The Lights: Test Run

About This Movie

So, 'The Lights: Test Run' dives into a pretty unsettling premise - Jaz, this agency worker, gets assigned to a student housing unit for the night. Right off the bat, you can feel the tension building, what with the flickering lights that seem almost like they're alive. It messes with the atmosphere big time, creating this claustrophobic vibe. I mean, you can almost feel Jaz's unease through the screen. The pacing has this slow burn that plays well into the horror elements, making the unexpected appearance of her coworker all the more jarring. The practical effects, while not overly flashy, add a nice touch, really grounding the supernatural aspects. It’s a unique take on the horror genre, keeping you guessing about what's real and what's not.

Focuses on psychological horror rather than gore.Interesting use of lighting to enhance tension.Performances bring a relatable sense of dread.
