The Presence (2010)
4/10
"You can't do much of anything really"
2 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A woman goes to the remote cabin she knew as a child, The cabin has a 'Presence' who just stands around with an expression on his face that suggests he has severe constipation. The woman's boyfriend turns up. An evil "Presence" turns up and tries to be threatening but fails. Later on an angelic 'Presence' turns up. It is basically a slow and rather dull ghost story that doesn't make much sense. Nothing is ever explained. (the suicidal birds for one thing) and it is sad to see the movie relying on the hackneyed use of doors banging to try and give a scare. The music score is over emphatic to a ridiculous degree.

Slightly redeeming the film are the pretty cinematography and Mira Sorvino, though even a gifted actor like her can't overcome the poor scripting.
