About this movie

On the edge of the Antarctic circle, a young man, Friend, comes to a desolate island poised to take up the post of weather observer. But he finds no trace of the man he has been sent to replace, just a deranged brute in the lighthouse who has witnessed a horror he refuses to name. Friend realizes that something else lurks on the island, when nightly invasions of unknown creatures emerge in the dark from the ocean.

You have to look at the symbolism of this film in the context of colonialism, cultural assimilation, and the human fear of the "other" or different in society. Look at it through the lens of the native Americans and how europeans were seen when they landed. Your compassion will switch suddenly when you think about it in this way.
