Dave S After being falsely accused of murder, Professor Jim Tanner (George Hamilton) embarks on a search for the true killer, a colleague with an exceptionally high IQ who kills telepathically. The Power is all a bit silly, clearly, but all of the silliness pales in comparison to the outrageously ridiculous climax, a psychedelic whirlwind that can only be appreciated if you're tripping on acid. Hamilton, as always, is supremely well tanned, Suzanne Pleshette is alluring as the romantic sidekick, and…well, that's about all that it really has to offer. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Colorful supernatural thriller from producer George Pal has George Hamilton playing a scientist who discovers someone on his team has telekinetic powers and is killing off members one by one. Police investigating the first murder believe Hamilton lied about his background and is now a suspect after no one can find any evidence of his academic records. Hamilton must then figure out and stop whoever it is is using their powers to ruin his him and who is killing off his colleagues. "The Power" features some cool 1960s psychedelic special effects, a nice score by golden age composer Miklós Rózsa, a solid mystery, and a cool psychic showdown finale. Not a classic, but pretty entertaining stuff and a bit more serious than most of producer Pal's usual output. Suzanne Pleshette also appears in the film as a fellow scientist helping Hamilton.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/13/17 Full Review Audience Member Decent sci-fi on good premise but cops out at end as many do--Power corrupts!! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorites from childhood. Sure, it's cheesy, but you don't think of cheesy when you're little. This is one of the films that helped fuel my interest in surrealism Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member George Hamilton foils a killer psychic and avoids tripping over every woman in the film; the latter is the more impressive effort, as they are constantly falling all over him.
