Steven Soderbergh often applies his brainy, process-based approach to new genres; with Presence, he tries his hand at ghost-story horror.

“Presence” is a beautifully executed vision of a rather mediocre script. What makes it interesting is the POV “gimmick,” which Soderbergh demonstrates as a legitimate mode of cinematic storytelling. His camera movements take on such a human quality that we become emotionally connected to it as another character in the story.

Often the camera operator on his own films, the Oscar-winning director of "Traffic" had an idea for a first-person horror movie, one that required some stamina.

Doing his own camerawork, the director gleefully enriches the haunted-house genre with a simple but ingenious device.

The writer teams with Steven Soderbergh on this haunting story with a twist: The entire film is shot from the point-of-view of the ghost.

Presence see's director Steven Soderbergh and screenwriter David Koepp deliver a ghost story unlike quite any other.
