I recently found out that one of my friends has a pseudonymous Substack where she irreverently writes about horror films. This isn't my usual genre but when I watched the Lucy Liu-starring Presence, what really scared me wasn't any of the spectral goings on, but the fact that an Asian family wore shoes in the house.

The first part of this piece recaps the plot, but if you haven't seen the film already, my contribution is free of spoilers. Scroll down about halfway through. This was a fun one to write!
