I will admit to being a little sceptical of director Rodrigo Cortes’ latest thriller, Red Lights. There have been mixed reviews after it premiered at Sundance a few weeks ago, and the earlier trailer and clip have been intriguing but have certainly not set my world on fire.
However, all that has now changed as the mystery begins to unfold in the brand new, English language trailer which is quite brilliant. I can happily announce that I am sold! Check out the superb trailer at the bottom of this post.
The impressive cast includes Robert De Niro, Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Elizabeth Olsen, Joely Richardson, Toby Jones, Craig Roberts and Karen David. Four character posters have also been published, which are also at the bottom of this post in all their glowing red/orange glory!
Synopsis:
“Two investigators of paranormal hoaxes, the veteran Dr. Margaret Matheson and her young assistant, Tom Buckley, study the most varied metaphysical phenomena with the aim of proving their fraudulent origins. Simon Silver, a legendary blind psychic, reappears after an enigmatic absence of 30 years to become the greatest international challenge to both orthodox science and professional sceptics. Tom starts to develop an intense obsession with Silver, whose magnetism becomes stronger with each new manifestation of inexplicable events. As Tom gets closer to Silver, tension mounts, and his worldview is threatened to its core.”
