The Power - Avis

Smart special effects, atmospheric visuals and an impressive physical performance from Williams enhance this timely ghost story...

...this film is a real screw-tightener, ingeniously set during the miners’ strike in January 1974. What could be scarier than the lights going out in a Victorian hospital in the dead of night?

...scares come easily in a pitch-black abandoned hospital filled with creepy weirdos...
