IMDB Summary: When her little brother, Martin, experiences the same events that once tested her sanity, Rebecca works to unlock the truth behind the terror, which brings her face to face with an entity that has an attachment to their mother, Sophie.
Tonight's movie was one that gained a lot of popularity when it came out on social media for its super creepy trailers, Lights Out. This movie would be in the horror category for sure, with its choice of scares.
This movie is based around a mother of two children who has some mental issues. Rebecca the older daughter left the house when she started experiencing and seeing things in the house. Rebecca gets a phone call from CPS when her little brother Martin falls asleep in class every day. If an effort to get Martin out of the house Rebecca brings him to her house. They start to realize that the messed up things that are "haunting" their insane mother are just figments of their imagination. It's a real girl named Diana.
This movie started out amazing. They played on such a good fear of whats in the dark. The fact that Diana can only be seen in the dark is honestly a terrifying thing to imagine. She resembles the "Grudge girl" or the "Ring girl", with her dark figure, long black hair over her face. Every person's nightmare of an entity that creeps out from your closet or from under your bed. One that crawls, runs, and stands taller than you when you're side by side. The scares throughout this movie were fantastic. They made you jump, want to stop watching the movie, and look around the room to make sure nothing is watching with you. However, the ending ruined the movie for me.
With the ending of the movie ending Diana for good, it made me leave the movie pretty bummed and thinking about what the movie could've been. I didn't wonder if she was gonna be in my room, and if she was going to haunt me later. If you keep up with my blog then you know thats my favorite part of scary movies so because of that it definitely bumped my rating down a few points.
My Rating: 7/10
