place? I understand a time loop, but this is a whole chicken-or-the-egg kind of a paradox. Either some other external variable should have woken Tyler up, or the ghost should have been Chloe all along. I hated it.

[@ExploringWithJosh]

Same

[@ivaznaor5726]

I just got out of the theater. I did like the movie, but it gave me motion sickness, so that kinda messed it up for me. I know it's not fair but hey, I'm nauseated. And NOT just because of the camera work. I didn't know about THAT scene in advance and mind you, some people from my audience laughed. LAUGHED. Also, there were 10 year-old girls sitting in front of me watching all that. I felt sooooo uncomfortable. I'm very sensitive about SA. That's pretty much the boundary in horror for me. A 3/5 score.

[@skabcat242]

It wasn't what I was expecting but I did enjoy it. It was nice to get a different type of haunting movie. I feel casual watchers wont get it. I was impressed by what the director accomplished with such a small budget. BTW. For those who seen the movie. Anyone notice the family always ordered out and never cooked? For some reason that stood out to me.

[@michaelmcclure7434]

My life changes and my views change. I don't see anything to explain or apologize for. If 10 years from now, you're still doing this and have a household with 2 kids, a dog, couple of cats and a parakeet, you can go back and revisit movies and see if you see them differently. I'd watch.

[@sirthalface]

I wondered too what the drug was but At one point in the movie the friend says “weak ass fentanyl” after he realized she isn’t fully knocked out yet.

[@JustATravelerr]

I was so distracted in the first half of the movie because I was obsessed with the house and how gorgeous it was 😂

[@PossessedbyHorror]

Okay I’m glad I’m not alone!

[@nativewizard]

There is a movie called "The Damned" which came out the first week of January, I've heard it's good.

[@haxan6663]

I wasn't that impressed with it to be honest. I agree that it isn't a horror film. It is a psychological tale, with a supernatural twist. I am glad to have seen it, but I wouldn't watch it again.

[@meganwaldeck1141]

I totally agree with you that I think it’s a 3.5 out of five! I very much enjoyed it and think a lot of the negative reviews are because of the way that it was marketed to everyone. Also, I tend to think I figure out twists pretty easily… But honestly, it was your video that made me realize it was the brother all along! Not sure how I completely missed that… But now it makes total sense. When the medium is in their house She mentioned something along the lines of the spirit maybe not even being dead yet because time isn’t necessarily linear in the spirit world. But also most likely the spirit did die in the house. Which I then thought was odd because the realtor said nothing like that had happened yet. So I kind of just chalked it up to. It was meant to be a mystery. And some people could think it was the friend if they wanted to, but we never really know. And then when her son was in the mirror, I assumed it was because he had just died and was reaching out one final time. But honestly, I think I like the movie way more now because you’re totally right it was the brother the whole time!😂 21:22

[@lunalovett]

I also really enjoyed this film! I think the marketing really did it a disservice and misrepresented what the movie was. This film worked for me personally because I also really like slice-of-life, fly-on-the-wall movies. I thought the characters (especially the teens) were very realistic. Many films don't portray teenagers realistically and I felt this one was very grounded. I do want to say as someone who isn't a parent, the ending still worked for me. I don't think you should discredit your feelings on the film cause you have a bias. If the film spoke to you, I think that means the film is really special. Art is subjective, so I understand why people don't enjoy this film, but it shocked and moved me so for that, I gave it 4 stars.

[@11mmason]

loved this movie so much. it moved me so much i cried for an hour afterwards in my car lmao.

[@nancyboysuk]

HA! I really liked this film but so glad it wasn’t just me who spent a lot of the time admiring the house. Me and the ghost would have to get along because no way would I be leaving.

[@dorislachat9581]

Thank you, Sarah, yet again. By the way, The Exorcist got 10 nominations.

[@candicelynnH]

To in a violent nature's credit ...I will say, in that last scene, I have not felt that kind of tension in a horror movie in years. Random thought while watching 😉

[@JATOclowncar]

I was looking for a horror that the marketing said it was, and cancelled my ticket because of negative audience reception. I appreciate the review, you've convinced me to see it tonight. Hope the teenagers are gone lol.

