Another poltergeist story, this time in Yorkshire in the mid seventies. Nothing wrong with that if you like that genre of movie but then it has to be better then a lot of other good movies in this genre. When The Lights Went Out is okay to watch once but that's about it. There's just not enough horror in this movie, neither enough thrills to give you a creepy feeling that you sometimes get in other classics in this genre. The story isn't that bad except that it has been done before, over and over. The cast is okay without being great. The special effects are a bit boring, just the usual stuff of things falling down, lamps swinging and slamming doors. Every now and then a creepy face but really nothing that's going to scare you. So in conclusion, it's okay to watch once but if you have the choice then just watch another and better one.
