The Plot: A family is haunted by a dark
specter that can only been seen when the lights are out. In order to save her
little brother, Rebecca tries to discover the truth behind the evil entity that
wishes to kill them.
The cast: Teresa Palmer convinces as the not
very emotional Rebecca and Maria Bello is excellent as her mother. As the young
brother, Gabriel Bateman fails to look scared and looks like someone who
doesn’t believe in nothing that is happening. On the other hand, Alexander
DiPersia (Rebecca’s friend) looks really scared.
The Movie: Inspired by the hit short film by
the same director, David F. Sandberg, we have here a true horror winner. The
idea is simple, we are all afraid of the dark, and is executed by Sandberg with
a true sense of creepiness and fear. With chilling sounds effects, a truly dark
atmosphere, enough suspense and a terrifying entity, this is one of the
scariest movies I have seen in the last years. As for the entity, Sandberg
choses never to show it in all her glory and that works perfectly; believe me,
it’s the stuff that can give you nightmares. I enjoyed the fact that Sandberg
managed to put basically his short film and with the same actress in the
context of this movie and it works. If you love horror movies this one is for
you!
My Rate: 8
