Presence Movie Reviews

Don’t bother with this one…

As I opted to sit down and watch “Presence” here late in 2022, it was because I stumbled upon the movie. Sure, I had never even heard about this movie from director Christian Schultz prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn’t know what to expect here, nor did I know what I was in for aside from what I read in the synopsis.

Writers Peter Ambrosio and Christian Schultz swung wide and miss horribly with “Presence”. The movie’s plot was dull, mundane and downright non-existing. I managed to suffer through 49 minutes of the 82 minutes that the movie ran for. Then I just gave up and tossed the towel in the ring out of sheer and utter boredom. Nothing, and I mean that literally, of any interest had happened on the screen in those minutes, and thus there was no sense in prolonging the suffering of watching.

I wasn’t familiar with the cast ensemble in “Presence”, but I will say that it was a shame that they virtually had nothing to work with in terms of script, storyline, character gallery or dialogue.

For a horror movie then “Presence” was just not worth the effort. The only thing scary in the movie was how utterly boring and pointless the movie was. And believe you me when I say that I have zero interest in returning to watch the rest of this boring movie.

My rating of “Presence” lands on a very generous two out of ten stars. And it is the production value of the movie that brings it up to two, because the storyline was just a dumpster fire.

Ending was good

I don’t know about much of this film. The motivation, the plot, the reason it was even made. I honestly was pretty confused the entire time. Most of it was filmed on a nice boat so I liked that. I love nice boats. That being said….

Like wtf. What was the plot? I don’t know. The lead character, well she is a 10 and she is a good actor. But besides that the dialogue is pretty bad and there’s too many crap scenes like the ambien one. Nice foreshadow….not. Poor writing. It’s pretty amateur overall BUT…

The ending is great. And it doesn’t really answer any questions but the last 10 minutes are the entire point of the film. And I guarantee the director would nod his head. Nice effort although I still don’t understand the plot…..The end. At least this review has an ending you’ll understand.

Strange but worth it

After leaving New York after a mental breakdown, Jennifer (Jenna Lyng Adams) learns from her friend Sam (Alexandria DeBerry) that at least her business life is going well, as billionaire David (Dave Vacis) wants them to work on the design of his new product. He invites her to his private yacht, but that’s when she starts being confronted with visions of violence. Is she possessed? Is this how her anxiety shows itself? And is anyone safe from her?

Director Christian Schultz, who wrote the script with Peter Ambrosio, embraces the form of giallo that is not as much about black gloved killers. Instead, it’s the film in which a female protagonist doubts every single thing in her reality, as she’s an unreliable narrator to herself. Jennifer dreams of being stalked by a shadowy figure that never quite reveals itself; she often awakens to situations that she’s escalated but can’t control.

With just minutes left, a character says, “Uou look like you have a lot of questions. I’d like to provide you with some answers.” The answers that we get may not solve the mystery of this movie, but the idea that our perception of the world is at odds with what others experience is a universal one; this movie pushes that idea to the limit.
