I Saw ‘Presence’ in a ‘Haunted’ House and Survived to Tell the Tale
Steven Soderbergh's new horror film 'Presence,' starring Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan, held a special screening at a haunted house.
This means lots of unbroken, hand-held shots weaving throughout the home (Soderbergh served as DP under the pseudonym Peter Andrews) and wore slippers while shooting to mute sound. It’s actually an event venue where I’ve previously attended a birthday party, but it fit the bill on the surface – it’s a home built in the 1920s that looks like it was plucked off New Orleans’ Bourbon Street and transplanted into an L.A. neighborhood. The film is elevated by fantastic performances from the four actors playing the family — Lucy Liu as a co-dependent mother, Eddy Maday as her favorite child and Callina Liang as the grieving young woman who is quick to suspect a spirit.
