LIGHTS OUT is a superbly directed horror movie. (BB, C, O, L, VV, S, N, DD, M) Strong moral worldview about family, courage and redemptive self-sacrifice, with light Christian symbolism about light casting out evil where good wins over evil in the end, but occult elements where demonic supernatural forces are not defeated by faith or similar supernatural means five obscenities and three profanities strong intense, scary violence includes man is killed by a demonic spirit, and his mangled body is seen all bloody, two police officers are killed (one of them with has his eyes gouged), (SPOILER) woman shoots herself to save her family from the spirit, and many moments of intense peril with scary images of the spirit’s figure in the dark implied fornication with an unmarried couple shown lying in bed, and a reference to going “another round” no explicit sexual nudity, but upper male nudity, woman is seen in undergarments, and woman changes behind a foggy glass no alcohol use no smoking but a woman has a marijuana bong in her apartment and, slighty dysfunctional family. Because of those elements and the occult, demonic villain, MOVIEGUIDE® advises extreme caution for LIGHTS OUT. LIGHTS OUT doesn’t have graphic or extreme violence, but there are a few gruesome, scary and intense moments and some brief foul language. There’s also a symbolic element of light casting out evil, which echoes what Jesus says in John 3:19 to 21. The characters do fight to protect one another, show courage and even display self-sacrifice. As far as supernatural thrillers go, however, LIGHTS OUT fails to address the supernatural problem with a supernatural solution. LIGHTS OUT accomplishes something few horror movies do: find a way to be creative and suspenseful without gratuitous violence or lewd content. Rebecca and her brother must stop Diana before she kills them and others. Now, Diana’s spirit has attached herself to Rebecca’s mother. As Rebecca investigates, she learns her mother had a mentally ill childhood friend named Diana, who died.
A young woman, Rebecca, tires to save her younger brother from a figure that lurks in the shadows of their mother’s home. LIGHTS OUT is a superbly directed horror thriller.
