Steven SoderberghsPresencereinvents the supernatural horror film by presenting the whole story from the entitys point of view.
Despite tackling different subgenres,the slow-burn pacing ofPresenceandIn A Violent Naturemakes them feel spiritually connected.
This creates apprehension as you know that Johnny’s intention is to kill, and you are simply waiting.

What happens in a horror movie from the perspective of a supernatural entity?
Both movies still use linear storytelling, as we watch interactions happen in real time.
They also both commit to staying within their perspective.
It is purposefully mundane and explains how a killer gets from one place to the other.
On the other hand,Presencesits with the family dynamicmuch more and doesnt have big ceremonious moments of horror.
