•
Some Californian teenagers accidentally come into possession of a mysterious statuette, seemingly harmless. The object, which contains the evil essence of a powerful idol, mysteriously comes to life unleashing an endless chain of horrors. Directed by the little-known Stephen Carpenter (who probably chose this name to make his films more "visible") "The Power" is the classic TV horror movie without infamy or praise. A not very original subject, discreet actors, and a continuous sense of déjà-vu are the characterizing elements of this film. Negligible.
