It’s a ghost story told from the point of view of the ghost.

Neon has announced a January 17 release date in select theaters for PRESENCE, directed by Steven Soderbergh (see the teaser poster below for his credits) from a script by David Koepp (JURASSIC PARK, STIR OF ECHOES). Lucy Liu, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Eddy Maday, West Mulholland and Julia Fox star in the film, which will have its international premiere at the Toronto Film Festival next month. The synopsis: “A family moves into a suburban house and becomes convinced they’re not alone.”
