Corinna Faith’s Supernatural Thriller “The Power” Lands at Shudder

"The Power"

Shudder’s got “The Power.” The streamer scored rights to the supernatural thriller for North America, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, Deadline reports.

Described as being “in the spirit of ‘The Woman in Black’ and ‘The Others,'” “The Power” marks the feature directorial debut of BAFTA nominee Corinna Faith, who also penned the script. The pic is set in 1970s London during a period of blackouts. “As striking miners switch off the power across Britain, a young nurse on her first day of duty is forced to work the night shift in a crumbling hospital where a dark presence is lurking in the walls,” the source hints.

“The Power” will premiere on Shudder in 2021. Rose Williams (“Reign”) stars.

“With ‘The Power,’ Corinna Faith has established herself as a remarkable new voice in genre cinema. We know Shudder members will be terrified by her debut feature and thrilled by Rose Williams’ star-making performance,” said Emily Gotto, Shudder’s Director of Global Acquisitions & Co-Productions.

Faith was nominated for Best Short Film at the 2007 BAFTA Awards for “Care,” which she wrote and directed. Her other credits include “The Beast” and “Ashes.”
