Introduction
"The Presence" is a 1992 suspense horror-thriller television film directed by David Winning and starring Michael Kopsa, Arabella Bushnell, and Lesley Ewen. The film mainly looks into occult themes and the supernatural, merging the components of suspense, and paranormal activities to yield an unique cinematic experience.

Plot
The story of "The Presence" revolves around a household that moves into a lovely heritage home in the suburbs of a town after buying it at a surprisingly low rate. The former owner, an elderly woman has actually recently died under strange circumstances. The lead character, Mark, is a scary writer dealing with his next book and he believes the house with its disturbing and remarkable past will use a great setting for his book.

Twist and Turns
The family soon starts experiencing uncommon events, meaning a paranormal entity's presence. Mark, being a scary author, at first dismisses it as their creativity. However the frequency and strength of these strange incidents increase. Mark's better half, Caroline, and their child, Jenny, begin to hear abnormal sounds, find items out of location, and even witness disturbing apparitions.

Supernatural Involvement
The entity haunting your home ends up being increasingly belligerent, targeting Jenny. Terrified by these inexplicable encounters, Caroline seeks aid from regional townspeople, discovering your house's dark history tied to occult rituals and black magic practiced by the previous owner. On the other hand, Mark gets obsessively drawn into his unique, dismissing his household's fears as simple hallucinations.

As Caroline examines further, she discovers a much more spine-chilling truth that the house is not just haunted by the old woman but holds a much more evil existence. The lady had been practicing necromancy, attempting to summon a satanic force named "Azar", whose existence now towers above their family.

Resolution
The climax of 'The Presence' becomes a battle for survival. Caroline, with the help of a regional priest who is experienced in exorcism, fights the demonic entity to save her household. On the other hand, Mark, consumed with the spirit's impact, starts to lose touch with truth. As the scenario spirals out of control, Caroline needs to make the hardest choice for her family. The cooling finale leaves viewers in thriller as the household faces the brutal reality of their new home: a presence much more unsafe than they might ever have actually envisioned.

Total Review
"The Presence" is a perfect blend of suspense, scary, and a supernatural entity's power over an apparently typical household. The performances of the excellent cast, in addition to the brilliant instructions of David Winning, leave the audience on the edge of their seat.
