Val has to work his first night shift, in the year of our Lord 1974, in a hospital on the delicate border of insalubrity. The striking miners have just planned to cut off the power to the entire country, and an evil presence seems to be lurking in the establishment.

Anyone paying attention will notice that one of the heroine's colleagues is reading Stephen King's Carrie. Corinna Faith not only knows her classics, but she also knows how to use them effectively, to subvert them, to take them in a direction to turn them on their head. The Power plays the watch before revealing the polysemy of its title, it revisits all the classics of haunted house, possession, horror in a closed place. And once its real intentions are exposed, the action doesn't rely on the surprise effect but shifts into an even more horrific dimension.
