LIGHTS OUT

This horror film appeals very literally to people’s fear of the dark, centering on a spirit who only appears when you turn out the lights and who gets closer and closer every time you flick that switch. Rebecca (Teresa Palmer) discovers that her little brother (Gabriel Bateman) is being haunted by this creature, which also stalked her at a young age. She uncovers a dark chapter in her mother’s past — and part of it might not be done with the family. Rated PG-13. 81 minutes. Regal Stadium 14; DreamCatcher; Regal DeVargas. (Not reviewed)
