How every film is hand-scored →

A man returns to his father's cabin where he spent a good part of his childhood and where his younger sister drowned.

Our read · Presencias (2022) reads as a heavy, steady, inventive horror entry — extreme in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
