Wasting the talents of an impressive cast on a predictable mystery, Red Lights lacks the clairvoyance to know what audiences want.

6.1/10
The fact that Red Lights' action doesn't operate in a recognizable universe, however, is a constant problem. Go to Full Review Bruce DeMara Toronto Star 08/10/2012
3.5/4
A clever thriller, bolstered by three great performances. Go to Full Review Adam Litovitz Globe and Mail 08/10/2012
The film doesn't offer the sense of release, or of surprise, that it seems to take for granted. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 09/20/2023
4/5
Might not have been the straightforward horror movie many audiences were expecting, with the material being elevated tremendously thanks to the impressive cast. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/23/2022
1.5/4
All of the actors in this impressive cast deserve better than the cornball paranormal yarn they’re ultimately a part of. Go to Full Review Josh Long Battleship Pretension 03/10/2021
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Santiago C @RT18086744 Jun 30 me encanto es buena. me gustaría que hicieran una peli de romance con elizabeth y cillian seria única y maravillosa See more Ti H. @Tihas Feb 21 This is fantastic! Terrific cast, & unlike others, I loved the ending! Cillian was top of his game in this. Best role for him since his breakout role in 28 days later. Highly recommend ❤️❣️😍 See more Paul S @PManRager Dec 11 It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but I didn't think it was that bad. For some reason, this movie managed to get an incredible cast, but I feel their talents were wasted on a lackluster story. I still found the concept really intriguing, and I was really interested to see how the story ended. I'd definitely recommend it for drama, thriller, and paranormal fans! See more Ria P @RT48148246 Aug 31 Ugh, the potential was tremendous! The cast, a delight! The first part - so intriguing and catchy - talking about belief, truth, fears and facts. BUT THE ENDING! ruined it all. rly. See more Diree T @RT07472679 Aug 24 Starts off strong, great actors, etc. But then, it just ... gets ... weird. And trippy. And I guess, you can find enjoyment in that, but I was just asking myself "WTF?" And that ending ... yeah, no. See more Emma G @RT16945031 Aug 24 Great movie ,very original.a movie you have to think about,many great actors in the film also See more Read all reviews
