Sandberg's 2016 horror movie built off his online short film, which discussed tragedy and mental illness before audiences were ready:

negative · AI labelView post →I’m up to four movies featuring surrogate mothers protecting a child from a light-fearing entity. • Darkness Falls • Don’t be Afraid of the Dark • Lights Out • The Boogeyman I’m not complaining; I enjoyed all of these films to varying degrees. It's just an interesting theme? Trope? #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →Jordan Peele and Sam Raimi making a feature length version of Portrait of God is both exciting and mildly upsetting at the same time. Lights Out was a great short but a not so great full length, you know? I mean Smile based on a short film so maybe I’m wrong.

neutral · AI labelView post →My spiciest horror take is probably that jumpscares are fine. Movies relying on them? Also fine. "But it's lazy!" I had fun, I do not actually care. Sitting in a packed cinema watching Lights Out was a great experience! Movie was just wall to wall jumpscares and everyone had a fun time. It's fine!

neutral · AI labelView post →#TheWomanInTheYard was a happy surprise for me! Jaume Collet-Serra directs the hell out of it, the small ensemble cast deliver some powerfully intense performances, & the film feels like IMAGES meets LIGHTS OUT (with a dash of a certain Sydney Pollack classic). Don’t overlook it!
positive · AI labelView post →the management decisions behind this were grotty as hell, but the end product -- a wealth of material since abandoned/ignored by the other local UHF stations, including Star Trek, Twilight Zone, Movie Macabre, Hammer House of Horror, Robin Hood, Lights Out, Texaco Star Theater -- was glorious

Don't Breathe is currently our lowest ranked movie we've watched for the podcast and Lights Out might be one of my picks for this project. The Conjuring movies are fluff, but the fact that they reify real life scammers is an issue for me too.

neutral · AI labelView post →Remembering Arch Oboler, the writer/director born OTD in 1909 whose landmark radio series LIGHTS OUT ("It is later than you think...") terrified a generation. His film BWANA DEVIL was the first to employ 3-D effects. A true visionary. He died in 1987.
neutral · AI labelView post →The 2013 short film "Lights Out" affected me so deeply that for a while I needed Jack to turn out the lights for me when I went to bed, so I could already be in bed with my eyes closed. I've never been that scared by a movie in my adult life.

neutral · AI labelView post →15) Lights Out (2016) It's all right. Not fantastic, not terrible. A mostly conventional horror flick that doesn't break the mold. The ending isn't particularly earned since the character that dies doesn't really get enough screentime or pathos to make it a weighty finale.
neutral · AI labelView post →I made these images for TheMediaMines twitter page and it's a recreation of the character named Smack from the scrapped DreamWorks movie Bugs: Lights Out.
neutral · AI labelView post →12. Lights Out, US, 2013 Talking about the short movie. I didn't care much for the long version. The short one though... the ending is meh, but the build up haunts me EVERY TIME I have to turn off the light in a hallway. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUQh...
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Lights Out did a nice version. Opened with the boyfriend questioning why the girlfriend was asking him to leave the apartment. But he was looking for his shoes while doing so. Confused but respectful of her wishes.
positive · AI labelView post →Night 10 Movie 10 of #Spooktober #31NightsOfHalloween Lights Out 👻👻👻👻👻 I have seen this movie before but it was one of my favorites so I watched again and it did not disappoint on the second time around. This movie perfected the jump scares and gave me the best kind of anxiety. Highly recommend
positive · AI labelView post →And then Black Phone Guy was turned into Freddy Kreuger in the second film, lol. There was also Valak from The Nun, and Baghuul from Sinister, and you can probably count… whatever her name was in Lights Out. And just earlier this year, there was the Passenger from the movie of the same name.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm going to have to read the HA books, aren't I? I need to be fully informed if imma hate on the movie. Idc if you like the books, I'm glad you do. However, I don't think dark romance novels have a place in film. I feel similarly about Lights Out. I loved that book, but it doesn't need a show.
