Calvin O ***SPOILERS*** Lights out is one of those movie concepts that sounds really interesting on paper, but falls flat on its face and breaks its nose as soon as it starts moving. It's a jump-scare filled slug that fails to impress, featuring a boring cast with no real personality, illogical decisions to try and make you jump, and a monster that doesn't even follow her own rules. The massive problem is the star of the movie itself: Piana. She's an evil woman that follows the mother of two kids, and relies on the mother suffering to survive her self. The problem with Diana is that she breaks her own rules all the bloody time. One moment she needs people to open the doors for herself, the next she's teleporting around like she's a god. In the next moment she might disappear when you flash a light at her, or she might decide to stand there and burn while screaming her lungs out. Diana herself doesn't seem to have any real goal other than being a jerk. She needs the mother to be depressed or she disappears #supposedly but then decides to hunt her kids when they're trying to avoid her, which in theory she should be grateful for. Diana is also about as subtle as a Train wreck. Whenever she appears the music blats your ears in an attempt to scare you, but when you close your ears since it's always easy to predict where she will be* and just look at the scene, you realize Diana is about as scary as Mickey Mouse with fangs. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/25 Full Review Dustin T Lights Out is one of those rare modern horror films that manages to be both simple in concept and highly effective in execution. Directed by David F. Sandberg, the movie expands on his viral short film and brings to life a terrifying creature that only appears in the dark. The characters are fairly grounded for a horror film. Teresa Palmer gives a believable performance as a protective sister trying to keep her family safe, and the family dynamic adds weight to the scares. The creature itself, Diana, is both eerie and tragic once her backstory is revealed, which makes the movie more than just jump scares.
