I’m a fan of writer/director Rodrigo Cortes. Not everyone enjoyed his single location thriller Buried starring Ryan Reynolds but I thought he did a great job of building so much suspense with such limited space. His next film, titled Red Lights, is gearing up for a July 13 release and yesterday the official US trailer was released for it. The paranormal thriller features an awesome cast comprised of Cillian Murphy, Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Olsen and Toby Jones.
The cast alone is enough for me to see the movie but having the chance to see DeNiro and Murphy go head to head in a creepy paranormal/psychic thriller is definitely a rare opportunity to see talented performers go head to head in a genre they rarely touch.
Veteran paranormal researchers Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver) and Tom Buckley (Cillian Murphy) debunk fraudulent claims of ghost whispering, faith healing and other psychic phenomena by detecting what Matheson calls “red lights,” the subtle tricks behind every staged supernatural occurrence. But when the legendary blind psychic Simon Silver (Robert De Niro)comes out of retirement after 30 years, his once-fearless adversary Matheson warns Buckley to back off, fearing reprisal from the powerful Silver. Determined to discredit Silver, Buckley and his star student (Elizabeth Olsen) use every tool at their disposal to uncover the truth behind the charismatic, spoon-bending, mind reader. But Buckley is forced to reexamine his own core beliefs as his quest builds to a mind-blowing conclusion in this taut psychological thriller from award-winning writer and director Rodrigo Cortes (Buried).
