Such an interesting concept for a film - as we take on the POV of our ghost/entity/spirit - whatever you want to call it, that follows a family moving into a new house. The film cuts into mini scenes - an argument, a family dinner, chilling with a friend - but there is a general feeling of unease, especially as it focuses on Chloe (Callina Liang), who is suffering emotional trauma following the overdose death of two girls she knew. Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan and Eddy Maday round out our dysfunctional family - as well as West Mulholland, the popular kid in their new school. There is no blood, gore or cheap scares, just a lot of tension and an ending I didn't see coming for once. If you like slow-burn type films, I highly recommend it.

"Presence" is so convincing with its methods of presenting information and developing its characters that I actually wasn't too disappointed by the fact it's not all that scary.
