Conclusion
Two trailers have been released, offering a glimpse into the eerie experiences within the house. In one trailer, we see the story from the ghost’s point of view. A voice is heard saying, “She just stopped breathing, dead in her own bed. Can you imagine the parents finding her?” After this, the girl’s ghost is seen wandering through the house, observing her belongings like her watch, wardrobe, and other items, all appearing hauntingly out of place in her absence.
The second trailer focuses on the unsettling experience of dealing with death, described as terrifying, like “the world cracking apart.” Both trailers masterfully use sound design, highlighting creaky doors, ticking clocks, and subtle noises that amplify the atmosphere of dread.
If you are a fan of the horror genre and can watch such films without covering your face, Presence is a must-watch. It promises an unforgettable experience as you decide whether it truly is the scariest movie of the year—and whether you can feel the “presence” yourself.
