About
You’ll probably like Lights Out if you want a fast, unsettling horror built around fear in darkness and lots of chills; Not for you if you dislike jump scares or need deep, fully explained motives, similar to Oculus or Paranormal Activity 3.
Pros: clever darkness premise; great creature effects; strong tension | Cons: thin character depth; jump-scare overload; weak reason for anger
