Directed by: David F. Sandberg
Written by: Eric Heisserer & David F. Sandberg
Starring: Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, & Maria Bello
I remember when Teresa Palmer was in I am Number 4….memories…
Well Palmer has now appeared in a horror film. A not that great horror film.
When Rebecca’s (Palmer) little brother Martin (Bateman) begins falling asleep in school, she becomes concerned with his home
and her mother. It turns out that their
mother has a demon/spirit/ghost living with them who does not like the lights
on. She also has anger issues. Rebecca becomes determined to make her
brother and mother safe.
Terrible summary, but whatever.
So what I didn’t like about this film is Diana (Alicia
Vela-Bailey). It was never determined
what she was. Technically she could
touch you and you could touch her, but then she’d disappear when you’d turn on
the lights. But if you turned them off,
she’d be in the same place. Also she
died years ago from light… Like
what? So then how the heck do you kill
her? (I would tell you, but it would
ruin it.) It just didn’t make sense.
Also it wasn’t clear why she was there in the first place. She was following around her best friend,
Sophie (Bello), but that was it.
Was she trying to kill her friend?
Did she want to stay in the human world?
It was just said that she was evil.
Not good enough for me, sorry.
On the positive side, apparently there was no CGI. Diana was played by a person and did all her
own stunts.
