Never to trust IMDb's ratings ever again.
4.7? This movie deserves at least a 7.5.
Why does it not have one?
Because I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who wouldn't want the concepts in this movie to see the light of day in the mainstream.
There are too many people out there who can't handle direct expressions of the truth.
'The Presence' is a great and well done film. -

You have no brain, and likely no soul if you think that about this movie. Just because a movie isn't lighting fast paced and has special effects and bang boom every 4 seconds, along with extensive boobs, and blood Eesh, kids these days. Well go watch your brainless crap you unholy to imbecil.
On the other hand, if you are open to an atmospheric, paced movie, meant to build a sense of actually being there to help intensify the fear, again s.l.o.w.l.y. And to creep you out with a ghost that does what many fear from childhood, things that go bump in the night, and sometimes even during the day. The movie then goes into a cool and fairly unique direction of scaring the viewer and making them care fir the characters, while not baby walking us through the whole back story, as if our brains cannot take cues and hints and suppose what that story might be.
As to why she wkukd go to the cabin, she was tormented by her pain from her oast for certain, but her good memories of the place were there too And she went to get away So where do you go to get away Your old cabin in the woods sounds good to me.
The end brings into the movie that ever so forbidden subject, REAL spiritualalty, and forgiveness, and perhaps even a hint of God.
That is probably why there are so many negative reviews and it has a low rating.
But alas, people mostly seem to want Battleship, instead of the Silence of the Lambs these days.
