WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the late 19th century, two lighthouse keepers (Pattinson and Dafoe) arrive on a remote New England island for a routine four-week shift. However, as the time slowly goes by, both men find their sanity starting to slip away…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Robert Eggers’ long-awaited follow-up to his break-out horror hit The Witch is a chilling and brilliantly realised paranoia piece that’s anchored by striking black-and-white cinematography and two outstanding performances from Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.
