Presence is strongly influenced by the movies Parasite, Us and Barbarian in how the characters quite literally delve deeper, discovering subterranean passageways; this is the most literal, physical manifestation of the underworld that I can think of in modern cinema. In all of these movies, the ode to Grwek myth is apparent and, oddly, in Presence it's there more than ever when George, Freddy etc. discover the Starkweather complex. Just as in those films, the characters venture down to retrieve something or, more accurately, someone (reminiscent of Orpheus retrieving his wife), Carrie's ticket out of the Underworld is the deal she strikes with its own Pluto (Chris) to assassinate her mother.
