In Lights Out, out in UAE cinemas on September 8, Palmer plays a young woman who has distanced herself from her family because of trauma she experienced growing up, but is drawn back in when her younger brother begins to experience the same things she went through. “I remember I had a touch-lamp next to my bed and I would tap it on the brightest light, and I remember my mum would always come in and she was like, ‘That’s too bright to sleep, we’ve got to put it on the dimmer one,’ and I was like, ‘OK, goodnight, mum.’ And then right back up to the bright one. Teresa Palmer says she tapped into a part of herself that was scared of the dark as a child for her new horror movie, Lights Out.
