The high production values, excellent acting, and strong writing make this a cut above what is often accorded this sort of release pattern. For those intrigued by the material, it’s worth seeking out. Read full review

Based on real-life events, The Lighthouse depicts its dramatic situations in credible and compelling fashion. But its single, cramped setting and leisurely pacing could definitely tax the patience of horror fans looking for a more visceral, scare-laden experience. Read full review

The Lighthouse builds to a tragic incident and its disturbing aftermath, depicted with the dread and sick irony of an old “Tales From the Crypt” comic. But for the most part, the fears here are social, not supernatural. Read full review

Economically deployed effects lend the gathering storm a genuine sense of anxious bluster, but tension and terror are harder to conjure in a narrative this sparse and emotionally one-note. Read full review

The Lighthouse doesn’t shed anything new on the pressure cooker, psychological drama, but it is a pleasure to see Crow’s talents continuing to evolve from Demon Bridge to now. Read full review

This is one of the 5 worst movies I have ever seen. Remember the story about the Emperor and his new clothes, everyone pretended they saw the clothes, just so they would not be the only person to say, um, Emperor, you are naked!

Remember the story about the Emperor and his new clothes, everyone pretended they saw the clothes, just so they would not be the only person to say, um, Emperor, you are naked! That is how I feel about this movie, I do not mind being the only one to say this movie was horrible, horrid, awful and a huge waste of time and money. My wife actually fell asleep in the movie, and thought it was just as dreadful as I did. I rate a movie like this: I must see it the day it comes out, or, I will see it the weekend it first comes out, or, I will see it at a theater, or, I will wait for it to come out on HBO, or, I will wait for it to come out on free TV, or, I will charge someone $1000 to make me see it....this is the last option. DO NOT SEE!… Expand
