Review of When the Lights Went Out (2012) by Jules S — 06 Aug 2013
I'm not a huge fan of British movies to be honest, mostly because they seem to romantic dramadies or family dramadies which revolve around working class folk in the North of England and are usually set in the seventies.
It gets real old, real fast. It made me apprehensive going into When the Lights Went Out, but ironically that was the part of the movie that never really bothered me. But the creepy overly interested teacher, the slow and confusing development of the haunting and the pointlessly overblown finale all left me feeling very cold.
It's a shame because it could have been better. The acting is superb which is a shame because the writing left much to be desired. I will admit though, I did like the coal-room scene. Shame it never got as good as that again.
