'Red Lights' hits the brakes ★ 1/2

One hour and 53 minutes of paranormal inactivity, writer-director Rodrigo Cortes' yakky "Red Lights" is a distinct comedown from the Spanish filmmaker's previous (and second) feature, "Buried,"a stern thriller (too stern for American audiences; it made 95 percent of its money overseas) featuring Ryan Reynolds in a fearsomely confining coffin.
