Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects Join Andrew Gordon and Aaron Alexander as they plunge into the heart-pounding terror of the 2016 horror film, Lights Out. Co-written and directed by David F. Sandberg (Shazam!, Annabelle: Creation) —who first stunned audiences with his chilling short film that inspired this feature—Lights Out delivers jump scares, unsettling atmospheres, and a ghostly presence that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Teresa Palmer (Warm Bodies, Hacksaw Ridge, The Grudge 2) stars as Rebecca Bloom, a determined woman confronting a malevolent force that haunts her family’s past and threatens their future.

Gabriel Bateman, Alexander DiPersia, and Billy Burke round out the cast with memorable supporting roles that amplify the film’s relentless suspense and eerie visuals. Andrew & Aaron break down every nerve-wracking moment—from the film’s spine-chilling opening sequence and the terrifying instances of the apparition’s sudden appearances, to the meticulously crafted atmosphere that Sandberg builds throughout the narrative. Whether you’re here for the jump scares or the psychological tension, join us for an in-depth reaction and review that uncovers all the haunting details of Lights Out.
