About this movie

From Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind the modern horror masterpiece The Witch, comes this hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. As an approaching storm threatens to sweep them from the rock and strange apparitions emerge from the fog, each man begins to suspect that the other has become dangerously unmoored.

Ratings and reviews

Bizarre and engaging, this film is not predictable - which these days is very refreshing. That said, it does draw from many classic horror and historical themes, though never too heavy handedly. Both actors perfectly suit their roles, but Defoe has the most gravitas. A very odd film, but worth a watch if phycological horror, mental degeneration and nebulous threat appeals to you.

I must not make brash judgments only having see a brief trailer of this film. Not Having seen this film yet but I'm intrested in seeing this film. sure this film could be something along the lines of Brian lynchs differcult to understand Eraserhead this could be a masterpeice of terror a cult classic.

Load of rubbish, two men working on a lighthouse, and the finish was the worst ending ever... Waste of £9.99 for a black and white pile of dirt!
