The Lighthouse

There is enchantment in the light.

From Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind modern horror masterpiece THE VVITCH, comes this hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe – both, never better – ably command the screen in this thoroughly captivating tale, one of 2019’s indie arthouse gems. THE LIGHTHOUSE is also currently nominated for a Best Cinematography Oscar (Jarin Blaschke).

“Seeps into your bones with the chill of the sea wind…You’d have to search hard to find a movie this hypnotic and haunting.” (Rolling Stone)

“The actors play it big and bold in a visually striking, black and white horror show.” (Chicago Sun-Times)

“Robert Pattinson is superb, but it’s Willem Dafoe who emerges as a giant with a towering, unforgettable performance.” (Detroit News)

“One of the year’s best films. Surreal, powerfully acted, and proves that Robert Eggers is one of the premiere arthouse horror directors working today.” (GenreVision)
