Unfortunately the story has many flaws and it is not well explained. The high-quality production has top-notch cinematography, associated to a great cast highlighting the wonderful Teresa Palmer and Maria Bello. "Lights Out" is a flawed horror film that startles the viewer. Sophie and her boyfriend Bret (Alexander DiPersia) investigate the connection of Sophie with Diana and come up to a scary revelation about their past.

That doesn't prevent it from being worth a watch for genre aficionados, however. At least the film focuses on the horror content, and that consistency works in its favour, although it's inferior in comparison to something like the excellent IT FOLLOWS.
