Pretty rudimentary in the ways of jump-scare horror, but "Lights Out" isn't without some fairly nifty touches.

It can be tricky adapting a short in to a full-length film, but David F. Sandberg managed just fine. Really liked the design of the monster and the story to go along with it. Characters were a bit thin, but overall a great experience. I also like the fact Sandberg chose piratical effects over CG when he could. Effective horror, make sure to watch with the lights out.

I can see how this made a great horror short, but it felt a little thin as a feature. The concept is great and there were a lot of scary moments, but some of the reveals would have been more effective later in the movie, and the backstory could have used more depth. Lastly, the concept seemed an invitation to some really cool and innovative cinematography, but while the camera work was good, it didn't blow me away as I had hoped.
