Turn the Lights Off

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2007)

I don't get it. Three teens who are savvy enough to rig up a lot of electronic gadgets but don't realize that if you leave even a computer glowing in a room, people outside can see you.
I think the director might have done it to add to the suspense, but it merely served as a reminder to me that it was a movie. Can't suspend disbelief when characters act out of character.
OK, so Jimmy Stewart made the same mistake in Rear Window--a photographer, an expert in lighting, didn't know enough to turn the lamp off.
To anyone who ever makes a spying-on-your-neighbors movie, turn the stupid lights off.
