Critics' reviews

"Cortes is more committed to pulling the rug out from under his audience than he is to telling a good yarn. (...) this otherwise slick pic could require reshoots to restore it to something commercial crowds are willing to take seriously."

Peter Debruge: Variety
"For its first two acts, the movie had me in its grip. Then it comes apart (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"Rodrigo Cortés’s smart, talky screenplay and tense direction hold our attention (...) [The] quest is derailed by elaborate pyrotechnics and a bathroom brawl"

Jeannette Catsoulis: The New York Times
"'Red Lights' peters out once the fights between good and evil become less intellectual and more physical—and thus more common."

Noel Murray: AV Club
"An ambitious, unwieldy, operatic film about paranormal hoaxes that sure isn’t boring but also, sadly, isn’t very good."

Tim Grierson: Screendaily
"A supernatural thriller that is thick with mystery but ultimately unsatisfying (...) Performances are uniformly solid and Cortés is skilled at drawing out tension."

Jeremy Kay: The Guardian
