As someone with panic disorder, this movie meant a lot to me and scared me in a way a lot of others can't. Thanks for making this video dive into mental illness in a way that didn't feel patronizing. Great stuff man
The first time I had a panic attack I thought is was gonna die but the keep on coming back and I got diagnosed with panic disorder and l m only 12 it really hard for me I hope you are good man and say inside
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.
Elric Engquist you’d be surprise, the state between sleep and being awake, is when your brain is the most activate and the most likely to think of higher ideas and ideologies.
Diego Rojas Is there a way to change the comment to the old ways again? I hate having to click open the comment or skip it entirely then having to scroll back up.
I noticed that when you first see the daughter, if you look in the mirror after she takes a shower she has cutting scars. Which means she's struggled with the same problems her mom had, she was just able to "beat" her depression unlike her mother.
there’s no shame in sleeping with the lights on there’s no shame in sleeping with the lights on there’s no shame in sleeping with the lights on THERE’S NO SHAME IN SLEEPING WITH THE LIGHTS ON
I feel that this movie is the best way to describe depression, I found that when the little boy was saying that people don’t believe him about Diana, was kind of the connection into some people denying they have a mental illness and that it’s just them being sad so they refuse help
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.
My favorite thing about Diana is that shes a very fair antagonist as far as supernatural villains in horror go. A very specific set of rules applies to her and she sticks to those rules even in circumstances where the plot in other movies would conveniently forget about her limitations. I really enjoyed that.
I also thought that the first time I saw this movie, and I felt sorry for Diana(just like I did for the little girl in The Ring)because kids can't help how they're born or who they're born to? I of course am not condoning the bad things she did. 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. It's definitely not a secret how doctors back in the day were even more POS with how they experimented on patients, especially when they didn't need extensive intensive treatment.
This movie definitely hit home for me, as someone who deals with chronic depression and severe anxiety. I also really love the way you handled the connection between Diana and mental illness. It wasn’t patronizing or demonizing. Good job! 👌🏻
First time I have cried from an episode. Best one yet and thank you for going in depth with the metaphors, so many forget that horror isn't a "surface" genre. There is much more to them. Can't wait to see more content like this in the future. 🖤
This was the only horror movie that I ever walked out on in the middle of the movie. The concept of being terrified of the dark while a cloying, toxic demon allegory of depression was preying on one of the characters hit me in such a visceral way that I couldn't stay in the theatre without absolutely losing my mind. Being medicated now and in therapy, I hope to watch the movie and not feel like I'm crawling out of my skin at the same time that I'm drowning.
I have bipolar disorder and paranoid schizophrenia. I used this movie as an example of what I sometimes deal with, so a friend of mine could understand. 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.
You forgot to add the resources in the description. Thank you for this vid. I struggle with chronic depression, this was very informative for not just people who deal with it directly, but also indirectly.
I really enjoyed this movie when it came out, purely for the novelty of the scares. I never bothered to look deeper into the now seemingly obvious analogy to depression. As someone who has suffered from depression the majority of my life, your analysis made me interpret this film differently and appreciate it much more than I ever would have. All I can say is that I wish I had found your channel earlier because your content is some of the best on the platform.
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. This might be obvious but it's interesting
It was also said that Diana didn’t have parents like she came out of nowhere. Pretty much like depression it came out of nowhere and everyone started calming to have it when in reality it’s all in your head and how you live your life.
I feel like Diana it's literally supposed to represent depression or mental illness as a whole.

@@l.a9711depression isn’t all in your head, don’t ever underestimate, the mind is POWERFUL, if you depression can’t get to you mentally it’ll go physically, that’s what I found interesting about diana, at first she was on standby but when the mom or siblings tried doing something about it ( learned this from my therapist and when I was psych class) she physically attacked people, although us depression survivors don’t harm people, there’s a thing called psychological pains, I usually ignore my thoughts whenever they are negative, and if the mind can’t get through to you that something is wrong, what does it do? 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.
I hope we all can appreciate, regardless of intentional or not, being able to make good horror content while picking a character that would allow you to encourage people to remember to stay connected and mentally healthy during oneof the most separating and mentally unhealthy times
I think I loved this episode so much is because I suffer from depression and anxiety myself. All the ties he made to this mental illness were very well described and true for me. 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
Thank you for thinking about those suffering with mental health issues. I suffer from depression and life looks bleak right now but we have to help one another. 🙏🏽
I have fought against clinical depression most of my life and it's nice finally seeing an accurate, if not fantastical, representation of what it's like to be depressed.
