Review of Lights Out

Lights Out (II) (2016)
6/10
More funny than scary!
31 July 2016
I found it funny. I totally agree that some of the scenes were gripping. On on such point, the whole theatre screamed or gasped. Also, the characters in the movie were not at all dumb which is rare. But, there is no denying that this movie is easily forgettable. There was nothing memorable about it. It started off with a pace and managed to maintain that which was impressive but it was not a very fast one to start with.

The climax was funny! Yes, everyone in the theatre was laughing hard. It is not that there were many scenes where they put funny scenes in a horror movie to lighten up the mood, the backdrop was pretty tense, but we were laughing. This is not a good sign for a horror movie because nowadays, people are not scared by ugly scary faces, they are actually scared when the movie has a scary tone throughout. Teresa Palmer and Maria Bello were okay. The ghost, have to say is something I have never seen before. So, I would say that it is entertaining, but do not expect from it that it will scare you much.
