LIGHTS OUT - made me shout in the cinema !

LIGHTS OUT

Coming off from a super scary film, THE CONJURING 2, shown only last June 9, here comes another one from Warner Bros. and Director James Wann (this time as a Producer).

LIGHTS OUT is about a supernatural creature named Diana, who only lives in the dark. It sets out to terrorize a family when its existence is threaten.

Maria Bello plays the mom who is somewhat attached to Diana. Gabriel Bateman is the son who is haunted by the creature, while Teresa Palmer is the daughter who had been distressed by Diana many years before, and has since moved-out of their home. Alexander DiPersia plays the boyfriend of Teresa. Strong performances from the main  cast.

This is an excellent horror film which makes good use of our childhood fears. "Don't be afraid of the dark" - our parents used to say. I remember I used to be afraid of being left in a dark room when I was a kid. I love the way they made use of different sources of light.

LIGHTS OUT, together with THE CONJURING 2 are two of the best horror films this year. Guaranteed to make you jump out of your seats. Directed by David F. Sandberg based on a short film. Rated PG-13.
