Lights Out (2016)
Directed by David F.
Sandberg this film stars Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Maria Bello
and Alexander DiPersia. A woman helps her younger brother deal with
the monster their mother is bringing into the family house.
Taking a clumsy
monster as mental illness metaphor this film ends by suggesting those
with problems can protect their families by killing themselves which
is pretty messed up. Wheeling out simple horror tricks the film is
not too bad but the underlying implications are not cool. At times it
also shows that this is a short film stretched out to feature length
as there is not a lot to the plot.
2/5
