Trivia

The camera gear kept breaking down constantly because of the miserable weather conditions and because three different camera equipments from three different time periods coupled together were being used. Robert Pattinson had to walk into the ocean around 25 times because the camera lens kept fogging in that scene. See more »

A Piece of Art - Film Festival Gent
9 October 2019 | by vyrondiamindSee all my reviews

Nothing is what it seems at the uncanny lighthouse where Robert and Willem deliver a performace from beyond. The chemistry between both of them grabs you on every emotion, from laughter to discomfort, and never seems to let your attention go. Since I'm no horror fanatic myself it's worth to mention Lighthouse is more categorised in the psychological sector where the atmosphere does a excelent job to make you feel uncomfortable and suspenseful. Absolutely amazing movie, or should I say a piece of art, on every level.
