This is the third film in the Stuttgart White Nights Festival.
It's a haunted house story, which is a common genre that's been overdone for
years, but "Presence" has an original idea. The whole film is shown through
the eyes of the ghost. The ghost watches the family moving in, he/she watches
them settle in and go about their daily activities, and he/she follows the
family members from room to room, attempting to communicate with them by
moving items.
I say he/she, because the identity of the ghost is never determined.
The daughter Chloe suspects that it's the ghost of her friend Nadia who
recently died of a drug overdose.
The film excels by having strong character development. Every family member is
unique, and they're all interesting in their own ways.
