The Power, Corinna Faith’s haunted hospital creeper, hinges on such a richly atmospheric historical context that it’s a wonder it hasn’t been used as the backdrop for more horror. Set in 1974 London, the action takes place during a period known as The Three-Day Week––a time when the government-mandated power outages (and imposed other restrictions) to combat the lack of resources caused by widespread mine strikes. Faith’s film leverages both the physical realities of these blackouts and the class-based anger of the moment for maximum effect. It eventually resorts to well-intentioned but inelegant info dumps to reach its climax, but the tactile environments and direct filmmaking separates it from most films of its ilk.

The story centers around Valerie (Rose Williams), a first day nurse who’s been having nightmares related to an unclear trauma, and has a comically unlucky fear of the dark. Raised in an orphanage,...

In 1973, beset by a labor crisis that led striking miners to upend the coal industry (and thus most of the country’s power supply), Britain decided to conserve what power they were still able to generate with a wild idea: planned electricity cuts. Between New Year’s Eve 1973 and early March 1974, the country periodically shut off most of its power in the dead of night, leaving its cold and scared citizens desperate for morning. First-time feature filmmaker Corinna Faith sets “The Power” inside this strange, scary bit of history and

Young nurse Val (Rose Williams) hates the power cuts, popping out of bed each morning to turn on every light in her tiny flat, and we soon learn that her fears go far beyond the usual darkness. When we meet Val, it’s early January, cold and terribly bleak, but it’s also her first day at work at the East London Royal Infirmary,...

When did you last hear characters in a horror film talking about trade unions? It's strange that it's rare, when you think about it, because there's usually safety in numbers. One person might be weak alone but when they form the right alliances, they can have power. This idea goes to the heart of Corinna Faith's film, but the alliances don't necessarily develop where you might expect them to.

Young Val (Rose Williams) is quickly disabused of the notion of nursing as a sisterhood when she starts her first day at a busy hospital. The Matron (Diveen Henry) is strict to the point of scaring her a little, whilst staff on her own level are constantly vying with one another. One of them, shameless social climber Babs (Emma Rigby), knows a little about her past in the local orphanage, and soon people are muttering about her reputation and the supposedly awful.

Shudder has unveiled a new trailer for the upcoming horror from Corinna Faith, ‘The Power’.

London, 1974. As Britain prepares for electrical blackouts to sweep across the country, trainee nurse Val (Rose Williams) arrives for her first day at the crumbling East London Royal Infirmary. With most of the patients and staff evacuated to another hospital, Val is forced to work the night shift, finding herself in a dark, near-empty building. Within these walls lies a deadly secret, forcing Val to face both her own traumatic past and deepest fears in order to confront the malevolent force that’s intent on destroying everything around her.

Written and directed by Corinna Faith, the film stars Rose Williams, Shakira Rahman, Charlie Carrick, Diveen Henry, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Nuala McGowan, Emma Rigby, Theo Barklem-Biggs.

Once Upon A Time in Wonderland has landed on Disney+.

Now that everybody has had the chance to binge it, let's discuss a truth universally acknowledged by all those who have seen both spinoff and original series:

Will Scarlet was screwed over!

Will was the best part of Once Upon A Time in Wonderland. No disrespect to Alice, Anastasia, Jafar, or even Cyrus.

We love Alice. She's a badass!

Anastasia had a beautiful arc, and she's a beautiful person inside and out.

Jafar was scary as F*#*@!

And while Cyrus was no Prince Charming, he had a charm all his own.

But let's not kid ourselves. Wonderland would not have been half as enjoyable without a certain thief.

The Knave of Hearts, Aka Will Scarlet, started as comic relief. He helped Alice, and we thought he might be in a love triangle with Alice and Cyrus. 

Instead, we got the...

Once upon an ABC schedule, Adam Horowitz and Edward Ktisis wrote a little show about fairy tales. Once Upon A Time spanned seven seasons, and at least three of them were really good!

While that last good season, Once Upon A Time Season 3 was airing, Horowitz and Kitsis made another show set in the Onceverse: Once Upon A Time in Wonderland.

Once Upon A Time in Wonderland only lasted one season, but for thirteen glorious episodes, it was one of the best things on TV. Being so short, it never made it to DVD, and it hasn't been on a streaming service in eons. Now, finally, it's coming to Disney+ this month!

