Ghosts have been a significant part of human storytelling and cinema, serving as a medium to explore themes of mortality, trauma, and regret. Over time, these spectral figures have transformed, moving away from the benign spirits of classic Hollywood to the more menacing and grotesque representations found in modern films like 'Paranormal Activity'. Steven Soderbergh's recent film, 'Presence', stands out by adopting a unique first-person perspective from the ghost, challenging traditional narrative styles and offering a fresh take on the haunting genre through its distinct visual approach that enhances feelings of isolation.
Ghosts in cinema reflect the evolution of societal views on mortality and trauma, shifting from friendly apparitions to malevolent figures of horror and dread.
Soderbergh's 'Presence' utilizes first-person POV to immerse viewers in the ghost's experience, challenging perceptions of haunted narratives and evoking profound isolation.
