Lights Out
Will make you want to leave the lights on!
Well, It's about time that we have a new horror movie coming out that doesn't make me want to stick my head in a blender. If you are a horror movie fan then you know what I mean. It's been so long since I have seen a really good horror movie that I have forgotten what it should feel like. That's truly horrible I must say. However, all that is about to change as I have just watch the best trailer I have seen in a long, long time. You can bet that I will be in the back of the theater with my over priced, over sized, extra buttered popcorn just as soon as they sell me a ticket. The best part is, after you guys watch the trailer below, I am sure that I will not be alone in the theater for this up coming movie, like I have for so many of the others that have been released inside of the last 5 years.
(If you have time, I am wondering what others think about the trailer, whether they would keep it, or sweep it, Go to the movies to see it, or wait for it to come out on Blue ray. Is the movie a waste of time, or just a joke. All comments are encouraged and welcomed, Thanks you in advance)
As you can see from the trailer, Lights Out centers on a young boy named Martin and his older sister Rebecca. Over time the two realize that whenever the lights go out, they can see a woman lurking in the shadows. They begin the investigate the strange phenomenon going on around them, and eventually find out that it has something to do with a mysterious event from their mother’s past that feeds on the fear of those it hunts. As they slowly unravel the mystery buried in the past, they start to understand that all of their lives are in danger, as something will come for them whenever – as you probably could guess – the lights go out.
Lights Out seems to capitalize on the nearly universal fear we all have of the dark, which makes sense considering James Wan (the mastermind behind The Conjuring, Saw, and Insidious) has a hand in producing the film. One of the things that makes the trailer work so well is the fact that the movie really keeps the mysterious specter hidden in the shadows as it picks people off one by one. We never get a good look at the film’s central monster, so we allow our brains to fill in what might be out there. Our main hope is that the movie itself will remember how effective this tactic is, and keep the monster hidden from view in order to allow our imaginations to run wild. All while smacking us with those in your face scares that really get your blood pumping. Meanwhile the imagination is busy trying to sort out what is in the shadows. Seriously, a silhouette has never been so damn terrifying.
One of the things worth noting about Lights Out is the fact that the film’s young protagonist named Martin seems incredibly mature. Numerous recent horror films such as Goodnight Mommy and The Babadook have revolved around child protagonists, but depicted them as immature, misguided, or generally helpless. (which if you are like myself then you find this so annoying) In Lights Out, Martin seems to be on the same page, and at the very least he is able to contribute when the adults finally figure out what’s going on. It’s a small detail, but one that makes the whole move that much better.
I do believe that they are releasing more information on June 22nd.. Come back then to find out where and when you can see this on the big screen. As always my friends, it has been a pleasure blogging with you guys, even more so with the topic being a horror movie.
Until next time, remember to be stilllivin4now and stay safe,

Foot notes:
For our first time readers, and maybe even some of you whom haven't seen it.. I own another blog as well as another website. If you would like stop in and check it out. Here on this blog we do several topics, more of a broader selection. Over at my other site we tend to a bit more on topic. However, this works out great for the site that it is linked to..
Goodman Candles and Crafts is the name of the web page, there we have our home page, products page, about us, and of course our store. One of the more used pages there is our main blog, which is called The Melting Pot. (the name goes well with the candle store)
One would think that I use the blog to help sell my products, and if I were smarter I would be doing that. Except I am more caring than I am smart, as I use the blog to upload instructionals, Diy's, troubleshooters, and advanced techniques for the candle makers in all of us. In hopes to help any and everyone save some cash by being able to create your own products. (this is very counter productive for myself and my company since we sell candles, However I still feel like the options should be out there)
So if you have time. Slip on by and check us out. Maybe like, follow, and share to help us get our name out there....
Thanks again for sharing your time with us here at stilllivin4now
