The Lighthouse

From Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind modern horror masterpiece The Witch, comes this hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers struggling to maintain their sanity while stranded on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. Featuring standout performances from its two leads, Robert Pattinson (High Life) and Willem Dafoe (The Florida Project, At Eternity’s Gate), and shot in hypnotic black and white, The Lighthouse, “is a triumph of mood and vision” (Associated Press).

It's funny, high-spirited, and giddily loopy, a descent into madness told with the energy of a sea shanty.
David Sims, The Atlantic
Two primal performances from Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson carry Robert Eggers' second film to glory. Stunningly shot in black and white in the boxy format common in the silent era, The Lighthouse seeps into your bones with a power that won't let go.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
It leaves you dazed, terrified and elated, and it signals Eggers as one of the most exciting directors working today.
Joseph Walsh , Time Out
