![]() I’m pretty sure Maria Bello’s character even threatened Diana with the possibility of doing something this drastic to keep her from harming her children earlier in the movie. ![]() Let’s Talk About That Ending (Spoilers): Honestly I feel dumb for not seeing this ending coming. This is way more degrading than simply getting rid of them. Wouldn’t she flush them down the toilet? Or was she playing the long game? Maybe every time Sophie would pick up the pills Diana would smack them out of her hands. More Relevant Question: If Diana prefers Sophie in a mentally drained state, why would she allow Sophie to keep her medication on her night stand? Or in the house at all, for that matter. But apparently I’m just a weirdo for assuming all closet lights required you to reach into the closet to turn them on. Side note: I’m pretty sure I was almost kidnapped as a child.Īn Even Quicker Question: How many of you have ever had a light switch outside your closet? I thought this was just a set design choice for this movie, why, I don’t know. Those directions wouldn’t even get you out of our subdivision. Pretty sure I said up the street and to the left. One time a man stopped his car by me and my friends and asked us for directions to the airport. All I know is I’m the worst with directions now, and as a kid I was even worse. Quick Question: How the heck did this little boy find his sister’s apartment? I mean, I’m pretty sure he ran there. Is There A Dog in This Horror Film: Nope! Heavy sigh of relief on that one cuz there’s no way Diana would allow a dog to bring happiness to this home. So… what is Diana? Maybe I missed something… Little girl Diana would become a little girl ghost. (Minor origin spoiler) Diana is the malevolent ghost of a girl who was killed pretty young, right? Yet a quick look at shows that they hired an adult woman to play shadow Diana, which makes no sense if she’s a ghost. Oh, And One More Thing: Unless I’m missing something about Diana and what she is, the character design of her shadow form is all wrong when considering her origin story. It’s not quite as bad as naming a malevolent being Bob, but every time they said her name I couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost (or Whatever this Shadow Lady Actually is): Maybe it’s just me, but Diana isn’t the most intimidating ghost name. And the more questions I had, the more holes I couldn’t help but poke in the premise. Backstories are fun and all, but in this case the more we learned about this figure, the more questions I had. When it comes down to it, maneuvering around the gimmick was actually the part of the movie I enjoyed best. And blow out candles, and smash light bulbs, etc. Turns out that’s more difficult than you might expect, cuz this shadow lady can use light switches. Not only that, but how hard can it really be to stay in the light? The concept was definitely a creative way to explore a common phobia, but I was worried that the gimmick could become more tedious than inspiring for the filmmakers. The Double Feature: For this movie night I decided to watch two movies that play with sight: one villain can’t always be seen, and one villain can’t see at all.īasic Synopsis: A family is tormented by a shadow figure who only exists in darkness (turn the lights on and poof! She’s gone.).īrief Thoughts: Honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect from Lights Out. It’s week two of horror month for me and I’m officially back to being afraid of the dark.
