THE STORY
ON THEIR 2010 TOUR, AN INTERNATIONAL POP STAR AND BAND MATES MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR. AS PAST AND PRESENT MERGE, THEY FIND THEMSELVES SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS AND FIGHTING FOR MORE THAN JUST THEIR OWN LIVES WHEN A CONCEALED INDUSTRY IS REVEALED.
“DAYS OF POWER IS A HELL OF A NEW FILM. REMINDS ME OF GREAT HORROR FLICKS FROM THE 70’S LIKE STRAW DOGS OR DELIVERANCE…SWIFT, VISCERAL AND ALWAYS UNPREDICTABLY OSCILLATING BETWEEN BEAUTY AND BRUTALITY.”
SEAN LYNCH –MTV
“IT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF A THRILL RIDE FROM START TO FINISH, THAT ALSO BROUGHT TO LIGHT A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT, IT IS A HUGE REALITY CHECK.”
KRISTYN CLARKE–POP CULTURE MADNESS
