“Lights Out” began its life as a three-minute short film by David F. Sandberg that was short on such elements as narrative complexity, character development and a memorable dialogue (I don’t recall a single word being spoken) and long in coming up with more big jolts than would seem possible in such a short running time.
It has got no small degree of attention and Sandberg was given a chance to expand the short into a full-length feature, putting it in such esteemed genre company as the original “When a Stranger Calls” and “The Babadook.” In the cases of those works, the filmmakers found ways to expand on the original shorts that were clever, dramatically interesting and very, very scary. The problem with “Lights Out” is that while Sandberg is good at creating “BOO!” moments—those instants shock when something pops out from nowhere and scares of everyone—they're deployed in the service of a story that has little to offer otherwise, and begin to lose their effectiveness after a short while.
