Eggers film Witch captivated my attention. The Lighthouse was no different, with dark shadows casting over the whole film. Willem Defoe was hysterical in Wake's mania and as a solid foundation to Robert Pattinson's mentally collapsing Winslow. As in the Witch I was into these characters, how strange, how sinister they all seemed. The story was engrossing of two men keeping straight a lighthouse for a month. A wonderful film even though the ending was weak as was Witch. Solid acting. Solid musical score. Wonderful viewing.
