THE POWER
Stephen Carpenter & Jeffrey Obrow, USA, 1984, Multicom, Horror“A classic, old-fashioned demon possession ride.”
— Annie Choi, BLEEDING SKULL!
Undiscovered comfort-food horror from 1984, THE POWER features slasher thrills, slimy monsters, and a dude wearing a seriously tight pair of short-shorts. Three high school kids steal an Aztecan idol named Desacatyl from a professor. Naturally, they use the idol during a séance and all heck breaks loose! THE POWER is a solidly entertaining ride filled with stage fog, plot holes, and respectably awesome monster makeup effects.
