The Power elegantly knits together atmospheric terrors and institutional ones, providing a reminder that it's not always the things that go bump in the night that are the true threat.

An eerie chiller...great soundtrack, but the thing it really gets right is that it has its own atmosphere.

| May 10, 2021

The movie's period spookiness and its #MeToo outrage have virtually nothing to do each with other, diminishing the efficacy of both and making it feel like a tract.

| Original Score: C | Apr 13, 2021

The Power is a masterclass of the contemporary feminist horror film, a movie that simultaneously looks back at the past to tell us urgent, important and, yes, some extremely uncomfortable truths about our present.

"The Power" is built on subtle elements, but the director's more ambitious jumps are just as electrifying.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 9, 2021

A ruthlessly efficient screenplay is realized with vision and viciousness.

| Apr 9, 2021

"Power" is smart, scary and angry as hell - a potent mix.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2021

[W]hile Williams and Faith do a fine job of capturing the frustrating powerlessness of a low-wage-earning woman in a sexist and classist society, "The Power" never generates much in the way of shocks or excitement.

| Apr 8, 2021

The peculiarity of the setting and the overall mood make it worth an evening watch.

| Apr 8, 2021

Most of the items on [its] formulaic checklist are used well enough, but none of them are surprising or so well-realized that they're still compelling.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 8, 2021

The film stumbles in delivering a cohesive vision.

| Apr 8, 2021

Smart special effects, atmospheric visuals and an impressive physical performance from Williams enhance this timely ghost story but the horror doesn't hit as hard as the rages against misogyny.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2021

A raw and painful watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2021

Faith uses a familiar period ghost story as a foundation to create an emotionally powerful tale full of claustrophobic dread and nyctophobic-induced scares.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 6, 2021

There's a dark, enticing world at play in the Stygian gloom of a rambling Victorian-era East End hospital at night which will be a calling card for Faith and her players.
