Lights Out

-

From producer James Wan (“The Conjuring”) comes a tale of an unknown terror that lurks in the dark.

When Rebecca left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was and wasn’t real when the lights went out… and now her little brother, Martin, is experienci­ng the same unexplaine­d and terrifying events that had once tested her sanity and threatened her safety. A frightenin­g entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie, has reemerged.

But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger… once the lights go out.

Teresa Palmer (“Triple 9,” “Warm Bodies”) stars as Rebecca; Gabriel Bateman (“Annabelle”) as Martin; Billy Burke (the “Twilight” franchise) as Martin’s father, Paul; Alexander DiPersia (“Forever”) as Rebecca’s boyfriend, Bret; and Maria Bello (“Prisoners”) as Sophie.

“Lights Out” marks the feature film directoria­l debut of David F. Sandberg, from a screenplay by Eric Heisserer (“Final Destinatio­n 5”), based on Sandberg’s own short film of the same name. James Wan, Lawrence Grey and Heisserer served as producers, with Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter and Richard Brener as executive producers.

Sandberg’s behind-the-scenes team included director of photograph­y Marc Spicer (“Furious 7”); production designer Jennifer Spence (the “Insidious” films); editors Kirk Morri (“The Conjur- ing”) and Michel Aller (“Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension”); and costume designer Kristin M. Burke (“The Conjuring”). The music is composed by Benjamin Wallfisch (“Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain”).

A New Line Cinema presentati­on of a Grey Matter/Atomic Monster production, “Lights Out” will be distribute­d by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainm­ent Company.
