A woman is about to go to bed, but when she turns the lights out, someone or something is in the house.
You might be talking about Writer and Director, David F. Sandberg's LIGHTS OUT. At just a little over 2 minutes, LIGHTS OUT is a combination of frights & fun-style Horror. One in which the protagonist (played with shivery believability by Lotta Losten), otherwise secure in her high-rise but mundane home, finds herself blocked from her apartment's only escape, the door, by Some Thing. Blanket over her head - she tries to talk herself out of being afraid. Whenever we're afraid, we all try and talk ourselves out of the fear. Sometimes that works, and sometimes it doesn't. In fact, people go so far, so often, in trying to talk themselves out of their fear of almost certain danger, that Insurance companies and Police Departments have put out pamphlets, put up billboards, and television ads, all basically saying, "If you come home to find your door is open - Don't Go In!" Whattya you? Nuts? Extra kudos to David for not going for the cheat-cheap and irritating loud noise. Making someone jump at an ear banging noise isn't scary, it just pisses people off. David went for the real scares. Oh, and as for that face? This is how he did it. There are more movies at the Feo Amante Theater. Go to NOW SHOWING! Page Copyright 2014 E.C.McMullen Jr.
