An old sailor lives on a remote New England island at the turn of the 19th century, taking care of the lighthouse. When young, handsome Ephraim Winslow arrives to assist, the two men fight the elements, the spirits, and each other and slowly descend into madness.

The stunning psychological thriller from Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind modern horror masterpiece The Witch, is shot on 35mm black-and-white. Both Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson are sensational in this hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of male loneliness.
