    DARKNESS WILL CONSUME YOU. There have been many horror icons over the last 50 years who have come to be symbols for their respective decades: Michael Myers in the 70s, Freddy Krueger in the 80s, Ghostface in the 90s and Jigsaw in the 00s. Since many of the most popular horror films in the 10s have invisible or unseen antagonists, I think you can make a case for Diana Walter as the face of the decade.
    Diana is the "disappearing woman" who vanished from the facility she was being treated at for her rare skin disorder, and came back to haunt her victim, Sophie Lloyd and her family for decades to come.
    I'll be looking into the files collected from that institution to learn more about Diana's past, and I'll analyse her entire known history as I discuss how the character is actually an allegory for Sophie's depression and mental illness. To do this I'll be using the source material, David F Sandberg's 2016 debut film: Lights Out.

    About Lights Out
    When Rebecca left home, she thought she left her childhood fears behind. Growing up, she was never really sure of what was and wasn’t real when the lights went out…and now her little brother, Martin, is experiencing the same unexplained and terrifying events that had once tested her sanity and threatened her safety. A frightening entity with a mysterious attachment to their mother, Sophie, has reemerged.
    But this time, as Rebecca gets closer to unlocking the truth, there is no denying that all their lives are in danger… once the lights go out.

    As a person diagnosed with major depressive disorder I can tell you this movie hit very close to home, I live with Diana everyday. Sunlight therapy helps but so does animal therapy, which I feel they missed in this really really close to reality movie, then again I'd hate to see what Diana would do to a doggo.

      @@e6e6fa. I was diagnosed at 14, for me it is bouts of extreme depression. There are times that I am just "tired'. I dont get out of bed for days at other times I am full of energy and cant sleep overly hyperactive. I have been hospitalized twice once for a suicide attempt and the other for working 20 hrs a day 6 days a week for 9 weeks straight. MDD is different for everyone though. I have been in treatment for 26 yrs, it's on going and will never get any better for me but I take it one day at a time and learned coping skills that helps. If you feel sad to extreme frequently or think about harming yourself even if it's just frequent dreams of self harm seek help pls.

    I think depression also hits harder at night to when you're trying to go to sleep because you're not doing anything and it's usually dark so your mind for some reason usually takes a turn for the worst. I just feel like that's how it is for someone people. Not saying Everyone.

    The most disturbing part of Diana’s backstory is that her condition is all too real. It is called xeroderma pigmentosum, and anything like “heliotherapy” would actually be torturously painful to anyone with this genetic condition. It wouldn’t make them just disappear, but it could certainly cause them to die in agony, like being set on fire.

I wish they'd make a sequel explaining more about Diana because for all we know, she might've lashed out at ppl due to how they treated her....we all know how nasty human beings can be.

    I feel like Diana is literally supposed to represent depression or mental illness as a hole. It's this scary thing that makes you feel vulnerable, afraid, anxious, stressed out, and crazy. And most times it always comes back when you're at your worst. It hurts other people too, not physically but more mentally and emotionally. Maybe the killing part she does is supposed to be like depression and insecurities or anxiety shutting you off from everyone in the world. And it disappears when you do aka when you die.

It turns it physical, I didnt know it was a thing until I told my therapist that I wasn’t experiencing that badly depression but was experiencing really bad knee pains as well as hip pains, even when I haven’t done anything to cause it, so one way or another your mind will tell you something is wrong.

He said that if that's the day to day for a person suffering from mental illnesses, then he wants to help people to see the brighter side of life in anyway he can. He contacts me every day, and has for years now. He goes out his way to help. This movie is kinda responsible for his attitude now.

Seeking help from someone close is the best option but also the hardest. I went to my cousin first and she encouraged me to go to my mum and get professional help. I'm currently seeing a therapist and on medication for my depression to help me

    A few years back I suffered a minor case of depression, not bad enough to be considered depression but I started a little coping mechanism just to get through the day. That coping unfortunately was to buy stuff and I ended up spending $1000 in a month on music, gaming stuff and movies.
    The reason I got into that situation was because I got into an argument with my mother and for that entire month she refused to even talk to me. It only ended when my dad came home for a few days and he managed to make things a little better. Things still aren’t completely okay since the thing that’ll help me most right now is to just move away from my mother’s reach since she’s gotten to the point of being mentally and emotionally abusive that I’m afraid she’s going to break me if I don’t leave.

    What if Diana didn’t die? She’s like a Marvel character. In the movie she could shadow hop, and even before her extreme light procedure had super strength (broke other people’s bones). When the Mulberry doctors did the extreme light therapy, and under intense stress just developed her powers. Diana’s powers would be shadow hopping, telepathy, super strength, cat claws, and scary face.

    Thank you for this. You helped a lot of us with mental illness feel understood. I have depression and panic disorder. Honestly I never would have made this deep of a connection with Diana and depression. I love this movie but maybe, sub-consciously, that's the reason why. Sunlight does help with my depression but sometimes the anxiety keeps me from going outside even to sit in the porch. I'm proud of myself for having a therapist and psychiatrist and staying on my meds. My family never checks on me and all "pretend" it'll go away. I've been close to suicide more than once and they don't seem to notice or care. Anyway, great review. Oh and as a joke to my therapist I told her I was fine with a quarantine because I've been self isolating for yrs lol. Told her this is my dream world to be told to stay home and avoid people. (But I'm a little different in that I wk in the hospital so I haven't been at home this whole time.) Stay strong everyone and don't let this crazy time get to you. You are loved. ❤️

Later, we all went out to eat and they were starting to lock up when that same friend told me that it was so we couldn’t get away from Diana when they turned the lights off. My sister finally had enough and dragged me to get ice cream, leaving that friend to drive home alone at 10 o clock at night. Only her and one of her friends never laughed and she was the only one that went home with us that night.
