Lights Out is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Lights Out trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. Rebecca must unlock the terror behind her little brother's experiences that once tested her sanity, bringing her face to face with a supernatural spirit attached to their mother. Teresa Palmer and Maria Bello lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2016. The performances in Lights Out do a lot of work in the silences between the dialogue. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Lights Out is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Teresa Palmer anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.
