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.
