Shudder Picks Up The Supernatural Horror Film THE POWER
AMC’s horror streaming service Shudder has picked up all rights to the British supernatural horror film The Power.
The film is described as being in the same vein as The Woman in Black and The Others. The story is set in 1970s London during a period of blackouts. “As striking miners switch off the power across Britain, a young nurse on her first day of duty is forced to work the night shift in a crumbling hospital where a dark presence is lurking in the walls.”
Sounds like a fun horror story! This film marks the feature directorial debut of writer and director Corinna Faith (The Innocents) and it stars Rose Williams (Reign, Curfew, Medici and Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris). Emily Gotto, Shudder’s Director of Global Acquisitions & Co-Productions said in a statement:
“With The Power, Corinna Faith has established herself as a remarkable new voice in genre cinema. We know Shudder members will be terrified by her debut feature and thrilled by Rose Williams’ star-making performance.”
The producers of the film, Matthew James Wilkinson (Yesterday) and Rob Watson (Italian Studies), added:
“We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Shudder on The Power. The team at Shudder’s passion for genre is unparalleled, and we can’t wait to share the film with their equally devoted audience”.
The Power will premiere on Shudder in 2021.
