La presencia

About This Movie

La presencia gives off this eerie, claustrophobic vibe right from the start. You've got two girls in a secluded house by a swamp, which already sets up a sense of isolation and dread. The pacing is slow, but it builds tension nicely, making you feel every creak and whisper around them. The performances are quite raw, adding an authentic layer to their relationship and the horror that creeps in. The themes of love intertwined with fear are explored in a subtle way, which is refreshing. What stands out are the practical effects that add to the atmosphere without overshadowing the narrative. It's a film that lingers with you, maybe not for everyone, but it has its own haunting charm.
