If you're curious how Soderbergh shot this - it's a Sony A9iii with a 14mm lens on a gimbal. He walked around the house in slippers and shot long continuous takes. Mostly natural light.
i love these trailers that don't show a single scary thing. im ready to be scared at the cinema, not while watching the trailer on the waiting room of my doctor's office
I’m calling it. We are in the perspective of the ghost, like the killer in In a Violent Nature, but there is a twist: one of the family members will be the PRESENCE by the end of the film, like The Bent-Neck Lady from The Haunting of Hill House. By the way, this aligns very much with Lucy Liu's old interview about her intimate ghost experiences.
def ghost story from ghosts POV - sharing the horror in voieover or someone who can see them - gives sooo much freedom to cam work to have a FIRST person POV option AS the thing creating the scare i get why they say it 'redfines cinema' or whatever, this and Heretic are gonna be BANGERS
Same thoughts I have, definitely heavy In a Violent Nature energy here. I’m just hoping they go all the way with the concept because In a Violent Nature didn’t for the most part, not a bad movie but missed potential out the ass man.
@@robbenton9470Probably from people who were able to see it in a prescreening. A few commenters on here have already prescreened it and said it was from the ghost POV. They also added that the story it's self was good even without the irriness. Hope it's good.
@robbenton9470 Imo it's because the Camera always looks like it's looming over someone, watching the dude sleep, approaching someone from behind, even chasing one of them There's also two scenes of people seeming to notice the camera. One with the lady by the window, and the other with the approaching lady. Both times the camera backs away, like it's a person.

Soderberg is one of the few good American directors. He still knows how to make good films that convey their atmosphere through excellent camerawork and little or no background music - just like The Exorcist back in the day.
I don't know about that. He's been making movies for 35 years and some have been extremely mainstream. Maybe people in their 20s don't but I kinda refuse to believe from like 25 on don't know who he is.
Basically, an "entity" follows normal family, with their own rea life issues, struggles, then the "entity" gets bored and decides to have fun and it is so generous, decides to include the family too 👌
I wonder if they'll be running this here in Psycho City. Robert Altman's 'Short Cuts' has been playing at the cinema here since the 90s and still sells out on $2.50 Tuesdays. --Miss Minnie
I’m getting some heavvvvy “In a Violent Nature” vibes as far as the perspective is switched from the humans to the monster or ghost and I really dig it. The problem with In a Violent Nature for me is that is was just not as engaging at times and definitely didn’t take advantage of the concept to its fullest while focusing on a very meh villain perspective. Jason or Michael are fun to watch from victim eyes for sure but seeing them walk everywhere and do things in a slow way with no extra flair to it really drags the movie down. THIS seems way more promising if that’s what we’re seeing in this perspective. I’m excited, this could be a banger for January
this looks great. I had an idea for a short film a couple months ago that had the idea of the ghost pov, which would be shot on a 9mm lens. I forgot about it up until I watched fallen angels not long ago. The camera work reminded me of the short film idea I had and when I started working on it. I wanted to check if its been done before, and then I see the teaser for this. idk if I should make it now bc people would think I copied this or whatever. The plot is different to mine but still similar yk.
@@asharpbrotha4324 everyone needs to stop believing that. people were let down by longlegs just because they kept calling it “the scariest movie ever” when every movie does that. i knew what i was expecting. i knew not to go in actually expecting the scariest movie ever. and i loved it. the same goes for every movie that has “the best movie of the summer” and shit like that. people take it too seriously.
@@yt.byliam Great point about Longlegs, I had a great time with it, and it terrified me, but I could definitely recognize that it wasn't that scary to many others. Different things terrify different people. It's very likely that Presence was the scariest movie they saw all year _for that reviewer_, but not necessarily for everyone.
I feel like overall Neon has been putting out some solid horror lately. My only thing is that the last two horror movies I’ve seen (Longlegs & Cuckoo) ended being a lot less scary than their trailers made them seem. Hopefully this one is genuinely scary.

