I havn´t laughed this mutch in awhile. As a horror movie i give it 1/10, but as a farce, which i saw this movie as - a 5/10.

In no way did the characters act credible as lighthouse keepers from the 1890s. Or cimply as people - with or without all the madness. But don´t get me wrong - both Dafoe and Pattinson are excellent as lunatics. After 15 minutes i couldn´t stop laughing when Dafoes sour old fart of a character showed up on the screen.

Neither of the two (Dafoe and Pattinson) were the least bit scary just unduly crazy, in sometimes, tragic-comical Ways. So as a horror or mystery movie this film is a joke but due to the actors ability to express madness and the creators over the top weird scenes - it often became laughable instead (even though it probably wasnt ment to be). Reviewers interprets a lot of different "truth" in all the fog and crazieness - but to me the result was just a splash of rubbish.

In the end, its not a particularly good movie in any way, so a 5/10 for the performances by the two.
