The Lighthouse (2019), directed by Robert Eggers, is a psychological horror film set in the late 19th century. The story follows two lighthouse keepers, Thomas Wake and Ephraim Winslow, who are stationed on a remote, storm-battered island. As the isolation and harsh conditions intensify, the men’s sanity begins to unravel. Their strained relationship, built on secrets, power struggles, and mounting tension, leads to a descent into madness.

The film explores themes of guilt, isolation, and the clash between human nature and the supernatural. The lighthouse itself becomes a symbol of both a guiding light and a haunting force. With its striking black-and-white cinematography, eerie sound design, and surreal atmosphere, The Lighthouse immerses viewers in a claustrophobic and unnerving experience. The performances of Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, along with Eggers’ meticulous direction, contribute to the film’s unsettling and thought-provoking tone.
