All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Presence (2010)

Starring: Mira Sorvino, Justin Kirk, Shane West
Director: Tom Provost

Premise:
A woman returns to a remote cabin to work on her novel. A cabin inhabited by two spirits who fight for her possession.

My Take:
I didn't care much for the story. The viewer knows from the beginning one spirit is stalking her, but you dont know why. It borders on relationship drama after her boyfriend arrives. Then another spirit shows up and attempts to cause chaos on both.
However, the acting is top notch and the cinematography is quite excellent. Lots of wooded mountain shots.

Rating: In the middle
