The Power

This is a slow burn, I really enjoyed the setting of the 70s, I have faint memories of hospitals being like this when I was young even though I was born in the nineties, I always found the corridors in hospitals to be eerily long, and you dont really find that anywhere else in the UK, the film is true to the time, miners strikes in the seventies if any of you remember them, the dark hallways and added supernatural scenes just add to the scare factor, I think if your older you will enjoy it as you will be able to relate and maybe remember some of these times, for the younger if your looking for quick jumps dont bother, also a decent ending to top it off, it's more a horror drama than full on horror, 6.5 out of 10 from me, reccomend.

It's 1974 London. Britain is facing union strife and power cuts. Val (Rose Williams) is a new nurse in a rundown hospital. Something scary is lurking in the blackout darkness.

I like the time and the setting. This is essentially a moody haunted house horror. Rose Williams is a perfectly fine pretty actress. It is a bit flat. The characters aren't much. There isn't much to this movie. It's fine as a B-horror.

Firstly, Rose Williams is hot as hell, even if she is quite a bit of weirdo in her role. Secondly, you're gonna realize you have seen a thousand similar ghost story but this one belongs to the better ones, creepy enough and the screenplay is well crafted. The ending is just meh...but anyway, I had a great fun watching it. Recommended!

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.

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.
