Lights Out – Who's There Film Challenge (2013) from David F. Sandberg on Vimeo.

After Martin’s father is killed by a mysterious presence in the dark, he starts having trouble sleeping at night. School officials notice him sleeping in class and attmept to call his mother, Sophie, but cannot get an answer. They call his sister, Rebecca, and she comes to pick him up. We learn that Rebecca had distanced herself from her mother and her father went away because of her mother’s mental issues when she goes off her meds. Turns out the mother has a friend named Diana that does not like lights. Rebecca, her boyfriend Bret, and Martin look into Sophie’s past for a hint on the very real, very supernatural, Diana. We get jump scares galore and an ending that leaves room for a sequel, but has satisfying closure regardless.

TL;DR: Fun movie with Jump Scares and an ending that goes to places you do not normally go to. See it with a crowd in the theater.

If he were to write his own personal ad, it would simply read: “Full of life and energy, fascinated by the world, enjoys the outdoors, lover of attention, and seeker of play.”

Pets of the Week July 25, 2016

Veronica3-year-old, 30 lb. Boston Terrier mix, Veronica, is a combination of terrier enthusiasm and Bulldog gentle sweetness and good sense. She has a sly sense of humor and loves to clown around. She is smart, enjoys plenty of attention and loves to be with people, especially if that means sitting on a lap or sharing a bed or sofa. She’s definitely a cuddler and a snuggler. Veronica can entertain herself, especially if she has a favorite toy or two, but she’d much rather be doing something with her family.

Gladys-PetuniaSlender, sleek, and silly are these satin black twin sisters. Gladys and Petunia were born in foster care and, now at 3-months-old, are more than ready to be adopted. These girls are fun with a capital “F” and, like human siblings, will flip-flop from playing to arguing for no evident reason. Adopting these two entertaining girls would bring lots of life and love to a home and figuring out which is which could be a fun family game.
