I just had a coffee yet this movie had its way to put me to sleep. That's the power! The Power doesn't offer anything different or fresh to the genre. I'd say it's just too similar, it's tiring. It's a blend between psychological and supernatural. It has a typical setting for a horror movie, hospital and darkness which successfully create the grim and chilling atmosphere. Set in 1974, it uses the electrical black-out led by the government which really happen at that time in attempt to elevate its mediocre premise and predictable twist. It relies on how well can you see in the dark technique and some cheap jumpscares to scare the audience. Rose Williams and Shakira Rahman played the role quite well. It has a great message about the abuse of power but it's not as genuine and powerful as it's intended. Like it's a last minute thing and they just put it there. Unfortunately, I didn't really enjoy this one.

Not particularly scary though it is topical. There is more than the supernatural power at play here, and the real meaning behind the title will resonate more than the ghost within the darkness.

The premise is good, but the execution is uneven. The performances are good and help to hold the movie up a little. Everything starts off very slowly, almost sleepily, in the second act everything gets very interesting and dark, but the hooks for the final act, are quite predictable, with many clichés, ends up getting a little lost and weakening the movie more.

I'm an absolute sucker for "underlying meaning" horror movies where the true message trying to be conveyed is veiled in the usual horror movie tropes and set pieces. The Power goes completely the other way with the underlying message being delivered so heavy handedly it completely overtakes the horror element of the movie. It completely forgot everything to do with a ghost haunting this hospital wing by the twenty minute mark when it makes abundently clear that this is a message piece about sexual abuse and the voiceless female victims who are silenced and ignored by the powers that be. I enjoyed the setting of the 70s blackouts which is unique in this heavily saturated genre, but the clunky message delivery ruined everything this movie had going for it. A shame, because I think with some refinement and a more deft hand, this could have been much better than the final product we got. Not a great start to Spooptober, we can only go up from here...right? :sweat_smile:

Great premise, strong acting and effective atmosphere completely undermined by a bland screenplay that has no faith in it's audience. The first 30 minutes of The Power is really engaging. The strong cast led by the extremely charismatic Rose Williams as Val carries the movie through the standard exp More
