The Darkness. Darkness. Darkness Falls. Dark. Mama. In addition to these, there were countless others... and now, we have Lights Out to add to the list of dark-demonic-entity-haunts-another-house genre. The evil female ghost who terrorizes a woman and her young son is a mysterious figure with long claws, ragged hair, and eyes that resemble two tiny light bulbs. She appears only in the absence of light, and apparently kills only those characters who aren't essential to the plot (surprise, surprise). The only thing that filmmakers of Light Out do well is manage to keep their ghoulish film rated PG-13, which allows them to make tens of additional millions in profit without sacrificing the younger audiences. Teresa Palmer looks great as the elder sister who tries to decipher the demon's origin, and I only wish that the scares were original (they feel as if they're six weeks late for Halloween) and that they'd have transcended the experience the way Palmer's sexiness does.
