Lights Out puts a Doctor Who monster idea in the blender with well-worn tropes, and manages to remix them just enough to surprise its audience at least some of the time. The ghost on show can only exist in shadow or darkness, blinking out of existence in the light, something that's well thought-out and cleverly countered by the heroes. She is also a metaphorical representation of one character's depression, destructive in much the same way and obeying those psychological rules, though it means the ending could be... off-putting. The characters are well-drawn, though the acting is only okay, especially in expository scenes, making for a film that holds one's interest, but doesn't feel like required viewing. 7 years 8 months ago -

If they had extended the length by 10-15 minutes with a little more background story (mother / daughter relationship, a bit more depth of the mother and dianas friendship) and had more great scenes like the one at night with the neon-lights in the sister's apartment, it would have been a great thrill. But they have got much out of a small budget. 6 years 3 months ago