Everyone's all like "Oh it's so innovative, a haunted house movie shot from the perspective of the ghost." Meanwhile, here's me sitting on a script I wrote eight years ago with the exact same concept that will never get made. Too bad too because it ain't bad and it's loaded with twists. I'm willing to bet this Soderbergh joint is gonna be a dry slog the whole way through much like the majority of his filmography (apart from Traffic. Traffic's an all-timer in my book)
00:26 "Flips the haunted house subgenre on its head." Well, Ghosts 2019 (UK) and Ghosts 2021 (US) television series flip the entire haunted house on its head. 🙃🤣
A movie from the perspective of the spirit/antagonist is intriguing (albeit not revolutionary), but it does feel like the visual storytelling might be incredibly limited by the choice.
Currently the main thing pulling for this movie is the name Soderbergh, who is not quite the messiah of film his fans make him out to be. This trailer was basically an open house expo with a weird thrumming sound intercut with frames telling us how awesome the movie (but mostly Soderbergh) was.
I'll be honest. Doesn't look "scary" at all. It seems to be more of what I call an "art piece". Looks to be unique and intriguing but not necessarily scary.
this is either a movie from the pov of a ghost (sick as fuck) or it’s gonna be a whole bunch of shots edited to make the whole movie look like a one take, which is also super fucking sick
If you're curious how Soderbergh shot this - it's a Sony A9iii with a 14mm lens on a gimbal. He walked around the house in slippers and shot long continuous takes. Mostly natural light.
I would be terrified if I saw Soderbergh walk around my house in slippers at night.
Feels like a spooky Terrence Malick movie!
You are the DP ?
@ he’s spoken about it and I saw the film at TIFF
Is the camera anamorphic or spherical?
Neon and A24 singlehandedly keeping original ideas alive in the film industry.
What an insult to all indie films,if ppl can be arsed to look theirs tons of original films released every year,and not by studios either
Don’t forget Warp Films, totally underrated
Don't forget indie films bro
@@philstone6129Maybe this person just doesn't know lol, but I agree all indie films just need a budget..some of them have interesting concept
They are just commercial companies

Yes she is
@@The_TWINS_Anas_And_Malik she really needs to get that hawk tuah spat on that thang!

Yes it does
I think the camera is a ghost...
@SpursCCXIV no it's not
🙄🥱... imo, nothing special...

It's like if the Evil Dead POV cam decided to haunt people without so much running.

Pfp checks out, you definitely haven't seen anything other than shitty Sam Raimi movies
i love these trailers that don't show a single scary thing.
im ready to be scared at the cinema, not while watching the trailer on the waiting room of my doctor's office
Yea cuz the film isn’t really horror, it’s a family drama filmed from the perspective of a ghost
Please don’t go in expecting to be scared, there’s really nothing like that in this film. It’s not attempting to be scary at all
@@Lamidemonami7891 well, in that case I might not go in at all cause I don't support false advertising lol

Saw this at the Telluride Horror Show. It's a great one, don't miss it when it comes out.
Is it scary?
@ I would say, it’s very tense throughout. It’s also just a really good movie on top of that.
Can you give me a little plot about this movie. I don't understand what's happening.
@@distortion1582 Basically the family is getting haunted, but we see the film from the perspective of the ghost or entity

I swear neon production team is putting Hollywood AAA studios to shame 😂
2 bad so sad
@nedharris I'm not mad about it, I'm glad they are
Neon and A24 are the best
So true.
Longlegs is awful u marks
Cam work looking dope. Vibes are ominous.
Not a lot going on. And it's Steven Soderbergh. So, maybe.

So my guess is it’s like A Ghost Story, we are in the eyes of the ghost moving around 🤷♂️
Love this film! Got to see it at VIFF and I think it might be Soderbergh's best work
Wow!

Lucy Liu and Steven Soderbergh!?!? IM IN!!!
WAIT!! a Steven Soderbergh movie in the movie theater! OMG! WE ARE SO BACK!!!
Why are WE back?? Back from what? The grocery store, McDonald's, laundromat?
@@aaronroberts8601 after 2018, Soderbergh made 6 movies only to streaming services, none to theaters. This movie is his return to theaters,
Soderbergh also did The Knick... Short series, but worth every moment.
Soderbergh is one of the best directors working today that most people have never heard of.
I don't know about that. He's been making movies for 35 years and some have been extremely mainstream. Maybe people in their 20s don't but I kinda refuse to believe from like 25 on don't know who he is.
Really? The Ocean's franchise isn't that old. And he's had a few mainstream hits since then.
Maybe to some young bucks. 🤷🏽♂️

Very good trailer!! I’m all in I don’t need to see anything more.
Yes it is. I mean the trailer

This comes out the weekend of my birthday I’m sooooooooo excited like omg ❤❤❤❤
The trailer doesn’t give much away which is great because I’m super intrigued to see how the premise plays out.
It would be really cool if they made the movie in 1 scene
this has just shot up to the top of my must-watch for upcoming horror movies
Just got the trailer for this during Anora. Looks really good.
So the movie is us as a ghost trying to figure out who we are, and then rage and grief at the end?
Kinda sounds like an A24 film 🤔

This may be a great film to watch via VR headset
oh hell yeah the shots look like the perspective of a ghost/presence watching over the family
NEON has been on fire this year. Sure this will be just as amazing.

