![]() IMDB Blurb: When Rebecca left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was & wasn't real when the lights went out...& now her little brother, Martin, is experiencing the same unexplained & terrifying events that had once tested her sanity & threatened her safety. A frightening entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie, has reemerged. But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger...once the lights go out. Decided 2 post this thread since the 2nd trailer premiered 2day, even tho I'm not particularly interested in this film, personally, esp. considering the 2nd trailer made this film feel as if it makes less sense than it did b4: if w/e tf this thing is used 2 be a little girl that currently has an attachment 2 her currently living bestie, y in the shit is she killing all these random ass ppl? Not 2 mention, y is she appearing 2 all these ppl in the 1st place when she could only be haunting this 1 bitch that clearly ain't got an issue w/ being haunted? I mean, sure, I'mma watch this movie anywho, so maybe it'll make sense then, but if even the trailer can't clarify that shit, how's the movie gonna do?

It appears that I'm thankfully not the only person who realized how problematic the ending to this was. Over at the A.V. Club, A. A. Dowd's review of this film sees the metaphor as being about depression specifically instead of just mental illness, but comes to the exact same conclusion about it that I did, right down to mentioning The Babadook as an example of the same story told right. Here is the spoiler-free version, and here is the more in-depth look that goes into spoiler territory. |

Oh....@ it being a metaphor. Welp, I already know I'mma hate the ending, cuz that metaphor is the exact reason I'm not a big fan of The Babadook just cuz the ending handled the concept in a relatively ridiculous manner. I can appreciate metaphors, but if it fucks w/ the overall whole of the movie, it's like...is it worth it?

http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3400802/lights-gets-sequel-james-wan-remains-king-horror/ This had better be a prequel in disguise like Ouija was or God help us all with what BS reason for a sequel they come up with.

I like James Wan's horror movies but this is one movie that does NOT need to become a franchise and this is a HUGE mistake if it's actually headed in that direction. |

Well, I'm not re: 2 the quality of his films, but they wanna act like he's the be-all-end-all reason 4 this shit existing, like, sure, the films he actually wrote/directed, yes, but given he's so entangled w/ studio work, it's hardly like he can be given credit 4 this shit in the same way as some1 could credit John Carpenter 4 the existence of most of his films since he purposely went out of his way 2 make independent films.

It's literally going to be a disaster unless they have a damn good reason. This is one movie that needs to stand-alone or have a prequel. I mean fucking OUIJA that no one cares about is getting a prequel. At least give the movie with an INTERESTING backstory a prequel. |
