It’s kind of funny how one of the most acclaimed and prolific directors of his generation, Steven Soderbergh, can release movies that go a bit under the radar, but here we are as his 2025 new movie Presence is now playing and it feels almost like it is being overlooked. But based on the movie’s buzz, it sounds like one that movie fans should definitely seek out, so we’ve got the info you need to watch Presence right now.
Presence actually had its world premiere about a year ago at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, but now general movie fans can watch it for themselves and see why it has been described as a fresh take on the haunted house genre. But is the movie streaming, is it just in theaters?
Read on for everything you need to know about how to watch Presence.
