![]() ![]() Comparing it to masterpieces like The Exorcist and Poltergeist has no value. Based on chill factor alone, it ranks higher than Dark Water, The Forest, Paranormal Activity, The Others, The Babadook, and The Boy, and lower than The Ring, Ju-On / The Grudge, and other Japanese-styled ghost stories, as well as any horror James Wan himself directs. It has a strong chill-factor but a somewhat average formula, and it could have used fewer back-story explanations to make it more mysterious, especially since those elements did not feel original. Lights Out takes some queues from Japanese-styled ghost stories, so it will be attractive to that audience.
