And since she wants Sophie all to herself that means killing off the others. But Diana, it turns out, is much more than a vision rather, she’s a spectral monster that thrives in darkness and is harmed by light both natural and superficial. It still concerns this creature of the darkness, but centers the story around twentysomething Rebecca ( Teresa Palmer) and pre-teen Martin ( Gabriel Bateman), a pair of siblings whose disturbed mother, Sophie ( Maria Bello), is beset by visions of someone named Diana. Unfortunately, Lights Out, Sandberg’s feature-length adaptation of the short, is neither of those things.

In it, actress Lotta Losten plays a woman who sees a human-shaped entity in the darkness of her apartment. Sandberg made “Lights Out”, a three-minute master class in how to execute an effective jump scare.