As a die-hard fan of Wonderland, imagine my surprise when this news was met with equal surprise. Why you ask? Because a lot of fans of Once Upon A Time never even knew there was a spinoff.

I was shocked,...

When Ronald Beavis (Iain Stuart Robertson) is found dead by his landlady, the circumstances don’t initially suggest foul play. The deceased’s heart and liver were in poor shape, as DeBryn finds out when he performs the autopsy; either of those could have been the end of the retired policeman, but something doesn’t seem quite right.

Imagine The Inbetweeners starring in a low-rent Brit imitation of American Hustle, having first undergone a collective personality transplant. Whatever's now in your head is probably still wittier and more charming than Julian Gilbey's inane heist movie Plastic, which sees four student fraudsters get in over their heads after stealing from the wrong Polish mobster.

The young cast are all appealing enough for you to overlook just what shallow archetypes they're playing - there's the brains (Ed Speleers), the arsehole (Alfie Allen), the stalwart (Will Poulter) and the sap (Sebastian De Souza), none of whom have much in the way of a backstory or, weirdly, a family. But what they do have is an impressive sideline in credit card fraud; they clone cards,...

This evening London found itself at the mercy of another Premiere – this time it was Julian Gilbey’s frauds with benefits caper, Plastic, which hit town in fine style.

Emma Rigby, Will Poulter, Ed Speelers, Sebastian de Souza and Alfie Allen are our cast for this comedy with a mob boss, £2million and a hearty dose of laddish behaviour propelling the narrative.

Ben Mortimer and Colin Hart were on the red carpet this evening. Here’s what happened…

Plastic is based on a true story where a gang of friends managed to infiltrate one of the biggest credit card companies in the World and pull off one of the biggest and most audacious Diamond Heists ever committed in British History. Plastic is Catch Me If You Can meets The Italian Job.

Though Julian Gilbey’s comedy caper Plastic is somewhat undemanding, easy to indulge in entertainment, that’s all thanks to the exhilarating narrative at hand. Though given this quite incredible set of events are based on a true story, it means that writer Gilbey, joined by his brother Will and Chris Howard – cannot truly take the credit, as the film’s concept had been born out of genuine events. Ultimately, in this instance, it’s the execution of the story that is the film’s very undoing.

Close friends Sam (Ed Speleers) and Fordy (Will Poulter) may just be students, but they run a fledging criminal enterprise, making a lot of money from stealing from the more affluent members of society and big corporations, through credit card fraud and the marketing of stolen goods. Having persuaded both Yatesey (Alfie Allen) and Rafa (Sebastian De Souza) to join in with their illegal activity,...

Featuring a talented young cast including Ed Speleers, Will Poulter, Alfie Allen, Sebastian De Souza and Emma Rigby, upcoming heist drama Plastic centres on a ring of university students who become credit card thieves in order to augment their income. When the group accidentally rob a notorious gangster, they are forced to up their game to pay him back 10 times the amount they stole. After travelling to Miami, the group set their sights on a daring jewellery heist that could not only cover their debt but also make them filthy rich.

This crazy story of money, sex and action is based on the real-life exploits of Saqib Mumtaz, a Manchester student who – along with his friends – targeted high-profile victims such as Saudi Arabian arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi and former model and then-wife of Mohammed al Fayed, Heini Fayed with a credit card scam.

Debuting last October, the show's premiere drew a 1.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.82 million viewers. That was a mediocre start at best and then, the ratings saw a significant drop in week two. The numbers have continued to fall over the course of the season.

Generally speaking, one doesn't look to British films for glamour. Old-school class, perhaps. Grit and grime, sure. But Plastic is attempting to add a little more of the sort of sun-soaked, high-living style we associate with our Us cousins to this crime thriller, so you might want to don sunglasses before you check out this trailer. The film sees Ed Speleers' Sam and Will Poulter's Fordy running a credit card scam, along with mates Yatesey (Alfie Allen) and Sebastian De Souza's Rafa. But wouldn't you know it, they get on the wrong side of the wrong man (Thomas Kretschmann) and find themselves forced to come up with a lot of money very fast. We suspect that the presence of Emma Rigby's Frankie in their corner will help, from the looks of this trailer, but we'll have to wait and see on that score. Also starring Graham McTavish...

It is a timeless theme in modern storytelling, dating back to Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers, but one that remains urgently current because it serves as a rite of passage for everyone in every generation.

This Valentine’s Day, one young couple will fight against all odds for love.
