I thought it was some weird out of place nod to Polanski's 'Revulsion.'
4:26 "Grandmother kills entire family... 8 dead! Relatives upset" What, were they upset they weren't included? And if it was the entire family then WHAT relatives? Did she kill someone else's family? And who puts ellipses into headlines?! What's going on?!!

Maybe the family she was loving with? Like how my aunt used to live with me and my family
Adding in the Simpson's cut to this video was absolutely fantastic! I laughed out loud at work at this.
I love that "The Simpsons" insert at 9:29, one of my favorite episodes of that show ever ("Fat don't fail me now!"). Ha ha, this film seems like a trip, although that Icon sure knows how to get around (maybe it's its own trip, I suppose).

@Kamran Baxter Thanks for the title; lately I've been thinking about the episode 'Special Edna' when Bart said he'd get Mrs. Krabappel for Principal Skinner, and he'd even do it pro boner (Skinner: "It's pro bono". Bart: "I know what I said"). The author Stuart Woods used that phrase in one of his Stone Barrington novels that I just read ; "Unintended Consequences" I think the book is called.

My Canadian university did, it was just part of the 1st yr Mythology elective. It was a really cool examination of the evolution of religions, shared/modified religious iconography, and how religions changed as they expanded into different areas with unique preexisting beliefs systems.

You know you are a horror nerd when you hear the phrase "The Power was directed by Jeffrey Obrow and Stephen Carpenter" and you immediately think "Aren't those the guys who made The Dorm That Dripped Blood?" Guilty!😏
Yes! Vanguard for the Atari 2600 commercial! My day just started, and it's already complete.
Don’t forget the part when the characters use the Power to get raises and send baby ducks and soda machines that don’t work to the Moon.

That suit in the desert guy was like someone made a person out of how i feel like i look in a suit.
Goodbadflicks I found a Hidden Gem of a action movie Called Hard Rain in the U.S. and in other countries is called the Flood. It stars Christian Slater Morgan Freeman and Minnie Driver it has very well pace stunts and action almost all of it is done in camera it is very straightforward no stupid side plot or romance. I was shocked that I never heard of this and no one else has because it failed at the box office with a budget of 70 million and made at a time in the 90s where you see the budget on screen with very little digital effects almost everything is practical! I highly recommend it. A perfect movie to have behind the scene feature s with all the sets and stunts and water damage but I cannot find any.

One of the greatest movie posters ever made. That’s a true work of art.
This felt like an anthology that had no connectors between the stories.

Putting in work this month I see. Love the channel
Just watched this and it was damn good. It did explain how the girl at the end got the power because after she kills the crippled guy she takes out her necklace which has the head of the idol. I also love how none of the women wore bras in films of this era. They're the gift that just keeps on giving.
Thanks for another great review I missed this one now I have to watch it
Nice recommendation, Cecil! I will definitely have to check this out! Speaking of the Tomb & the Kindred. Would you ever consider doing an exploring episode over either of them?
I liked the director's The Kindred. Hopefully you'll cover that film soon. Creatures bursting out of watermelon glory!
I thought this was going to be Lou Diamond Phillips' 1987 horror movie The Power, but was still psyched because this looks hilarious, and you always make everything so fun, Cecil!

Love that 80’s cheese. It looks like a lot of clay was used in this movie.
I studied archaeology, and no lessons ever opened this way.
Had to stop the video and comment. The addition of Homer from The Simpsons was hilarious; it matched perfectly.
Friend zones himself was hilarious. You should do Evil Ed btw.

Aww, I thought this was going to be for the 1968 film The Power. Pre-cursor to Scanners with possible influence on even a movie like Altered States. Very underrated and practically forgotten...any chance I could talk you into doing that one this year? (your review for the '84 film is entertaining & informative as usual...just was hoping someone other than me discovered the older George Hamilton film)
Was the Grimm TV show not popular? Stephen Carpenter was one of its creators. At any rate, another great one!
Thought you were talking about the 1968 film "The Power" with George Hamilton and Suzanne Pleshette, about a killer that uses telekinesis. But this was a fun watch.
Another must see.
was waiting for your new upload amidst all this viruses.

There is another movie which title is The Power. Made in 1968, directed by Byron Haskin and produced by George Pal (starring Michael Rennie, Susan Pleshette and George Hamilton). The script is about people with psychic abilities! Ain't it crazy?
feels like a precursor to 976-Evil

I'm glad this generation has been looking back at movies from the 70s and 80s. Dispite how much money today's cinamea brings in, it always seems like it's based off something dreamed up from back then. Kinda sad in a way but also rewarding for us boomers. I never saw this one. That being said, it almost feels like, based upon your synopsis, the movie does have a main character: it's just that instead of a person, its the idol instead. Those jump cuts in time certianly do mess up the pace of the movie. Still thanks for uploading!
Seeing the movie Species made me think, will you do a Species GBF? I really liked the movie.
The Boxcar Children font!
Do The Tomb! You always reference it
I'm surprised you guys haven't covered Wrong Turn yet. It's one of the best bad horror franchises out there.
I checked my VHS collection to see if I have The Power. I do not have The Power. He-Man is disappoint.

all of those people calling it a Planchette, are right and wrong,.. because thats just the piece of material that holds the important part, the Oculus.. in fact, this device is called an "Oculus Planchette". it is the Eye that is charged, not the board itself or the planchette, the Oculus is the only one of the items used in Ouija that has "charge" which is why it was always made of polished crystal, not glass or plastic, and the boards themselves could be blessed as to not retain the spirit's energy since the boards were often carved into Marble or Granite. the Oculus was placed into a setting on the planchette before use but was kept in a dark cloth bag separate from the other items. These reasons are why the modern day Ouija boards only work when someone wants to mess with you lol
