Guest Post - When the Lights went out

When the lights went out is a British horror film, it is based (loosely I might add) upon a real life haunting in 70s Yorkshire and one that is considered to be the most violent in European history. The film stars Katy Ashfield(Shawn of the dead)

This film is just a British attempt at Paranormal Activity/The exorcist. As usual its not up to par with anything from Hollywood, and even the special effects could be better if it was actually made in the 70s. the acting was so so and the story happened far too quickly with gaping holes the size of continents. At least I wasn't let down by the fact that it was a bad British film, that's all we can make (discounting Harry Potter, cos they were epic).

I would say its worth a watch if you really are a paranormal buff, but otherwise give it a miss and watch something decent like poltergeist (there's a film that was done well)
