About This Movie
The Man with the Power is this curious little TV movie from the mid-70s that dives deep into the mystical. Boysie, who discovers he has 'second sight', takes a rather surreal journey that plays with themes of belief and skepticism, especially with the reactions from Gloria and Brian. The pacing is a bit uneven, which can sometimes lend itself to an odd but engaging atmosphere. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, pull off the supernatural elements with a certain charm. The performances are earnest, especially as Boysie grapples with his newfound abilities, and there's something distinctly eerie about the way the film portrays the spiritual journey. It’s one of those hidden gems that stick with you for its oddball premise.
The Man with the Power has a certain rarity that makes it intriguing for collectors. It's not widely discussed, yet it showcases a unique blend of supernatural themes and 70s TV aesthetics. Finding it on VHS or DVD can be quite the hunt, as it hasn’t seen many re-releases. Its distinctive premise and atmosphere draw in a niche audience, making it a worthwhile piece for those interested in the more obscure corners of TV film history.
