Was the storyline inspired by the movie, "Mama"? Several of the same plot points can be found throughout the movie. Anyway, YES, "Lights out" gave us a unique antagonist, but the scares and suspense weren't as creative or as unpredictable as James Wan own horror flicks, not to mention the original short film was way better.

The whole "light switch" thing can be tiresome and predictable after the first 30 minutes. This also reminds me of the movie "Darkness Falls" back in '03. Seriously, how many movies was this inspired from? Anyway, could have been way better if they put more effort into the story.
