Rose Williams Talks ‘The Power’ And Its Message To Women In An Interview

This April, writer-director Corinna Faith‘s (The Innocents) The Power will premiere exclusively on Shudder. Ahead of its release, we sat down with the oh-so-talented lead actress Rose Williams to discuss the film (which we gave a glowing review), its making, and its important messages. Rose, who has also starred in films such as Curfew, A Quiet Passion, Misfits, and the Netflix original series “Medici,” absolutely nailed her role in The Power, delivering a powerful and emotional performance that left me impressed. So of course, I had to talk to her. In the film, 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

Shudder’s horror anthology The Mortuary Collection, directed by Ryan Spindell is heading to Blu-ray this April. We took a look and this is what we have to say. A creepy old man oversees the funeral of a young boy. When the family leaves a stranger enters the mortuary, a young woman. As the two talk, she inquires about the help wanted sign outside. But before he can get into the details of the job she asks for a story. Over the film, he shares three terrifying tales filled with blood and murder.
