"The Lighthouse" features two stand-out and possibly career best performances from Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, but the premise and mythology that surround this film left me frustrated. . In this psychological horror film, two lighthouse keepers begin to lose their mind when a storm hits the island on which they are stationed. . Walking into "The Lighthouse" I was on the fence of if I would actually enjoy the film and the truth is, I don't get all the hype. The performances are incredible but the film overall is one big, overly long art house horror film. You must really understand the mythology behind the themes in "The Lighthouse" and if you don't get it, I can guarantee you will walk out of the room. Aside from the performances and the way the film was shot in black and white, this is a huge disappointment and a miss for me. .
