Two lighthouse keepers (Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe) fight each other for survival and sanity on a remote and mysterious new England island in the 1890s. From Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind horror masterpiece 'The Witch' & the reccent 'Nosferatu' !!
"As a dark fable, The Lighthouse resonates on the level of collective memory and myth, providing a thoroughly engrossing, veritable masterpiece of performance, period detail and visual inventiveness." - Paul Kanieski, KSQD Community Radio
"A rich and strange sea yarn in monochrome that overflows with Beckettian absurdity, as these men, perhaps both liars (literal gaslighters), look, while waiting for ‘relief’, into the abyss of both their elemental isolation & their infernal companionship."- Anton Bitel, Little White Lies
