The Lighthouse

Robert Eggers’ “The Lighthouse” emphasizes isolation and insanity to the point where it feels as though you’re in a coma induced nightmare more so than it feels to simply be watching the film. It evokes an overwhelming feeling of dread and a sense of your own isolation rather than genuinely scaring you. This movie excels at attempting to haunt you. Eggers burst onto the scene in 2015 with his critically acclaimed, “The VVitch,” and if you found that film to be inaccessible, then it’s likely that you’ll despise nearly every second of The Lighthouse.
