Your thoughts on this movie.....

The story of an aging lighthouse keeper named Old who lives in early 20th-century Maine.

 

[Doctor Omega]

Making an astonishing debut with “The Witch,” filmmaker Robert Eggers returns at last with a new dark fantasy horror tale about a pair of lighthouse keepers in 1890 Maine who encounter strange and mythical forces from the sea. Shot on 35mm and on black-and-white film stock as opposed to color and then desaturated, Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson take on the roles of the two keepers in the film which was shot in Nova Scotia and will score a release via A24 like Eggers got with “The Witch”. The distributor has teased it with the promising line: “a totally unique and ambitious universe and manages to somehow feel scary, suspenseful, wondrous, and beautiful all at the same time.”
