Leave your thoughts about Lights Out.
| UproxxKeith PhippsAs a scare machine, however, Lights Out works like gangbusters, especially once all the main characters are gathered under one roof. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperEven the most cynical, jaded, seen-it-all-before critic cannot deny certain visceral reactions to a film. Lights Out gave me the chills. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfSandberg effectively stages suspense from start to finish, giving "Lights Out" the disturbances it needs to cover for uninspired dramatics. Then again, who's coming to this film for the story? |
| Portland MercuryAndrew WrightContains more than enough flickeringly lit yelps to justify its existence. How many variations can be successfully run on the same gag? Quite a few, as it turns out. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanFor a movie that relies so heavily on a single, not especially groundbreaking visual effect — now you see the bogeyman, now you don’t — Lights Out is crazy scary. |
| Fresno BeeRick BentleySell all your stocks immediately and invest in companies that make candles, flashlights, light bulbs or anything else that creates illumination. There's going to be a run on those items with the release of Lights Out. |
| Dread CentralSteve "Uncle Creepy" BartonLights Out is an experience that reminds you why you love horror movies. |
| Rendy ReviewsRendy JonesBrings an inspirational short film and expands the story to a creative and rather frightening full feature experience for all audiences. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonIt seems to rely way too much on the horror genre cliche handbook, which ultimately leaves the tension at a minimum when it should have been much more. |
| Globe and MailBrad WheelerBest of all, it’s tight at 81 minutes, which means a 7 p.m. screening gets you out of the theatre while it’s still light out, thank God. |
