A lightly metaphysical body count movie set primarily in a beat-up recreational vehicle, it meanders more than it purposefully goes anywhere. That’s a compliment, mostly.

Rated: 2.5/4

Horror thriller fans looking for a good scare probably need to catch another ride. This one has too many problems to justify taking the road trip.

Rated: 3/10

It’s hard to doubt that some of the film’s effectiveness was the unintentional result of a very low budget.

... takes itself too seriously instead of leaning into the campy absurdity.

Don't Turn Out the Lights pays respect to well-trodden horror tropes whilst at the same time subverting them, creating a wicked movie that could sit alongside Bodies, Bodies, Bodies and Talk to Me in the pantheon of new modern teen centric horror.

Rated: 4/5

I really dug this movie for the most part. Some parts were a bit overacted.

It was such a random movie a demonic supernatural movie mostly centred around an RV ... there was barely any horror there was a bit of blood but the kills was off screen I didn't hate the cast I reckon they did a good job but could've been better it felt like I knew what was gonna happen during the film very predictable

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

I think what they should have done is increase the amount of possibilities 10 fold and it might’ve turned out to be an ok thriller comedy.

This movie was about the fear of the unknown, the gaps between our reality and imagination. It highlights all of our collective fears. I believe characters were meant to put on a fake (almost too happy) face in the beginning to reel us in to the seriousness at the end. Let’s be honest we put on our best face for friends, and this movie challenges taking off that mask. It forces characters to make hard decisions and this is what defines us in the end. Death leads to another dimension, and that is terrifying for our minds to understand. This movie has depth if you are willing to find it. Definitely worth a watch if you like thriller movies with some eerie scenes.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Has alot of typical horror movie tropes but fails to truly execute any of them. It feels like this movie wasn't sure what it wanted to be and got lost trying to be to much.

Terrible over-acting, lousy writing. Just poorly done in general. I was actually looking forward to watching an eerie thriller and this was a major letdown. Didn't finish it, the plot was too incohesive.
