Review of Lights Out (2016) by Nmrodrig — 28 Dec 2016

Crazy fun! When I see a horror film, it usually isn't of my own will. I'm brought along for comic relief so that my so-called friends don't jump at every shadow on their way home. During horror films, I'm the one hiding behind my shirt collar and close-fingered hands.

But Lights Out was so much fun, I couldn't look away. There are a surprising amount of laughs and fun moments that really engage the audience to root for the good guys. I could call out the underdeveloped characters or predictable scares, but the truth is, I was so involved in the story, that I only considered these flaws after the film was over.

I always had trouble seeing how people could find scary movies a "fun" experience.
