The Power (2021)

"The Power" (2021) is a British supernatural horror film set in 1970s London during electrical blackouts. It follows Valerie, a trainee nurse who is assigned her first night shift at a rundown hospital. During the power outages, she encounters a sinister and supernatural presence linked to a haunting tied to the hospital’s dark secrets, including cover-ups of abuse and harassment.
