The Lighthouse: A mesmerizing gem

The Lighthouse is one such example of creative filmmaking, yet it remains a hidden gem among the conglomeration of fall releases. Robert Eggers visionary horror flick maintains a simple premise: Two lighthouse keepers, Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe) and Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson), struggle to uphold their sanity when stranded on a lighthouse island in the 1890s. The Lighthouse, while seeming to identify with the independent, exploratory realm of filmmaking, solidifies itself as a member of the horror genre. We, too, want Winslow to reach that lighthouse lamp, not for his supposed clarity, but for our own.
