Red Lights Reviews

Might not have been the straightforward horror movie many audiences were expecting, with the material being elevated tremendously thanks to the impressive cast.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2023

All of the actors in this impressive cast deserve better than the cornball paranormal yarn they’re ultimately a part of.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 23, 2022

In all, there are some entertaining moments, some well-directed suspense sequences, and some interesting questions about perception. But when it comes to the details of the story - I'm not falling for it.

This is a muggy, lifeless film that should have been better than what it turned out to be.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 31, 2020

This brave undertaking is surely not aimed at the masses, and may be destined to be a cult title in an otherwise worn thin genre.

| Jul 25, 2019

Red Lights remains interesting throughout, but by the end it's appealing in the same way a train wreck is.

| Original Score: 5.3/10 | Jun 29, 2019

The climax is also a touch too weighty -- a little explanation is crucial, but it goes on just a little too long. Still, Red Lights is mostly a fun example of its genre, with both jump scares and narrative surprises.

| Original Score: B | Feb 1, 2019

Red Lights makes for a fairly decent thriller.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 13, 2018

De Niro! Murphy! Olsen! Weaver! With a cast this talented, we weren't expecting the outcome to be so bland.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 28, 2017

It's crushingly disappointing when it falls apart so completely in the second half.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 14, 2013

It almost feels like an occult thriller that has slowly transformed into a comedy -- and you didn't even notice.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 5, 2012

Red Lights has a decent premise, but the script lets the actors down. While it has interesting twists and bucks convention, the story is just far too weak to be enjoyable.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 18, 2012

A fun caper thinly veiled as a supernatural thriller - a mystery loaded with all the tricks and devices recently made popular by M. Night Shyamalan.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Sep 5, 2012

The fact that Red Lights' action doesn't operate in a recognizable universe, however, is a constant problem.

| Original Score: 6.1/10 | Aug 16, 2012

The degree to which Red Lights ultimately peters out is nothing short of spectacular...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 13, 2012

A clever thriller, bolstered by three great performances.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 10, 2012

The film doesn't offer the sense of release, or of surprise, that it seems to take for granted.

| Aug 10, 2012

"The X-Files" is long gone. Hail and farewell. But its spirit lives on in "Red Lights." Hail, hail.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 9, 2012

By strict definition, any movie featuring Robert De Niro as a spoon-bending clairvoyant superstar ought to hold a few cards up its sleeve.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 2, 2012

It's nonsense on a plot level but played seriously without nearly enough personality or edge. Even the film's undeniably talented cast can't save it.

| Original Score: 2.0/5.0 | Aug 2, 2012
