Critics Consensus

Wasting the talents of an impressive cast on a predictable mystery, Red Lights lacks the clairvoyance to know what audiences want.

6.1/10

The fact that Red Lights' action doesn't operate in a recognizable universe, however, is a constant problem.

A clever thriller, bolstered by three great performances.

The film doesn't offer the sense of release, or of surprise, that it seems to take for granted.

4/5

Might not have been the straightforward horror movie many audiences were expecting, with the material being elevated tremendously thanks to the impressive cast.

1.5/4

All of the actors in this impressive cast deserve better than the cornball paranormal yarn they’re ultimately a part of.

In all, there are some entertaining moments, some well-directed suspense sequences, and some interesting questions about perception. But when it comes to the details of the story - I'm not falling for it.

This is fantastic! Terrific cast, & unlike others, I loved the ending! Cillian was top of his game in this. Best role for him since his breakout role in 28 days later. Highly recommend ❤️❣️😍

It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but I didn't think it was that bad. For some reason, this movie managed to get an incredible cast, but I feel their talents were wasted on a lackluster story. I still found the concept really intriguing, and I was really interested to see how the story ended. I'd definitely recommend it for drama, thriller, and paranormal fans!

Ugh, the potential was tremendous! The cast, a delight! The first part - so intriguing and catchy - talking about belief, truth, fears and facts. BUT THE ENDING! ruined it all. rly.

Starts off strong, great actors, etc. But then, it just ... gets ... weird. And trippy. And I guess, you can find enjoyment in that, but I was just asking myself "WTF?" And that ending ... yeah, no.
