	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"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."	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"An ambitious, unwieldy, operatic film about paranormal hoaxes that sure isn’t boring but also, sadly, isn’t very good."	NEU
United Kingdom	Jeremy Kay The Guardian	"A supernatural thriller that is thick with mystery but ultimately unsatisfying (...) Performances are uniformly solid and Cortés is skilled at drawing out tension."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"For its first two acts, the movie had me in its grip. Then it comes apart (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Rodrigo Cortés’s smart, talky screenplay and tense direction hold our attention (...) [The] quest is derailed by elaborate pyrotechnics and a bathroom brawl"	NEU
United States	Noel Murray AV Club	"'Red Lights' peters out once the fights between good and evil become less intellectual and more physical—and thus more common."	NEG
