Great premise, strong acting and effective atmosphere completely undermined by a bland screenplay that has no faith in it's audience. The first 30 minutes of The Power is really engaging. The strong cast led by the extremely charismatic Rose Williams as Val carries the movie through the standard expository section of the plot. Unfortunately, once this ghost story gets into it's second act the movie devolves into a series of cliché's, poor plotting and heavy-handed monologues. The script is all text and zero subtext. Instead of generating a sense of the uncanny or ominous feeling, The Power leaves the audience with the impact of an after school special. Strong window dressing with all of the depth and emotional resonance of a cardboard sign on the side of the road.
