re: Lights Out (New horror film)

The original short still creeps me out, in large part because of the brevity. It's creepier not knowing what it is or why it's happening, as opposed to getting all this Ring/Samara-rip off backstory they plug in the trailers.

I like Wan's directorial style and cinematography but the writing for a lot of these films is too overdone. It's like they forgot that if everyone has a universal fear of the unknown, you should, you know, keep as much as you can unknown.
