Wow, this film turned itself around! The first third of the film felt very repetitive. However, it was incredibly valuable and important to the story line. Before even knowing that the horror film was directed by Robert Eggers, we felt that it had a very “The Witch” type vibe to it, which also is similar to 1922. This vibe being, how the horror in the film is all psychological, and the characters friction and paranoia is what gives us that fear. After the first third of the film, we begin to get an understanding into the horror of the movie, where we feel just as isolated and anxious as Ephraim whilst he is working at the lighthouse. The film is in black and white, which we felt was needed. Overall, do we think that horror film lovers will enjoy this? Absolutely. But the hype of is probably a little bit too much, as most audiences won’t like it due to the slow paced, black and white style approach. Either way, we’ll definitely think twice before taking that new job based in the middle of nowhere! P.s, this is definitely one of those films you may have to watch twice!
