Lights Out (About a Ghost That Only Appears Under Spooky Silhouettes) - Blu-ray Forum

That's pretty much it.

ThatOneGuy · 03-26-2016, 08:38 PM

Sooooo, how does she work? If turning off the light makes her a physical thing then wouldn't the lights that outline her cause her to vanish? Wouldn't she only work like that one part of the character feeling that she was in the pitch black room?

Should of just been a ghost we never see and takes people who end up in a pitch black room.

Poor looking horror film to break up all the action summer Blockbusters. Will be a good theater going experience in the bad part of town where everyone shouts and screams things at the screen.

It's based on a short film of the same name.

I'll see this.

Chaotic · 03-27-2016, 01:34 AM

Whatever happened to that other James Wan produced/Maria Bello horror movie?

Well if this movie is logical, which it won't be, it could be that only the side that would not have light hitting her forms a corporeal presence, so like if there was a light to the left of her, only the right side of her would be visible (as silhouette) while the left side would fade away to nothing.

FrodoBagginz · 03-27-2016, 01:50 AM

Just keep the lights on. Problem solved.

Scottie · 03-27-2016, 01:52 AM

Here's the short film.

So how did she grab the cop who had a flashlight pointing her way since she vanishes when light hits her... I'm probably just going to watch this just to see how they work this...

That's why I said "Which it won't be".

Straight to DVD in the UK and Australia. It's online and it is garbage.

Seemed like a good concept. Minimalist ghost stories are usually the most effective. Lost me completely with the "I once had a friend [who was allergic to the sun]" nonsense.

For sure I'll watch this one in theaters, it seems it will be good.
Not going to watch the short film (actually I can't remember if I ever watched it, but I don't think so) because probably it would ruin the whole experience of watching the film.

Pounder · 03-27-2016, 04:43 AM

Looks like a fun time. Will check it out.

It won't (well it didn't for me personally). They basically took the 2 minute short film and created a storyline to use to prolong the idea. The isn't like The Babadook where Jennifer Kent took her 8 minute short film and rewrote it into a 100 minute movie with the same story.

Exactly. It looks like this will be more like Mama where the 3 minute short is incorporated into the movie as a single scene - which is basically the beginning scene in this trailer.

Seems like a similar concept to those living statues from Doctor Who that move closer to their victims each time someone blinks.

I take it this is not to be confused with...
