I was so pleased with how unpredictable the film was, even playing with some classic horror ideas and twisting them.

As much as you try to prepare yourself for all the scares, you never fully are. The film does that often, playing with various lights and shadows. There’s something so terrifying about the simple silhouette. The film wastes no time getting straight to the scares as we get introduced to the creature in a scene that pays tribute to the original short. But soon, she discovers there’s something truly evil that’s attached itself to her family. Knowing her mother’s history, Rebecca dismisses it as severe depression. Something his mother seems to be speaking to. He can’t sleep as something is lurking around in the night. With her stepfather’s passing, a young woman named Rebecca (Teresa Palmer) reluctantly reconnects with her estranged mother (Maria Bello) after her younger brother expresses concern. And after watching it, you’ll definitely want a flashlight by your bed.

Sandberg, the film follows a creature that only thrives in the dark. Based on a 2013 short film by director David F. There have been movies that played with Nyctophobia, a severe fear of the dark, but I haven’t seen one that truly terrified me as much as Lights Out.