A Steven Soderbergh horror film? TAKE MY MONEY
Neon making its own space like the A24. Appreciate it❤
Great film, but tonally very different from what this trailer suggests
Yeah, I get the impression this is actually more drama, maybe psychological thriller, rather than horror
Mannnn when they showed that quote of "one of the Scariest films you'll see all year" I was likeee "Yeahh OK" lol this looks like a thriller at best

A POV from the ghosts perspective 🤔 could be interesting
Obviously never seen ghost story
@philstone6129 don't think I have
@@philstone6129 meh
FINALLY! Looks amazing, can't wait to watch it.
perspective effect makes it looks so gamed
I feel this is gonna be as big as it was " Paranormal Activity " back in the day
"Finally, a real trailer that just shows the character and the setting. Finally!"
The reason I'm interested in this because David Koepp wrote this, who is the writer the first two Jurassic park movies
And , Stir Of Echoes. 👍
@@captainmobius5823 dont forget the Secret Windows
well they were books so he was an 'adapter' at best lol
but ever since malcolms dad sold meth ill never judge an actors range early
Wrong, he wrote the new Jurassic Park film as well
this looks so good. cant wait !
I feel like overall Neon has been putting out some solid horror lately. My only thing is that the last two horror movies I’ve seen (Longlegs & Cuckoo) ended being a lot less scary than their trailers made them seem. Hopefully this one is genuinely scary.
From what I’ve heard it’s more of a drama, so I’m kinda expecting to be more sad than scared.
So it's like 'The Others', but FPV? Anyway, it looks positively original and good.
I know it's just the trailer, but you can't tell me this doesn't remind you immediately of Hereditary. At least cinematically and the "mood"....

Looks like a good theater watch.
So is this from the perspective of the ghosts like “The Others!” I love that movie.
wasn't my fav but I enjoyed it!
worth a watch i'd say
Saw at Tiff 24'
Looks amazing!!
i’m excited for this one !
The way the camera moves and the natural light kinda reminds me of Terrence Malick
Looks eerie.
Awesome.
You sold me when i saw Lucy Liu

A ghost's perspective? Yeah, sounds groundbreaking...
The actors sound like they need a nap.
Lucy Liu. Loved her in Shazam: Fury of the Gods.
Soooooo this couldn't be released this October? (2024) just in ti.e for spooky season.
It's somehow managed to be POV and traditional cinematography
I feel like this is what paranormal activity wanted to be but never could achieve it
No
They seem to be leaning heavily into this being a scary film so I'm interested to see how from the entity's perspective
I highly doubt this is the “scariest movie of the year”😂
Looks interesting tho
Can this be released tmw
Julia Fox is narrating so where is she in the film?
So basically “In Violent Nature” but with a ghost instead of a slasher instead?
a horror movie trailer releasing on halloween in crazy 😭🙏
That’s how you make a trailer ❤
Now that's a good trailer.
I hope it’s a alien movie no spoilers
Better than smile 2 and longlegs?
00:26 "Flips the haunted house subgenre on its head."
Well, Ghosts 2019 (UK) and Ghosts 2021 (US) television series flip the entire haunted house on its head. 🙃🤣
Oh I'm here for this
It tells the story from "The Presence"'s point of view?
Looks really, really intresting...
so it´s kinda like a Mockumentary only thing..is directed by Soderbergh
Very intriguing
the way these scenes were shot made me feel so uncomfortable and I cannot explain why
I may be wrong but I'mma guess the twist: 1st person perspective is the ghost but may not be the actual evil entity.
wait is it a ghost story from the ghosts 1st person POV??? it says it redefines cinema?
NEON RELEASED THE TRAILER YES
LUCY LIU?!? 😍😍😍
Can’t wait for this!!!

Just, yes.
I'll be honest. Doesn't look "scary" at all. It seems to be more of what I call an "art piece". Looks to be unique and intriguing but not necessarily scary.
So it's like u r the ghost. Cool.
Isn't this the same house from James Wan's Malignant ??
Soderbergh? Done.
awesome

I am DEAD ❤
That’s an interesting concept, but I personally got nothing out of this trailer.
this is either a movie from the pov of a ghost (sick as fuck) or it’s gonna be a whole bunch of shots edited to make the whole movie look like a one take, which is also super fucking sick
So which family is real and which are the ghosts?
This is ridicilous. A trailer NOT showing the whole movie?! How come?
This honestly looks like the most boring, slow burn of a supernatural ghost story that has ever existed..... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN
