The 2011 horror film When the Lights Went Out is based on a true story about a family who was haunted by a sinister spirit in their council house. However, with unclear motivations, the characters seem lost. Since the story itself is slightly erratic, this film turns shallow and cliché, heavy on jump scares but light on true tension or suspense.
