Watch Lights Out For Free

How sad is this?

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Lights Out (2013)*** (out of 4)Effective horror short from David F. Sandberg would be the bases for his feature length version from 2016. Basically a woman walks into her apartment and when she turns the lights off she sees a figure. When she turns the lights back on it's gone. Each time she turns the lights off the figure reappears. Obviously the suspense comes from the director building up how much closer the figure gets to the woman and for the most part this worked quite well. It clocks in at less than three minutes so the film obviously doesn't run along too long but it certainly makes an impression and especially the ending. Horror fans should enjoy this.

For me, "Lights Out" was the most disappointing horror film of 2016. I found it terribly dull, with clichéd characters, predictable jump-scares and a repetitive plot that felt way too stretched in the worst possible manner...Honestly, I wish I had seen the short film which inspired that movie before, because it was much better in every single aspect. I guess that the brevity of the short helped a lot to avoid everything that made the movie so bad (Like the flat and clichéd characters, the bad dialogue, the boring exposition, the pointless filler scenes and the cringe worthy resolution) but the truth is that "Lights Out" worked much better as a short film, going directly to the point in a quite effective way. And the final jump-scare that closes this short film was honestly far better done than anything from the feature-length version, which just feels redundant and unnecessary by comparison.7/10

Lights out(2013)is a short horror film that is about a young woman who is just about to go to bed when suddenly she starts seeing a unusual entity that only appears when she turns on the lights,this woman hides in her bed for about 2 minutes and nothing is there,she thinks shes safe and is about to turn of her lamp when she sees a monster of a creature crouched down on its knees with pupiless eyes and gives a horrifying scream as the lamp switches off and the creature probably kills her. Lights came out the day before new years eve. It became so famous it got 13,015,454 views on YouTube and it was even more famous a American film produced by James Wan was released in theaters. I loved this short horror,I got so scared at the end I just loved it,Lights out 2 will come out at one point,the year is unknown.

"Light Out" is a very short little horror movie from 2 years ago written and directed by David F. Sandberg starring Lotta Losten. The first minute basically takes place in the hallway, the second in the woman's bedroom. I thought the first half was great, the second was good too. To me, horror films are most effective when there is some kind of unseen danger here and I really liked the idea that you could only see the monster when the lights were out. And the way it was suddenly so close to her was very scary. The ending was nice too, more with how we knew something would happen than with when it actually did. Losten played it well and this was very nicely written. I hope Sandberg will get a chance to go into full feature territory at some point. His work here looks promising to me and I highly recommend it. Certainly will check out his other short films soon as well. Thumbs up.
