Presence

A horror film by Steven Soderbergh ("Sex, Lies, and Videotape," "Ocean's Eleven") about a haunted house, told from the perspective of the ghost.

The horror has a standard genre beginning: a family arrives at a suspicious house where something otherworldly seems to reside. However, the focus of this film, unlike the overwhelming majority of ghost stories, is not on the past. Soderbergh makes a quiet revolution in the genre by shifting the emphasis from the past to the future. Something terrible, yet completely earthly, is destined to happen in the haunted house.

Steven Soderbergh is a one-man band (for instance, he shoots his films himself as a cinematographer under the pseudonym Peter Andrews), a former cinematic wunderkind who became the youngest director to win the Palme d'Or at just twenty-six years old.
