#LIGHTS OUT SHORT TURNED INTO MOVIE MOVIE#
While there was an attempt to add mythology and backstory to justify the feature length running time, the flick never feels like much more than a great idea for a short repeated until the movie is long enough to qualify for feature-length release. The style of scares never changes the context just gets more elaborate.Īs a result, Lights Out can feel pretty repetitive. It’s sad to see the potential of the story slip away into more obvious genre tropes, especially since the one-note nature of the central apparition ensures that there aren’t too many surprises hidden for the finale.

While James Wan provided resources and a marketable name to put on the poster, his machine gun editing and blunt-force trauma approach to jump scares thankfully don’t define the movie. Sandberg has a knack for using atmosphere and jolts to make audiences whimper. Obviously this premise suits that style perfectly and the good news is that first time filmmaker David F.
