Lights Out 🎥 2016 Movie Info

Plot Summary

In a textile factory during closing hours, after an employee named Esther says goodbye to her boss Paul, she encounters a silhouette of a strange looking witch with claw-like monstery hands when the lights are off, but she cannot see it when the lights are on. After she leaves, Paul encounters the woman as well. He tries to run away and locks himself into an office, but is killed after the lights go out. Some time later Paul’s son, Martin, witnesses his mother, Sophie, talking to something in the dark. Sophie notices Martin and comforts him about the event, but as Martin goes back to bed he notices a strange figure in the shadow behind Sophie, and locks himself in his bedroom out of fear.

Shortly thereafter Martin begins to have trouble staying awake at school. The nurse is unable to get in touch with Sophie to inform her of this, so Martin’s older maternal half-sister (Paul’s step-daughter) Rebecca is called in to the school nurse’s office instead. A Child Protective Services agent questions Rebecca about Martin’s living conditions, and Rebecca tells the official that Sophie is taking antidepressants. Martin tells her that their mother has been talking to a woman named “Diana”. Rebecca assures him that Diana is not real, and that she had also heard their mother talk to the imaginary girl when she was a child.

Once they arrive at Martin’s house, Rebecca gets into an argument with Sophie when she realizes her mother is not taking her medication, but Sophie tells Rebecca she has no right to lecture her, accusing Rebecca of abandoning her like Rebecca’s father did. Questioning her mother’s sanity, Rebecca takes Martin to her apartment, much to Sophie’s despair. That night, Rebecca is awoken by the same shadowed woman that killed Paul. She narrowly escapes an attack when she turns the lights on, making the woman disappear.
