Since it's shot in one room basically with two actors doing pretty much nothing, why were there 8 companies involved? Did each one take on the movie and realize what a drag it was and passed it on to another?

I stayed for the atmosphere as I watched this movie slowly but steadily lose any purpose with every passing minute and turn into nothing.

This film wasn't bad at all. Great acting, atmospheric and based on reality. I watched this wondering when Willem Defoe would make an appearance. Will watch that next. I don't know what some people expect from films.

The Lighthouse: Based on a true story, the events occurred in 1801 when two keepers were cut off on an offshore Lighthouse for months by a freak storm. Atmosphere is everything in this film, the silence, then the quarrelling. Food runs low. One of the keepers dies but seems to haunt the other. Or is it just imagination/hallucinations? The surviving keeper already blames himself for the deaths of six sailors when he fell asleep and let the light go out at another lighthouse. Directed by Chris Crow and written by Paul Bryan. 7/10.

It was a very enjoyable film and then the final 20-30 minutes killed it for me. Religious nonsense certainly has a way of ruining everything!!

This movie, while based on true events, is slow and methodical in it presentation. Yes it is about two lighthouse keepers stuck in a lighthouse 25 miles from land off the coast of Ireland. It basically portrays them going crazy due to months of isolation.

A British drama; A story inspired by a true event in 1801 about two men in an isolated lighthouse on The Smalls, a forbidding cluster of basalt rocks 25 miles off the Welsh coast. It's glum and bleak, and the narrative leads to the macabre, but ultimately, it's a dour and disappointing drama. It's not difficult to create drama with a two-hander in a lighthouse, but the director makes hard work of it. The two characters are given a scant backstory, so the actors are left to give nuance, but they create what comes across as unexplained moodiness and skulking, which becomes tedious, and dialogue that adds very little and is telegraphed by their facial expressions. This is underscored by foreboding music that grates while it lasts a full half hour. Trite lines are repeated, like "until the job is done," referring to inclement weather, and "we have a job to do," which might seem ironic for a persevering viewer.

Great reflection of a true story of two lighthouse keepers coping when a terrible storm struck. Well presented with a magical relationship between them albeit belligerent at times. It shows how difficult the life of a lighthouse keeper was and the good work they did to save lives of passing boats and ships.

After watching The Lighthouse with Robert Pattinson and William Daffoe, this movie pales in comparison. But it's kind of fun to see the small similarities and how Robert Eggers direction makes for a far more interesting story on so many levels.

Having seen Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse in 2019, I was curious to see what this Lighthouse had to offer as it was three years earlier. Unfortunately, it's basically the same thing but way more conventional and far less interesting on a story and technical level.

Having two characters with very little personality and intrigue means most of the time the conversations are boring and lack any punch. A significant event that occurs in this film ironically makes the whole thing even more boring. The madness element is not really done in any exciting way, the set designs are passable at best and any attempted scares/weirdness fail to leave any lasting impression at all.

So if you're a fan of the 2019 The Lighthouse, I'd suggest you stay away from this one. There's no standout performances, no interesting visuals, nothing really to talk about after you've finished, and it's just dull as dishwater honestly. I've already forgotten almost everything about this film, but the 2019 Lighthouse still sticks with me. Not the worst watch in the whole wide world I'll give it that, but otherwise lame and kind of bad.

3/10

Just awful tbf.... thatwastoshortrandomlettersqwerty

This really is a superbly cast and very well acted film, that psychologically grips us from imagining ourselves in the situations. I am shocked by the aggregate review; it ought to be much higher.

The film is based on a true story, but if you're looking for a light film this is not it.

It haunts so much that I still think of it 4 years after its release.

Thought this was the great movie which was recommended to me by multiple people, ended up spending 2 hours watching a movie with absolutely no storyline, horrible dialouge, with unlikeable characters that had no depth to them.

The most boring movie I've ever watched in my entire life.

I'm all for lonely atmospheric character based stories but despite a promising start this movie doesn't explore an interesting (though not very unique) story. In the end it feels repetitive, predictable and drawn out, even tho the acting is ok. Could have been 40 minutes shorter.

Atmospheric, moody, with the potential to be a great psychological thriller, but sadly degenerates into two men yelling at each other and drinking a seemingly inexhaustable supply of grog.

Without much back story for these dishevelled lighthouse keepers in a craggy outcrop set in 1801 it's hard to get emotionally invested in their plight when things start to go wrong. As it progressed I just wanted it to end. Plot holes appear very quickly and the timeline gets a little muddled. Initially they have a Kings banquet of food stores yet a mere month in they are down to rashuns. But always well stocked with grog... A brutal storm rages outside while inside the brooding characters quickly become bitter enemies fighting each other and their own inner demons. One uses his religion as solace while the other ridicules him constantly for using God as strength, an embittered atheist who becomes a very unlikeable character. And in a darkened atmosphere the descent into madness begins. And drags on. The night seems endless and here the movie descends into a frustrating mishmash of illusions and delusions and self loathing. And always the grog... It had potential to be good, and will always be compared to the 2019 version which was superior in most ways, so this will be forever be the lesser of the two 'Lighthouse' movies. I scored it mostly for the set and atmosphere. The weak story and unlikeable characters added little to this overly long movie for me.

BAFTA-award winning supernatural thriller THE LIGHTHOUSE, starring Michael Jibson (Hunter Killer, Beauty and the Beast) and Mark Lewis Jones (Star Wars : The Last Jedi, "Game of Thrones"), hits theaters and VOD this July.

2 lighthouse keepers are stuck on an island during a raging storm for months. Food and rations are low and there sanity is getting the best of them.

This is Open Water in a lighthouse. Claustrophobia and atmospheric brings this suspenseful movie to the screen.

The movie starts off normal enough and just escalates into pure madness. Dark stormy nights test the sanity of the two man n characters in there quest for sanity and to continue guiding ship in the historic 1801 storm.

What makes this scarier is it's based on true events. The actors who play the two Toms do a tremendous and convincingly accurate portrayal of two frightened men as they descended into madness.

When the storm clears what will be left of these men mentally.

A true human survival story, excellently executed and beautifully filmed as the angry Irish Sea plays the main role.

What makes this scarier...it's based on a true story!

A true horror story!

Directed by Chris Crow, and nominated for five BAFTA awards including Best Director and Best Actor, winning Best Visual Effects, THE LIGHTHOUSE opens in select theaters July 6and VOD July 10.

It's starts off quite good. Solid characters and performances, weaving and interesting story. There is a major turn of events for the characters, at which point the appeal is quickly lost. I was just shaking my head at the end. Had any semblance of a story been maintained, it would have been a good flick.
