Steven Soderbergh’s latest project, ‘Presence,’ seems to signal a pivotal moment for found-footage horror films. The immense popularity of 1999’s ‘The Blair Witch Project’ reshaped the horror genre, but it wasn’t the first to use the pseudo-documentary style. Soderbergh’s new film could represent a culmination of the technique, highlighting its potential and limitations.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
Soderbergh’s involvement in the found-footage horror genre could potentially revolutionize it by incorporating innovative filming techniques and pushing the boundaries of storytelling. From a technical perspective, his film might inspire new apps and platforms that facilitate similar creative expressions. It’s impressive to see how traditional cinema can still be redefined through the lens of modern technology, offering fresh experiences for both creators and audiences.
