The Power

There are quite a few missdirections in this movie. And I understand if you feel like the movie might have wasted your time on certain occassions. Having said that, it is a trip (no pun intended) and if you cut it somet slack, the movie has some interesting themes and ideas.

Not everything works out perfectly, but the intentions are clear. And the message of the movie is too. Not everything that we see, is what we think it is. Sometimes we need to shed some light on it (no pun intended I think) - especially if you find yourself in the dark (alright maybe some pun intended).

Well played and acted, this is a decent horror movie, with a solid story.

In this film, a nurse on her first day has to work the overnight shift in a hospital that to conserve power during a crisis, shuts the power off throughout the night. But of-course when the lights are out, things get more interesting. Atmosphere is key here and the film does an incredible job of establishing one that's dark and increasingly more eerie as the film progresses. Some scenes take full advantage of that dynamic to generate some really creepy moments. It's a slow burn that concludes with a satisfying ending that delivers a message. Also, not to be forgotten is the performance by Rose Victoria Williams , she's does a great job.

The reviews here seem very odd and a couple look like they've been written by the same person, so I'll add some perspective.

Well acted by the lead - dark and suspenseful. I wouldn't even call this a 'slow burn' actually because all horror films need to set the scene initially and that's what this film did - the pace seemed usual.

By the halfway mark it had become quite creepy, with lots of jump scares and twisted events. The ending delivers too - it's quite clever and unexpected. On the whole, it was well written, well produced and looked great visually.

Ignore the negative reviews on here and make up your own mind - IMDB seems to be a dumping ground for negative review brigading these days and for small indpendent films like this, it can seriously skew the perspective. If you're looking for a good British horror, then it's worth a watch in my opinion.

I did enjoy it tbh, ok acting especially from the lead actress. It was abit OTT in some places but overall a good movie. Watchable and well recommended for anyone who wants abit of escapism from life and covid.

Underrated as so many Movies before . Brilliant acting, and very solid director. If i have seen this one in a theater it will be a restless one and a half hour of a scary as hell Movie. A good surprise this one.