The original short is so much scarier than the movie. Maybe because I watched it when I was like 13 and the movie came out when I was older but the short scared the crap out of me as a kid.
one of the worst things about depression is feeling helpless because the people around you just don't understand or won't understand that something they can't see can be so powerful you would do anything to make it stop
I saw the short when i was like 8 and it scared me so much! I decided that I wouldn’t see the movie until i realized that the monster from the short doesnt look like the one from the movie... before i watched it tho i decided to see the ending scene but when diana died i was confused about “how” so i watched this and it helped a lot! Thanks!
Me and my best friend watched the movie at the theaters when it was night time. After it was over we went outside and realized that his mom wouldn’t be there to pick us up till another 40 minutes. It was dark and we avoided any semblance of a dark spot due to our fear of Diana. We ran to Walmart.
I am legitimately considering showing this movie to my mother and telling her to think of Diana as depression She doesn't seem to understand that therapy is an on going process and that just because you feel good for a week it doesn't mean you don't need help anymore. I have panic disorder, depression, anxiety,b.e.d.,and I suspect I may have other mental illnesses. and I suspect I may have
this horror movie was my freaking childhood memory I forget abt it, but then my cousins mentioned horror movie abt shadows like dianna, and then that's the moment when I remember her again:(
I’ve been clinically depressed for the last 7 months and that message at the end hit me hard. I never thought Professor CZ would be the one to strike me emotionally and so personally Update: 14 months later and I’m a lot better, still binging and rewatching CZ’s videos
Found out my bro was having these depressive episodes where he'd drink and leave the house. It got bad to the point where I finally found out since he kept it a secret. My parents don't know, so I have to deal with the secret and so do my siblings. It's crazy how depression hides in the shadows and how it impacts the rest of the family like a mold in a crevice.
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.
@@gothiqz3363 bro stfu, this whole video is literally talking about how the movie's villain is an allegory for depression and this guy is just commenting about their experience. Nobody has to "ask" in order for someone to share an experience of theirs. It's freedom of speech, and this is a public comment section. Don't try to bring people down for opening up about their lives.
Thank you for the depression resources link. I used to have depression and it was a bad time for me. So for everyone who has depression I would like to thank you for the help.
Very well done, and timely...thank you CZ! All of my dear friends in the United States, I know that things are terrible right now--but please hang on. It WILL get better. Soon, the darkness will be a memory. Stay safe.
I love this movie. This movie was awesome to me even before I understand the deeper meaning. Really made me love it even more. 9/10. Maybe even in my top 10 horror movies.
Been watching you for a bit now, and this one came up on my recommended. To this day I can't revisit this movie, even in review form, but I appreciate all the different movies you cover in the horror genre ❤️
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.
Gotta be real, sometimes that does feel like the only way to protect loved ones from being hurt by depression. But I've learned that there's no such thing as a stupid reason to keep going.
Bro i didnt even last 10 minties into this movie, got the literal shit scared out of me. That alone makes it a 10/10, no horror movie has done that to me in a LONG time
Wow... All of your vids have been good. I've never seen a bad one. But this one was not just good, but quite thought provoking as well. You did an amazing job bro. Nicely done.
as someone who struggles, and from family around getting upset that im struggling.. i just wanna say, you're not weak for going thru it. I've been called lazy, a whiner, etc but they dont understand and thats okay. hang in there
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. ❤️
As someone with panic disorder, this movie meant a lot to me and scared me in a way a lot of others can't. Thanks for making this video dive into mental illness in a way that didn't feel patronizing. Great stuff man

I’d actually say that the horror icon of the 10’s is the babadook
The babadook is the most terrifying thing ever
I agree. That movie was a horror film based on depression. And yet, every time I suggest it to friends they actually say...what is that?
Tht movie was not scary at all
this horror movie was my freaking childhood memory I forget abt it, but then my cousins mentioned horror movie abt shadows like dianna, and then that's the moment when I remember her again:(
wow, just WOW - what an insane, deep and incredible well done recap.
What a worthy recommandation for once, glad I found this channel.
