The Power
Directed by Corinna Faith
London, 1974. As Britain prepares for electrical blackouts to sweep across the country, trainee nurse Val arrives for her first day at the crumbling East London Royal Infirmary. With most of the patients and staff evacuated to another hospital, Val is forced to work the night shift in the empty building. Within these walls lies a deadly secret, forcing Val to face her own traumatic past in order to confront the malevolent force that’s intent on destroying everything around her. A SHUDDER EXCLUSIVE.

When I saw this a while back, I kept thinking how creepy it would be to work in a hospital with darkened corridors. It reminded me also of Fragile (2005), though I think The Power is spookier. There have been many films and series about haunted asylums and killers running amuck in places that are supposed to heal. Yet, the hidden murder case, to me, seemed secondary to the atmospheric dread this movie cinveyed.
Sometimes it maybe good!
great
Probably the scariest part of this movie is how the inspiration is based in reality. Take the supernatural aspect out and it's still a horror story- the ghost, however, does allow for a bit of satisfying revenge for the abused, the ignored, and the silenced. Loved it personally.
Great film, I wish they had developed the possession part a bit more. But it’s believeable and keeps your attention
