Considering the movie's title, you'd think the lights would be significant--but they aren't. They just appear in the sky from time to time and then disappear.
And that's symptomatic of the whole film: things are just *there*. The teens frolic in a swimming hole, and are apparently spied upon--but we never know for sure. An "incredible meteor shower" drives the road trip, but it's over in minutes, and my local July 4 fireworks show is more exciting. And so on.
I think the biggest fault is the script itself. The story is very thin, and little happens for the first hour. When the plot finally takes off, there's only about 20 minutes left to go.
For an ostensible slasher film, there's little gore, no real profanity, and no nudity (even though several opportunities for it present themselves). Why the version I saw is unrated is anyone's guess.
The final shot sets up a possible sequel, and I surely hope there isn't one.
Overall, I must agree with the earlier reviewer "innocuous"--the production screams "amateur" with every frame. And not in a good way.