Diana also gives me possessive vibes and her relationship with Sophie gives me mutual codependency vibes as well
I’ve been clinically depressed for the last 7 months and that message at the end hit me hard. I never thought Professor CZ would be the one to strike me emotionally and so personally
Update: 14 months later and I’m a lot better, still binging and rewatching CZ’s videos
This hits hard I’ve suffered from depression so that movie gave me a whole new look on it
1:28
So, he first blow his brains out and then write on the wall with his blood?!🤔
Maybe he was self harming before.
@@AnnieMustange My theory exactly.
Dianne killed him
Hmmm
I just keep to watch a video about horror and now I get thing to help with my mental health thanks man you're the best
Was about to go down to write an early message then remembered half way down youtube moved the comments for seriously no good reason
as someone who is suffring from deprission this hits so close to home
This movie has been the most successful in scaring the shit out of me when im alone
this is nostalgic since i was always freaked out completely by horror but lights out was my first ever horror movie and i never looked back afterwards
Found out my bro was having these depressive episodes where he'd drink and leave the house. It got bad to the point where I finally found out since he kept it a secret. My parents don't know, so I have to deal with the secret and so do my siblings. It's crazy how depression hides in the shadows and how it impacts the rest of the family like a mold in a crevice.
This is the best moment you can relate a horror film and depression together during an epidemic good job.
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.
Okay, who asked?
@@gothiqz3363 bro stfu, this whole video is literally talking about how the movie's villain is an allegory for depression and this guy is just commenting about their experience. Nobody has to "ask" in order for someone to share an experience of theirs. It's freedom of speech, and this is a public comment section. Don't try to bring people down for opening up about their lives.
I'm glad that you were able to feel better! It was probably the right decision to move away or else things might get worse for you
Thank you for the depression resources link. I used to have depression and it was a bad time for me. So for everyone who has depression I would like to thank you for the help.
I love your channel so much ! keep up the great work and hope you're doing well during quarantine !!
This was one of the best scary movies I’ve seen in a while. Great analysis.
Very well done, and timely...thank you CZ! All of my dear friends in the United States, I know that things are terrible right now--but please hang on. It WILL get better. Soon, the darkness will be a memory. Stay safe.
I remember I didn't like this movie very much, but how you connected it to depression was AWESOME
As a ginger that July joke is very accurate. Well done well done.
Day walkers live!!!!!!!
You did a beautiful job with this video. Even changing the outro was nice touch to fit the theme.
Light: Exists
Diana: ...and I took that personally.
Really underrated modern horror movie. Glad you covered this one.
I want CZsWorld to introduce himself one day as “the non-killer ghostface.”
I love this movie. This movie was awesome to me even before I understand the deeper meaning. Really made me love it even more. 9/10. Maybe even in my top 10 horror movies.
Does anyone agree he should do “the strain?” That’s is one of my fav tv shows
Hits too close to home now!
CZsWorld plz
That ending until we both stay inside really made me happy you changed it for the video for mental health your my favorite TH-camr keep it up man !!
this movie is the reason why I can’t sleep in complete darkness
Been watching you for a bit now, and this one came up on my recommended. To this day I can't revisit this movie, even in review form, but I appreciate all the different movies you cover in the horror genre ❤️
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.
The fact you give resources at the end❤ *SLAMS SUBSCRIBE BUTTON*
Gotta be real, sometimes that does feel like the only way to protect loved ones from being hurt by depression.
But I've learned that there's no such thing as a stupid reason to keep going.
Mate as someone who suffers from depression I just wanted to say that it's awesome you added resources to the end of the video .. you rock ..
Bro i didnt even last 10 minties into this movie, got the literal shit scared out of me. That alone makes it a 10/10, no horror movie has done that to me in a LONG time
Wow... All of your vids have been good. I've never seen a bad one. But this one was not just good, but quite thought provoking as well. You did an amazing job bro. Nicely done.
This movie made my phobia of dark worst for two years
as someone who struggles, and from family around getting upset that im struggling.. i just wanna say, you're not weak for going thru it. I've been called lazy, a whiner, etc but they dont understand and thats okay. hang in there
I love your vids and I love Lights Out!!!!
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. ❤️
Thanks for sharing your story -- hope you're doing OK and wish you the best 💀
