What is this movie about? Two men that are isolated on an island as keepers of the lighthouse. Sold as a horror movie is baffling to me. What was horrific for me was the punishing slow pace of the film. Where was the horror, where was the twist I was waiting for after enduring the "slow burn". The acting is suoerperb, it was atmospherics, love the choice of black and white and the editing was also top notch. This was also sold as an "art film". I am passionate about a filmmakers choice to take the audience on an unexpected ride that is not constrained by main stream conventions. This film hits that mark, however, the pay off for the audience is not delivered. But, the awards the accolades, the positive reviews are to me hogwash. The audience is duped by the experts who gave this movie legitimacy. I'm going to call bull on this. Watch at your own risk but don't expect to be wowed by the revolution that the film is boring , and mind numbing.
