From Producer James Wan (Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring) and Lawrence Grey’s Grey Matter comes a tale of an unknown terror that lurks in the dark.
David F. Sandberg’s Lights Out opens in theaters tomorrow, and yet there’s already talk of a sequel of sorts. But, as usual, it’s going to depends on the film’s box office success (don’t worry, this one’s gonna do gangbusters).
Sandberg is currently filming Annabelle 2, the sequel to the Conjuring spinoff, for New Line Cinema.
“It’s up to the fan reaction to Lights Out,” Grey told our shared reported Ted Henstchke at the ongoing San Diego Comic-Con, confirming that he’s working with director Sandberg on an another project.
While Trace was a fan of the film, stating that “Lights Out is a frightening study of mental illness,” here’s a bit from Kalyn Corrigan’s review out of the Los Angeles Film Festival premiere:
“Director David F. Sandberg actually understands how to send chills down an audience’s spine. His charcoal figure who basks in the darkness creates a petrifying atmosphere whenever she appears onscreen. Her crooked movements stand out like a stutter as she walks stiffly down the hall, making her appear less and less human every time she pops up in a quiet corner, or a whispers evil instructions from within a pitch black closet.”
