The Lighthouse (2019)

USA | 109 minutes | R | DCP | Dir. Robert Eggers As the wavering cry of the foghorn fills the air, the taciturn former lumberjack, Ephraim Winslow, and the grizzled lighthouse keeper, Thomas Wake, set foot in a secluded and perpetually grey islet off the coast of late 19th century New England.

"'The Lighthouse' can be enjoyed on dual levels - as a thickly atmospheric exercise in psychological terror, or as a compendium of seafaring legends, jokes, and clichés," - Nathaniel Bell, L.A. Weekly "'The Lighthouse' is such an effective exercise in projecting claustrophobia, in both a physical and psychological sense, that it'd be unbearable to watch if it weren't so funny," - Alison Wilmore, New York Magazine Assistive Screening Accommodations for Patrons with Disability :  Closed Captions and Visually Impaired Narration not available
