how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 53 comments (49 from Metacritic, 4 from TMDB reviews) β 9 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 9 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βFor a movie that relies so heavily on a single, not especially groundbreaking visual effect β now you see the bogeyman, now you donβt β Lights Out is crazy scary.β
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post Β· 88
βThe difference between Lights Out and any other mainstream horror movie is that it actually uses the dark as the center of its plot, organically drawing out the majority of its jump scares in the process.β
Jordan Ruimy, The Playlist Β· 83
βWhile the central visual of the figure in the dark goes a long way to provide the essential scares, the success of the film is just as much about what the filmmakers do to develop the characters that the audience cares about.β
Edward Douglas, New York Daily News Β· 80
βA lean, mean scare-machine, and a surprise contender for horror of the year. Seek it out. Then, for Godβs sake, buy a bedside lamp.β
Simon Crook, Empire Β· 80
βWith characters you care about β principally Teresa Palmerβs appealingly edgy, clichΓ©-bucking Rebecca β and a poignant denouement, this is horror with guts as well as gore.β

βMy son Julian (13) and my lady Tammy, themselves two horror-film aficionados, and I went and saw this theatrically, and we were all quite pleased, though at least Julian and I tend to go for the classic stuff. Well worth checking out, if you're in for this sort of thing.β

βAlthough a simplistic and familiar theme is explored involving sinister forces tormenting a child in distress, Swedish director David F. Sandberg brings something chillingly fresh to his horror/psychological offering **Lights Out**. Sandberg, making his feature film debut, delivers an adequate amount of tension and trickery for all things considered ominous in the edginess of darkness. Lights Out is a reasonable chiller that demonstrates a decent measurement of depth without tripping over its cβ

β2016 continues to be a great year for horror, and _Lights Out_ is a decent example of that, with a whole lot of originality. _Final rating:β β β - I personally recommend you give it a go._β

β**Lights Out is one of the best horror movies of the past decade - a genius concept with an even more brilliant execution.** Lights Out pulls off some of the most creative and impressive visual effects I have ever seen! The concept of a ghost/creature that can only attack through darkness leads to moments in the film that showcase these chilling and clever effects. The actors portray their characters in a way that keeps them from feeling like stereotypical horror tropes. Sandbergβs creativityβ
