Lights Out And An Irresponsible Message About Depression.

What most people don’t know about clinical depression is quite a lot. I have personally been diagnosed with it, and yet I am in no way an expert about its biological intricacies. What I do know and what I can tell you is that clinical depression is not equivalent to simple sadness. So to tell a person who suffers from any clinical form of depression to “try and cheer up”, “do something fun to get your mind off things”, or any number of other suggestions that have nothing to do with fixing brain chemistry or psychological trauma, is frankly dismissive and unhelpful. What is helpful, is for those who do suffer from a form of clinical depression to seek treatment. If you have followed me this far, I sincerely thank you, my Little Monsters. I promise I will tie Lights Out to my spiel, but if you haven’t seen it…be warned, there are SPOILERS ahead. The basic premise of Lights

Five Terrifying Short Films From The Writer-Director Of Lights Out

David F. Sandberg’s name should sound familiar, he recently directed the genre hit ‘Lights Out’ (review). Before the blockbuster film, produced by James Wan, came to be there was the short film ‘Lights Out’, from Sandberg and it has racked-up over 13 million views on YouTube.

Lights Out Made Me Want To Leave The Lights On – A Spoiler Free Review

Normally, when a movie is being hailed “the best horror movie” months before its theatrical debut, I wonder two things: is the movie that good, or does it just have a lot of big names and a great PR team. ‘Lights Out’ is one of those movies. Months before it opened in theaters the buzz was that it was going to be the best horror film of 2016. But is it? Directed by David F. Sandberg and co-written by Eric Heiseerer, the film is based on the short film by the same name by Sandberg. With horror master James Wan producing the film, it had my attention from the moment it was announced (I am huge fan of Wan). Living in rural Georgia and the closest theater being over an hour’s drive away, I had to wait till ‘Lights Out’ was released on DVD to check it out. Last night, I finally had the chance to see it for myself.

Lights Out Getting A Sequel

James Wan is now one of the leading names in horror. The incredibly talented writer/director/producer is responsible for four great franchises, The Conjuring, Insidious, Annabelle (the sequel is filming now) and Saw. Now, he’s adding a fifth franchise to the list. While his latest film, Lights Out is still in theaters, it has already been granted a sequel. The supernatural thriller did great during last week’s opening weekend, grossing over $60 million globally, 12 times its budget. Lights Out, based on the short film by the same name, was penned by Eric Heisserer, who will return for the sequel, Deadline reports. David F. Sandberg will be back to direct the sequel after he wraps filming Wan’s Annabelle 2. Lawrence Gray will produce. The film centers on Rebecca, a young woman who thought she left her childhood fears behind her. Growing up, she never was really sure what was real and what wasn’t when the lights went out. Now, her little

James Wan On The Conjuring 3 – The Warrens And Werewolves ?

James Wan is on fire. The Conjuring 2 had an amazing opening weekend at the box office, just like the The Conjuring did. Between the films’ success and the long list of investigations by The Warrens, who The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 were based on, it’s a no-brainer that more sequels will be made. It seems that the third installment of the franchise is already in the works, but not yet confirmed by Warner Bros. In a recent interview with Cinemablend Wan discussed one of the many possible subjects of The Conjuring 3 and the chance of it featuring something other than spirits and demons, werewolves. Maybe we can go and do it like a classic American Werewolf in London style. That would be awesome! The Warrens set against the backdrop of The Hound of Baskerville. Even though The Conjuring franchise has focused on spirits and possession up to this point, Ed Warren did publish a book titled Werewolf:
