The Power

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.

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.

I checked this out really just to support an online friend of mine who has a small part in the film and I was pleasantly surprised with how good this film is! It's a low budget British indie horror film which is a slow burner character driven psychological horror about a satanic cult. I'm not usually a fan of slow burners, but the performances and very dark theme meant I never got bored and the finale was extremely dark and shocking. I highly recommend it

The Power is an excellent thriller/horror hybrid that uses the mystery of what is going on to draw the audience in and keep them invested in the film. At its heart, it is a psychological thriller built upon the shifting loyalties and hidden motivations of its central characters. When it shifts gears into more visceral horror late in the game, it does so naturally and in a way that makes complete sense within the story. A strong cast, headed by an amazing and dedicated performance by Grace Vallorani, contributes greatly to the success of the film. Those looking for a creepy, disturbing, and thought-provoking psychological horror film that does not shy away from the gore when it is called for should be sure to check out.

Nobody under 18 should see this film. Also, pet lovers, if you love cats especially, please skip this movie altogether unless you want PTSD.
