The Power

Fans of Rosemary's Baby and Hereditary cannot miss this powerful horror movie. Abducted and imprisoned by a cult, Magda awakens in a filthy cell. Despite hearing distant voices, her screams for help go unanswered. In time, she befriends another hostage, a girl who provides some comfort, while the cult prepare their demonic dark ritual. A compelling dark and great film made by Paul Hills with such a great cast. Valentine Pelka is marvellous as the main villain in it. So cold and calculating that he's entertaining the whole way through. Very dark ending as well which leaves the audience wanting more.

I can already tell the film was shot on "film" just by looking at it. And I love it. But with camera specs aside, let's explain why I loved this film.

Well it's original and in its own way has a lot of importance to offer any audience. That subject is satanism. The director must have done his research on this. The script goes deep into what satanism is, how powerful it is and what kind of wingspan it has (probably in real life). But do you take it seriously? I think you should because this information wasn't made up overnight.

Cinematically, the horror scenes have been shot sort of like the 1971 film "the devils" or at least it looks like it in my opinion. Despite its own style, that's as close to a visual similarity I can think of.

I strongly recommend this film to anyone. Even if you are not a fan of horror.

Watched this on Prime the other day. It's excellent! I hear that it received positive reception at Cannes Film Festival. Everyone involved in the making of this film should be honoured that they made an original fearless drama that tackles obstacles of such dark subject matters. Grace, Jonnie, Earl, Ian, Sally and of course Valentine are outstanding in this. Their performances kept me hooked and on the edge of my seat throughout most of it. Two hours well spent on this film. The negative reviews are from people who don't understand the film. Paul Hills, we hope you continue to make more films like this.

The central actors, the two female leads, excellent. I bought into the story and given the acting by the two women, and their relationship, I carried on being entertained. When our lead, is so close to...okay, I can't say it but it was all good! The dialogue good, our male lead, also good. The final 2 scenes were not as strong; the ending felt rushed. It was a disappointment for me.

I had stumbled across The Power and was surprised by it. NO, no cats were hurt in the making of this film - that, they made very obvious. Solid four star film for me. LIKE!

This horror film was shown to me by my sister's boyfriend and I'm glad he did, cause this film was incredible. Down to the last tee! The film may be a tad long and there's a cut down YouTube version for some weird reason, considering it chops a lot of important details of the story behind. Whichever version it is, it's good regardless. It's a great and fearless story about cults and religion. Satanic topics can be controversial still in these days but try to ignore it as it's realistic and still relative even in these dark times. Acting was fantastic by everyone and they should all be stars in Hollywood.
