A hallucinatory descent into madness, The Lighthouse follows two isolated 19th-century lighthouse keepers trapped on a stormtossed island, where claustrophobic isolation, supernatural hallucinations, and mythic symbolism spiral into psychological breakdown. Shot in striking blackandwhite, Robert Eggers relentless mood piece blends surreal horror with existential dread and Folkloric maritime myth Arrow Video From Robert Eggers, the visionary director of The Witch and The Northman, comes The Lighthouse, a hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two men teetering on the edge of sanity. Two wickies - one inexperienced (Robert Pattinson, Tenet), the other a grizzled veteran (Willem Dafoe, To Live and Die in LA) - arrive on a remote New England island in the 1890s for a four-week stint maintaining the local lighthouse. But as isolation and personal differences take their toll, both men slowly succumb to their inner demons and to the strange, otherworldly allure of the lighthouse itself... Featuring virtuoso performances by its two leads, striking and period-authentic monochrome photography, and shot through with wickedly dark humour, The Lighthouse is an intense, claustrophobic experience like no other that cements Eggers status as one of the most exciting filmmakers of our time.
