From Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind modern horror masterpiece
The Witch, comes this hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers
(William 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.
“The longer the film goes on, the weirder it gets and the more it
resembles a sitcom – The Odd Couple in sou'westers, a droll symphony of
bodily functions, bubbling friction and all manner of desires that dare not
speak their name.” - Financial Times
“The visceral, disgusting, and irrefutably maddening theatrics of The
Lighthouse are entrancing enough to have viewers happily giving themselves over
to a beckoning siren by film's end.” -
