It's a gripping and powerful film that intrigues by the confluence of the mundane with the extraordinary.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 15, 2005
A peculiar and occasionally engaging thriller that unfortunately lacks thrills.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 6, 2005
Everything that ensues is exactly what we expect to ensue, doled out with a fastidiousness that places too high a priority on verisimilitude and not enough on, y'know, entertainment.

Puts a tense, deteriorating marriage on a highway-bound collision course with a killer.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2004
An exercise in intrigue and tension, and the slow, constant build-up of dread has a certain Hitchcock flair.

A film of pat psychology
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 23, 2004
Before it turns into a thriller, and goes badly awry, Red Lights paints a devastating little portrait of a marriage on the rocks.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 23, 2004
Kahn's amazing ability to sustain a mood of impending dread makes this film a boderline classic.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 16, 2004
Contentious sparks fly off the screen, for Kahn has chosen the most vicious of battlefields for his dramatic grid - an unhappy marriage.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 16, 2004
The power of suggestion is so strong in Red Lights that, when it ends, you may feel like the whole movie was in your mind.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 2, 2004
Thriller/mystery buffs might find the narrative slow; the thriller elements aren't introduced until the movie is nearly half over, and the mystery starts even later. But a dandy payoff will reward those who are patient.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 2, 2004
Cedric Kahn is so adept at building Hitchcockian suspense out of the ordinary that the twist is truly chilling rather than silly.
