Lights Out cinematic trailer

Wan’s role: Producer

While Lights Out might not be a James Wan movie, he had a key role in its production: trusting amateur David Sandberg to direct it.  The movie became one of the best horror movies of 2016 and Sandberg is now one of the most promising horror directors out there.

Lights Out is about a young woman whose mother is mysteriously attached to supernatural entity.  Not only is the movie scary, it is also an interesting allegory for depression.  It’s rare for a horror film to be both scary and smart, but Light Out succeeds at both.
