    Cool dark ritual film

    Fans of Rosemary's Baby and Hereditary cannot miss this powerful horror movie. Abducted and imprisoned by a cult, Magda awakens in a filthy cell. Despite hearing distant voices, her screams for help go unanswered. In time, she befriends another hostage, a girl who provides some comfort, while the cult prepare their demonic dark ritual. A compelling dark and great film made by Paul Hills with such a great cast. Valentine Pelka is marvellous as the main villain in it. So cold and calculating that he's entertaining the whole way through. Very dark ending as well which leaves the audience wanting more.

    Underrated horror cult classic. This should be winning awards.

    Watched this on Prime the other day. It's excellent! I hear that it received positive reception at Cannes Film Festival. Everyone involved in the making of this film should be honoured that they made an original fearless drama that tackles obstacles of such dark subject matters. Grace, Jonnie, Earl, Ian, Sally and of course Valentine are outstanding in this. Their performances kept me hooked and on the edge of my seat throughout most of it. Two hours well spent on this film. The negative reviews are from people who don't understand the film. Paul Hills, we hope you continue to make more films like this.

    WOW! How have I never heard of this movie??

    I checked this out really just to support an online friend of mine who has a small part in the film and I was pleasantly surprised with how good this film is! It's a low budget British indie horror film which is a slow burner character driven psychological horror about a satanic cult. I'm not usually a fan of slow burners, but the performances and very dark theme meant I never got bored and the finale was extremely dark and shocking. I highly recommend it

    This was messed up!

    The central actors, the two female leads, excellent. I bought into the story and given the acting by the two women, and their relationship, I carried on being entertained. When our lead, is so close to...okay, I can't say it but it was all good! The dialogue good, our male lead, also good. The final 2 scenes were not as strong; the ending felt rushed. It was a disappointment for me.

    I had stumbled across The Power and was surprised by it. NO, no cats were hurt in the making of this film - that, they made very obvious. Solid four star film for me. LIKE!

    Entertaining for a low budget feature

    I really enjoyed this movie. This has some fantastic actors in it. Great talented crew behind this beautiful work of art. It's a shame it never got to a dvd or Blu-ray release. Valentine Pelka is so wonderful as the villain in this feature. One of my favourite on screen villains. It wasn't just a typical horror. It has meaning behind it and overall I thought this movie is underrated. More movies like these please.

      Jess: He's a great man, my Father. He's respected and feared by thousands. Politicians, Policemen, Lords, people you see on TV every day.

      Magda: Being feared and being respected is not the same thing. It's being a bully.
