Didn't want to watch this... didn't want to like it. However, after thinking about it, this movie contains all the classis horror elements of a great movie, but nothing is overdone and nothing is silly or cheesy. Turns out this is really a good movie - good plot and a good combo of scary elements (not too gory or violent, but classic scare tactics

It’s been awhile since a film creeped me out! When I bought it, thought it would be a basic decent horror film! Well, it scared my daughter and I so much, after the movie, we were scared to turn OFF the lights! I’m telling you watch this in total darkness and good sound! Jump scares as well! Creeeeeeeeepy! Chilling! We loved it!

5 stars for the movie, 1 for its condition = 3 stars. This is why I don't like to buy videos online, it's a crapshoot whether they'll be in any fit condition when they arrive. This one had deep indentations on the front and back of the case, one of which punctured the front cover. The film on the case is all wrinkled, I swapped out the case, but that doesn't fix the puncture through the front of the cover and the other dents in the back. It seriously looks like someone beat the crap out of this video. The disc is fine, which is why I'm not returning it. I wish they would have still had this this in-store, at least I could have picked one that wasn't all beat up.

This is a good example of when a good idea gets to see its full potential. I remember seeing "Lights Out" a few years back when it originally debuted: As a short, 5 minute horror film on YouTube. Without any dialogue and minimal explanation, it managed to be original and truly terrifying. The full movie expands on the original's concept and adds a backstory explaining why this entity haunts this family. Surprisingly, the movie also does well as sort of a social commentary on mental illness. What I also like is that the characters in this movie are smart. They're not your typical stupid teens or brain dead characters practically waltzing into death at every turn. They quickly learn and adapt to the situation. I often found myself saying, "Why don't they just..." and before I could finish my sentence the characters in the movie had the same idea. I really appreciated that compared to the genre stereotypes we've come to expect. Overall, a great movie with good acting, some unexpected jump scares, and outright creepiness. With movies like this and "Don't Breathe", I'd say the horror genre is very much alive.

I remember going to the movies to see this. Started off creepy right from the beginning with a nice twist at the end. Picture quality is top notch as well as sound and I actually like the steelbook it came in. Good movie.
