    A British Horror Pearl

    Underrated as so many Movies before . Brilliant acting, and very solid director. If i have seen this one in a theater it will be a restless one and a half hour of a scary as hell Movie. A good surprise this one.

    atmospheric location

    It's 1974 London. Britain is facing union strife and power cuts. Val (Rose Williams) is a new nurse in a rundown hospital. Something scary is lurking in the blackout darkness.

    I like the time and the setting. This is essentially a moody haunted house horror. Rose Williams is a perfectly fine pretty actress. It is a bit flat. The characters aren't much. There isn't much to this movie. It's fine as a B-horror.

    Solid

    In this film, a nurse on her first day has to work the overnight shift in a hospital that to conserve power during a crisis, shuts the power off throughout the night. But of-course when the lights are out, things get more interesting. Atmosphere is key here and the film does an incredible job of establishing one that's dark and increasingly more eerie as the film progresses. Some scenes take full advantage of that dynamic to generate some really creepy moments. It's a slow burn that concludes with a satisfying ending that delivers a message. Also, not to be forgotten is the performance by Rose Victoria Williams , she's does a great job.

    A Nurse in a Dark Hospital

    I didn't find this movie very engaging or memorable. There were some things well done about it--it builds slowly and has lots of atmosphere--but overall, it's the ending that let me down. I wanted to appreciate the metaphor, but it was a bit heavy handed. And only a short while after watching, I have to strain to remember details. I don't really recommend this movie, even if you think you might appreciate the socio-political undertones.

    Not bad!!!

    I did enjoy it tbh, ok acting especially from the lead actress. It was abit OTT in some places but overall a good movie. Watchable and well recommended for anyone who wants abit of escapism from life and covid.

    • Trivia
      In a newspaper, an article states that Heath asks for support against miners. This refers to the Prime Minister of UK Edward Heath. One of the measures Heath announced on December 13th, 1973 was the '3-Day-Week', which was in operation from 31 December 1973 to 7 March 1974. This was meant to reduce commercial electricity consumption by moving from a 5-day to 3-day working week and encouraging non-essential businesses to close for 4 days per week. Electricity production was limited due to strike action preventing coal deliveries to power stations and so limiting drain helped prevent total blackouts, although most households and areas across the whole UK did still experience multiple power outages during this period.
    • Goofs
      The movie is set in 1973. A nurse reads Stephen King's book Carrie, which was first published on April 5, 1974.
