I am usually pretty good at buckling down around over the
Halloween season. Unfortunately, this year I have been caught up with some of
the stupidity that has made this one of the least fun seasons on record. When
towns and stores are infringing on our rights as citizens to dress-up as common
characters, there is a giant problem. Honestly, the amount of political
correctness and attempts to sissify society is unbelievable. Next up for review
is the 2016 ghost story, Lights Out!
Plot/ When her little brother, Martin, experiences the same
events that once tested her sanity, Rebecca works to unlock the truth behind
the terror, which brings her face to face with an entity that has an attachment
to their mother, Sophie.
Personally, I have been having a hard time finding any type
of ghost story that has been worth watching over the past few months. That
changes with this one, as it was one of the best that I have seen in some time.
There is so much to like about this one, with an interesting storyline
(although a very basic premise), solid performances, and tight cinematography
that marries every aspect of the film (visuals, sound, and tension). Yes, it is
not a masterpiece and there are some predictable moments woven within the
premise, but those are easily forgotten (especially with one of the best
endings for a movie in some time). In the end, this is one of the better ghost
story’s to come out in some time and a movie that would be perfect for
Halloween. Check it out!
