Presencias

About This Movie

So, 'Presencias' is an interesting piece. It dives into the psychological horror realm, and the atmosphere is just dripping with tension. The return to the father’s cabin carries this weight of nostalgia but also dread, which is quite effectively unsettling. The pacing feels deliberate; it builds slowly, almost methodically, letting you stew in the protagonist's memories and guilt over his sister's drowning. The practical effects are surprisingly well-executed, enhancing that eerie vibe without over-relying on CGI. Performances are solid, capturing a palpable sense of loss and haunting regret that lingers long after. The film’s exploration of grief and the past as a haunting presence makes it stand out, really. It’s not the loud, jump-scare type of horror but rather a creeping dread that takes hold.
