Steven Soderbergh, known for pushing cinematic boundaries, has once again startled audiences with the trailer for his latest venture, “Presence“. Released to coincide with the eerie atmosphere of October’s end, the trailer for this horror film has set social media abuzz,

“Presence” marks a unique entry into Soderbergh’s diverse filmography, presenting what many are calling a “ghost story from the ghost’s perspective.” This narrative twist, where the audience experiences the haunting through the eyes of the supernatural entity, was first hinted at in earlier teasers but fully realized in the latest trailer. The film, which premiered to critical acclaim at Sundance earlier in 2024, has been picked up by Neon for distribution, setting its sights on a January 24, 2025, theatrical release.

The anticipation for “Presence” isn’t solely based on its visual innovation. The cast, featuring Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, and the script penned by David Koepp, adds layers of expectation around character depth and plot complexity. Initial reactions from Sundance praised not just the technical aspects but also how the script handles familial dynamics amidst supernatural occurrences, suggesting a blend of horror with a nuanced human drama.

As “Presence” edges closer to its release, the trailer has successfully ignited a flame of curiosity and dread among horror enthusiasts and Soderbergh fans. This film promises not just scares but a reflection on perspective, presence, and perhaps, the very nature of haunting. Whether “Presence” will haunt us as effectively as its ghostly protagonist remains to be seen, but for now, its trailer has certainly made its presence felt in the hearts of those who crave something new in the realm of horror cinema.
