Creepily, only when she turns the lights off. In a textiles warehouse, co-worker Esther sees a silhouette of a woman with monstrously long fingers. Lights Out takes this simple concept and creates a film out of it, let’s see how it does. It’s not simply the jet-black appearance of an unilluminated environment but the basic trepidation of what could be camouflaged within. That’s not saying that horror cannot be frightening if it takes place in daylight. How can something so simple have the ability to evoke dread amongst viewers? Imagine Dracula, an icon of horror that is synonymous with darkness and now imagine it once again but brightly lit instead it’s nowhere near as effective. Throughout history the dark has been used as a device to add an extra layer to horror movies.
