Trivia
In a newspaper, an article states that Heath asks for support against miners. This refers to the Prime Minister of UK Edward Heath. One of the measures Heath announced on December 13th, 1973 was the '3-Day-Week', which was in operation from 31 December 1973 to 7 March 1974. This was meant to reduce commercial electricity consumption by moving from a 5-day to 3-day working week and encouraging non-essential businesses to close for 4 days per week. Electricity production was limited due to strike action preventing coal deliveries to power stations and so limiting drain helped prevent total blackouts, although most households and areas across the whole UK did still experience multiple power outages during this period.

Goofs
The movie is set in 1973. A nurse reads Stephen King's book Carrie, which was first published on April 5, 1974.

Solid

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.
