Movie Review: Lights Out

In New Line Cinema's “Lights Out,” a tale of an unknown terror that lurks in the dark.

Right after watching "Lights Out" I think I have to sleep with the lights on tonight.

The film has this eerie overall feel that connects to the natural human impulse of being scared of the dark. What we love about this film is that it offered a simple yet effective way of playing with the emotions of the audience by just giving a small glimpse of what truly is doing the heartless killongs in the film. What we don't see and fully understand truly makes us more uncomfortable and worried. 

The masterful placements of aounds interplaying with unexpected camera angles adds to the rush "Lights Out" has given to its viewers. Watchibg the movoe in Dolby Athmos truly heighted the viewing experience (and the fright, indeed)

A very ontimate number of cast, well developed in the film was truly helpful. It gave the film a very close relationship to the audience. Several times the cinema audience was even screaming and creating noise before the characters in the film.

A frightful and exciting perspective of seeing shadows in the dark, this film has raised shivers down my spine several times
