There's not much info on actor Eddy Maday to be found online but he's handsome, right? That shot comes via his Insta here, where every other post is about his literal only credit on IMDb, Steven Soderbergh's haunted house movie Presence which is out in theaters today. Anyway playing one of four leads in a Soderbergh movie is a pretty solid foot in the door so good for him -- it's just a shame I didn't like Presence when I saw it at Sundance last year! Here is my re-upped from 12 months ago review, which is why we're really here. I'm usually very on board whatever Soderbergh does but I don't think -- outside of momentary Slasher POV shots -- I can ever get behind first-person camera-work (see also: Nickel Boys), I just find it eternally distracting and distancing. Even if it's a ghost! But that's not Presence's only fault, to my mind -- the last act is needlessly over complicated, scrambling to make sense where it's a ghost story's job to make us feel haunted instead. Whatever, most people seem to like it. I'm an outlier on this one!
