Your Guide to ‘The Lighthouse’ Now on Netflix – Should You Watch It? Check Reviews, Cast, Trailer, Synopsis, and More

Robert Eggers is a visionary director. What he did to the horror genre with
films like The VVitch and The Lighthouse, has completely changed the way we see
the genre. He creates a sense of unrest just with his camera movements and use
of sublime music. His last horror film, The Lighthouse, was critically acclaimed
not only for its storytelling brilliance but also for exceptional work by the
cast. And now The Lighthouse is coming to Netflix for our convenience.


EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE LIGHTHOUSE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO STREAM IT
ON NETFLIX

It is unbelievable to think that The Lighthouse is Eggers’s second horror film
only after the incredibly successful The VVitch. The film has to be among the
top ten movies that premiered at the Cannes festival in the year 2019. The movie
has many pros but what stands out the most is it’s albeit short yet
exceptionally great and telented cast.

CAST AND THE CHARACTERS THEY PLAY

The movie is about isolation and the “deadly” effects of being alone with only
your thoughts to keep you company. Thus, it has a really short cast and revolves
around two men who take a job caring for an old lighthouse.

Robert Pattinson as Ephraim Winslow- Winslow is the rookie in the film. He was a
timberman before. Winslow takes the job at the isolated lighthouse, thinking the
separation will give him time to think about his life.

However, the loneliness does him more bad than good. For the majority of the
film, we follow Winslow having hallucinations of being troubled by an evil
seagull. And if that’s not enough, his only partner on the island is not that
great, to say the least.

Willem Dafoe as Thomas Wake-  What creates the most rift and tension in the film
is that its two main characters are polar opposites of each other. Where Winsloe
is a rookie unaware of sea myths, Thomas Wake has been a sea man all his life.
He knows all the tales of the sea and superstitions that sailors need to follow.
Many times in the film, it is Thomas, who is creating problems for Winsloe with
his constant bickering and drinking problem.

WHAT IS THE FILM ABOUT?

The Lighthouse has a pretty perplexing narrative, which gets spoiled within
seconds of discussing it. The plot revolves around two who are alone at a
lighthouse. To care for it and retain it for a few weeks. As things become
bizarre and eerie, the couple loses count of themselves and their time in the
lighthouse.
