Ironically, Sophie is not sleeping and Martin hears her talking all night long in her bedroom. She and Sophie are just this side of complete estrangement thanks to Sophie’s ongoing mental illness and her refusal to take meds.īlaming the leaving of her first husband and then the death of her second husband Paul for her illness, as Rebecca starts to discover – and as it appears Paul was investigating at the time of his death – Sophie’s illness goes back to her childhood and her time in a mental institution where she made a friend named Diana. Rebecca long ago left home and has been on her own since 16 or 17, with her only family tie being Gabriel. Sophie, now widowed, is mother by her first husband to 20-something Rebecca, and Martin. It transcends the genre thanks to ingenuity, technical polish and hair-raising terror.

Sandberg from script by Sandberg and Eric Heisserer based on a short film by Sandberg. Destined to become the horror hit of the summer, LIGHTS OUT is directed by David F. Who doesn’t love a little bit of terror on a hot summer night? And who doesn’t get that tingle of excitement mixed with terror in the dark and hearing/seeing things that go bump in the night? If you answered “yes”, then LIGHTS OUT is the film for you.
