Red Lights

About This Movie

Red Lights, directed by Rodrigo Cortés, really digs into the world of skepticism versus belief. You’ve got Dr. Margaret Matheson, played by Sigourney Weaver, who’s this seasoned investigator of the supernatural, and her eager assistant, Tom Buckley, portrayed by Cillian Murphy. The film has this moody, atmospheric vibe that keeps you on edge, especially with the return of Simon Silver, a blind psychic with a mysterious past. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to soak in the tension that builds up between the characters. What stands out here is how it tackles the theme of deception in the paranormal arena, blending practical effects with psychological thrills. The performances are solid, particularly Weaver's, capturing that blend of skepticism and intrigue effectively.
