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.

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.

So spooky and intense, unsettling with powerful visuals and the acting is so good! Very trippy/surreal. 100% recommend for psychological horror/thriller lovers.
