I wouldn't bother with The Lighthouse. It's creepy for nearly 2 hours but, in the end, pretentious and non-sensical.

I don't much like Eggers. I didn't like The Witch either. Both films were super-hyped, and both underwhelmed me with their stilted writing and pseudo-artistic editing. I like my horror more straight up, no BS. Like Rosemary's Baby or The Exorcist or John Carpenter style. Eggers has no warmth, no likable characters, no involvement of the audience on a compassionate level. Oh, and no laughs! No fun. Zero fun. Horror should be sort of fun, too, or what's the point?

This movie is just not enjoyable to watch in any sense. And it doesn't tell any kind of real story at all. Except maybe how loneliness is a drag, alcohol can lead to madness & life is about bad karma coming back to bite you? I mean, not sure, don't care, not interested, not impressed.
