“The world cracks apart… and you fall into this hole… And the sides are mud and you can’t get out… And you wonder where they are…?” Neon has finally revealed the main official trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s ghost story film Presence. This first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is a chilling flip on the haunted house concept – it’s a shot-in-one-location thriller about a family that moves into a new home. Opening in limited theaters starting January 2025 early next year – catch this soon. A family moves into a suburban house and becomes convinced they’re not alone. The rest of the story must not be spoiled – wait until you watch it in theaters. Presence stars Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Julia Fox, Eddy Maday, and West Mulholland. It’s a chilling, very unsettling film with a smooth camera following a ghost that drifts around this house with a not-that-scary but also very-scary (once it gets going) supernatural story involving the two kids. They released three other teasers before this, each one creepier than the next, ending with this final full trailer that will absolutely give you the creeps. What exactly is going on inside this house?
