| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineThe conclusion is unsatisfactory - indeed, it's frustrating and disappointing...By the end of the film, you'll either be confused, angry or both. |
| Toronto StarBruce DemaraA clever thriller, bolstered by three great performances. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeInstead of adding to the experience, the picture's ill-conceived twists amount to a severe miscalculation on Cortes' part. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAs a sinister ESP showman, Robert De Niro is corny and fun. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovIf you care at all about intelligent genre cinema that doesn't paint by numbers, you've got to buy a ticket to 'Red Lights', warts and all. |
| eFilmCritic.comErik ChildressThis is the second horror subgenre that Cortes has injected fresh life into and no matter what side of the debate you come down on in Red Lights, you cannot deny that he is a talent worth anticipating. |
