Neon Lights Review: Psychological Thriller Quickly Loses The Plot
Psychological thrillers live and die by the minds of their protagonist and, when those prove untrustworthy, the audience is left with nothing but themselves to make sense of what's on the screen before them. In Neon Lights, Clay Amani (Dana Abraham) is at the center of the narrative and can be seen as a typical unreliable narrator — if there were any narrative cohesion to what is happening in the hour and a half put on film. Neon Lights shows promise, but it quickly buckles under the weight of an identity crisis. The film is unsure if wants to be a portrait of a man on the verge, a slasher, or a psychological chamber piece, and it ultimately fails to live up to any of these ideas.
