PRESENCE - Official Trailer - In Theaters January

[@sloppysteaks]

If you're curious how Soderbergh shot this - it's a Sony A9iii with a 14mm lens on a gimbal. He walked around the house in slippers and shot long continuous takes. Mostly natural light.

[@GrizzlyHugz]

I would be terrified if I saw Soderbergh walk around my house in slippers at night.

[@pcgothman]

Feels like a spooky Terrence Malick movie!

[@erymano467]

You are the DP ?

[@sloppysteaks]

@ he’s spoken about it and I saw the film at TIFF

[@master-of-mind5881]

Is the camera anamorphic or spherical?

i love these trailers that don't show a single scary thing. im ready to be scared at the cinema, not while watching the trailer on the waiting room of my doctor's office

[@jaimemanrique2640]

Yea cuz the film isn’t really horror, it’s a family drama filmed from the perspective of a ghost

Whenever a trailer says "one of the scariest movies of the year" I always think really because we are lucky if we get one scary movie per year

[@1999Eternal]

I was so hyped for Oddity cuz of how much "scariest movie of the year" buzz it had and was completely underwhelmed by it

[@GarrettKemp]

exactly. when i see that in trailers i think, "now i know you're lying."

​@@1999Eternal huh. Not saying you're wrong I guess, but I watch a lot of horror movies and I thought Oddity was one of the scariest I've ever seen.

Holy crap, was that a trailer that made you interested in a movie without giving the entire plot away!?! How can it be!

[@IncomeWeekly]

The atmosphere in this trailer is absolutely gripping! The way they build tension with each scene hints at a deep emotional journey. Can't wait to see how it all unfolds on the big screen!

[@NivenHedinger]

Basically, an "entity" follows normal family, with their own rea life issues, struggles, then the "entity" gets bored and decides to have fun and it is so generous, decides to include the family too 👌

[@cutesim99]

or the entity is an innocent but troubled victim and the family has trauma and when the two mix they begin to crumble together manifesting the haunting

[@NivenHedinger]

Soderbergh is one of the best directors working today that most people have never heard of.

[@PaulForstall-yn5bu]

I don't know about that. He's been making movies for 35 years and some have been extremely mainstream. Maybe people in their 20s don't but I kinda refuse to believe from like 25 on don't know who he is.

[@Redscape_]

Really? The Ocean's franchise isn't that old. And he's had a few mainstream hits since then.

Maybe to some young bucks. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Lucy Liu is easily one of the worst actors in Hollywood. Hope this role doesn't have any speaking parts

[@guywithopinion]

She never left

[@Mangolite]

I’m calling it. We are in the perspective of the ghost, like the killer in In a Violent Nature, but there is a twist: one of the family members will be the PRESENCE by the end of the film, like The Bent-Neck Lady from The Haunting of Hill House. By the way, this aligns very much with Lucy Liu's old interview about her intimate ghost experiences.

[@thatJAWNraps]

def ghost story from ghosts POV - sharing the horror in voieover or someone who can see them - gives sooo much freedom to cam work to have a FIRST person POV option AS the thing creating the scare i get why they say it 'redfines cinema' or whatever, this and Heretic are gonna be BANGERS

[@dyllanrodriguez2828]

Same thoughts I have, definitely heavy In a Violent Nature energy here. I’m just hoping they go all the way with the concept because In a Violent Nature didn’t for the most part, not a bad movie but missed potential out the ass man.

[@debbiefox6846]

​​@@robbenton9470Probably from people who were able to see it in a prescreening. A few commenters on here have already prescreened it and said it was from the ghost POV. They also added that the story it's self was good even without the irriness. Hope it's good.

[@gummywormee41]

​@robbenton9470 Imo it's because the Camera always looks like it's looming over someone, watching the dude sleep, approaching someone from behind, even chasing one of them There's also two scenes of people seeming to notice the camera. One with the lady by the window, and the other with the approaching lady. Both times the camera backs away, like it's a person.

[@kratosrulz70]

​@@dyllanrodriguez2828not a bad movie? In a violent nature was ass

[@doruk659]

oh hell yeah the shots look like the perspective of a ghost/presence watching over the family

Reminds me of the VR game _The Invisible Hours_ where we play a ghostly presence.

[@ericmwanza99]

The camera work looks incredible

[@dyllanrodriguez2828]

I’m getting some heavvvvy “In a Violent Nature” vibes as far as the perspective is switched from the humans to the monster or ghost and I really dig it. The problem with In a Violent Nature for me is that is was just not as engaging at times and definitely didn’t take advantage of the concept to its fullest while focusing on a very meh villain perspective. Jason or Michael are fun to watch from victim eyes for sure but seeing them walk everywhere and do things in a slow way with no extra flair to it really drags the movie down. THIS seems way more promising if that’s what we’re seeing in this perspective. I’m excited, this could be a banger for January

[@OrionInSpace]

Very good trailer!! I’m all in I don’t need to see anything more.

this looks great. I had an idea for a short film a couple months ago that had the idea of the ghost pov, which would be shot on a 9mm lens. I forgot about it up until I watched fallen angels not long ago. The camera work reminded me of the short film idea I had and when I started working on it. I wanted to check if its been done before, and then I see the teaser for this. idk if I should make it now bc people would think I copied this or whatever. The plot is different to mine but still similar yk.
