The Power - 2021 - 6/10

New nurse, rather nurse trainee, Valerie (“Call me Val”) starts at the ward, bright eyed, idealistic.
She grew up in this hard luck borough, understand.
Actually, in the orphanage nearby.
She understands deprivation. Dark is another matter.
And in 1974 Britain, there are trade union strikes and the power goes off at 7:00 PM.
This probably goes under the subset of Medical Horror, though this is more a haunting.
Much better than indicated on review sites, I was tempted to tally an extra point.
Except for the music which is loud and intrusive, dominating throughout.