[@missyissy16]

I’m so glad someone else thought of a ghost story!

[@DR_DOOM_3298]

My friend and I had the theater to ourselves watching this & I enjoyed it. It was also a nice change of pace to see the husband / dad character not be a complete piece of shit, he was actually the "good parent".

[@Nite_flyer_x3]

I agree... went to see it thursday... loved how it was shot but it reminded me more of a lovely bones kind of movie than a horror movie... it is described as thriller/suspense when you look it up but meh lol as a cinephile, I did like it but they sold it to audiences the wrong way! Also, in the scene with the woman trying to explain the ghost to the family, she says that the ghost isn’t sure who they are and what their purpose is. Time for them is irrelevant. They could be from past, present, or future. That’s when I figured it was the brother. Especially when he was explaining the prank to the mom and the ghost trashed his room. He was upset by his own view and treatment of women.

[@katie.andreas27]

I thought this movie was great! I agree that the marketing was bs, and I definitely think that’s why people are responding negatively. I love interpersonal relationships/drama in film, so right up my alley.

[@nightclubrealm]

[@salmonsdontdie4952]

I thought this was a 10/10! When the film ended and I saw the writer was David Koepp, writer and director of Stir of Echoes, another banger supernatural film.

[@PolyStnrLvrGirl9]

Loved this movie! I want to see it again, but I'll wait for the streaming :)

[@cameron521]

eeee I've been waiting for this one!!

[@KikiMeowKitty]

*SPOILERS* The movie made me so uncomfortable for some reason, maybe because it felt like we were listening in on private conversations and the tension of not knowing where the movie was going to go(if the ghost was going to become aggresive/who is the ghost/questions like that.) It did feel like a slice of life type of movie in the beginning which is totally my type of movie, I loved the ending and the redemption arc for Tyler. He was so awful to his sister so to see him coming to her side and protecting her and taking care of her was beautiful. I felt at times the acting was a little meh but it didn't take away from the experience for me, I still rank the movie 5 stars. I went in knowing nothing about the movie other than it got good reviews and that it was a horror/psychological thriller so I did not expect it to be that emotional, it was a hard watch at some points but totally worth it. I never thought the ghost was Nadia, then when the lady said the tragity didnt happen yet because of a window that wont open my brother said the ghost is chloe, she must get stuck in there because of a fire or something and i was like OH SHIT lol, but then at some point im like what if its the brother... I got chills when we find out it's actually him and he goes to save his sister. I'm hoping the mom learned her lesson in the end.

[@11mmason]

spoiler: the only question i have that i missed was what was the mom doing that was illegal? i dont remember that being explained but i remember the dads phonecall. can anyone help me with this one 😁

[@PossessedbyHorror]

I wish this was explained too I have no idea!

[@sirthalface]

I saw it in Dolby and it was pointless. Could have waited for a streaming release for sure.

[@earthtoabo]

I really liked the movie! I was nauseous at the beginning and sobbing at the end!

[@Brendanstop]

Spoilers The medium said in the movie that spirits don’t live in a “present”. So I think that clears up how he came back. His afterlife was out of order. I guess time is only a construct to the living…?

[@metalraygear2677]

I disliked this movie mainly because it was marketed as a scary horror movie when it was furthest from the truth. But the movie forgets its own rules. The ending shot was good. SPOILERS The ghost is able to move objects- but then in the final act cannot. Does nothing to stop the guy from drugging her while in the kitchen- then can't interact with anyone in the end. It makes no sense.

[@leandromathiz7512]

If it was one of the dead girls, the ghost would have reacted as soon as the brother’s friend showed up.

[@sushibunny71]

so would the brother no?

[@stevep7608]

@ if we go with the theory that the ghost is reliving an experience, AND it’s the first cycle, then maybe. But that throws a lot of options into the mix.

Why do people say that In a Violent Nature was from the killers pov when it wasn't

[@aleksandarurosevic2070]

Watch Lake Mungo if you haven't. I think it'd be right up your alley.

Genuinely good and unique, not unlike skinamarink and a ghost story. And in a violent nature like u say!
