Quick Hit

The Lighthouse moves like a head-trip horror piece—isolated, descending madness, and knows exactly when to twist the knife.

Full Take

The Lighthouse leans hard into psychological horror energy, and Robert Eggers keeps the tone isolated without letting the movie drift. It knows its lane and drives straight into the dark with style, control, and just enough mean streak. It absolutely earns the spot in a serious horror library.

There’s a lot to like here, but also a lot that holds it back from being great.

I actually agree with this take. It’s not perfect but it definitely delivers in key moments.
