Rebecca is a fictional character in the 2016 film Lights Out. She is portrayed by actress Teresa Palmer. She serves as the film's primary protagonist and final girl.[1] Many critics praised Palmer's performance.[2]

Appearances[edit]

Lights Out[edit]

In the 2016 film Lights Out, Rebecca first appears arguing with her mentally unstable mother Sophie which causes her to taker her brother Martin to her apartment. That night, Rebecca awakens to scratching by the figure, who almost attacks her. The next morning, Rebecca finds "Diana" carved onto her floor. She remembers her own bad experiences with Diana from childhood. Rebecca steals a box of recordings of Sophie from the institution, and finds out her mother and Diana were close friends. Later, she finds out that doctors experimented on Diana, but killed her by overexposing her to light. The figure she had been seeing is Diana: her vengeful ghost that manipulates Sophie to manifest, killing anyone that associates with her. On the night Rebecca attempts to help Sophie, Diana attacks her, and is preparing to kill her when Sophie arrives. She realizes that she's the only connection Diana has, and commits suicide as Diana incinerates.[3][4]

Lights Out 2[edit]

Teresa Palmer has expressed interest in reprising her role for the sequel, demonstrating the possibility of Rebecca appearing in the sequel Lights Out 2. In an interview, Palmer said:

"I hope so. I certainly haven't seen enough of this family and I would love to come back again and do a sequel and see what happens to Diana. Or is it Diana who comes back or is it some other entity? You never know, but we'll see. We'll see if everyone is on-board to do a sequel. I mean, I really hope that that would happen."[5][6]

Reception[edit]

The character has generally been well received. Many critics have praised Palmer's performance. Leigh Paatsch of Herald Sun said:

"With few cast members to speak of, the onus falls on Palmer to anchor the film, and she does quite well in filling out a conspicuously underwritten role. While no one would buy Palmer as the heavy-metal enthusiast her character purports to be, she totally owns Lights Out whenever it is time to kick some paranormal butt."[7]

John Orquiola from the website Back of the Head praised Palmer's performance saying "Palmer anchors the tidy horror of Lights Out with determination and conviction. Palmer's desire to protect her younger brother is one of the best sibling relationships in the modern horror genre."[8]
