The Lights and Running From Machetes and Repetition: A Movie Review
*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Osiris Entertainment.

Director: John Sjogren.

Writer: Bonnie Orr.

Cast: Derek Lee Nixon, Kerry Wallum and Oscar Lusth.

Slasher films are a dime a dozen, and The Lights is just one of many “killer” titles coming from Osiris Entertainment. That is, if this company is typecasting itself with the kinds of movies it likes to distribute, then The Lights is a comical addition to the slasher-film genre. Most of it is unintentional; the humour cannot go unnoticed especially when Jack Carter is the crazed killer with some silly one-liners, lame kill-zone moments, and uninispired deadpan deliveries.

Some people may want to know why he has gone cuckoo. The explanation is given with the opening act. When he comes home only to have his wife say she’s leaving him because she is in love with someone else, he simply goes berserk.
