Lights Out

Troubled Rebecca (Teresa Palmer) felt obliged to wrest custody of her kid brother Martin (Gabriel Bateman) from their chronically depressed mother Sophie (Maria Bello). She might be sparing him more than a tortured adolescence, though…as Sophie begins to manifest an unholy bond with a murderous psychic force that manifests in the dark. James Wan’s tidy shocker also stars Alexander DiPersia, Billy Burke, and Alicia Vela-Bailey. 81 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
