"Woman with personal issues goes to a remote place in the woods somewhere to spend some time alone in the cabin she spent her summers as a child. One thing I will add – and it is my only positive – the ending had a lovely little - you could almost call it a twist but it is more of a concept revealer – that shows that this idea could have been much more successful if it was filmed with a bit more passion and movement. Let’s just say a couple more things happen near the end but I congratulate any marathon runner viewer that can make it that far. I’m going to stop right there and not tell more of this plot, as it is making me relive this horribly boring film yet again. All the time, Dead Guy watches and does…nothing! Finally, we find out the source(s) of her mood: she was abused by her father as a child, and now, an evil spirit is whispering things in her ear and she is listening.

She just wants to work and he would like someone to speak to. He keeps making food and coffee that she does not ingest. Despite this, The Man proposes to her and she accepts, although immediately after, he almost falls down a cliff and she drops and loses the ring while saving him. They have zero chemistry, but I believe that is by design. This is supposed to be a scary moment, I think. We get about 35 minutes of this, until finally The Woman’s Boyfriend shows up, uninvited and unannounced (there’s no boat sound or anything).

She can’t see him, and he has the pallor of a dead person. And just so it isn’t completely boring, there a pale guy watching her all the time. Every time she uses the outhouse, a dead bird is thrown against it.

THE PRESENCE MOVIE MOVIE
Imagine the most boring movie ever – just watching The Woman (Mira Sorvino) as she tinkers around by herself in a log cabin with no electricity. A woman’s idyllic cabin retreat is haunted by ghosts and by her past
