Great news for movie lovers – The Lighthouse is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video! So, if you have access to Prime Video and are in the mood to watch Robert Pattinson in a rather intimate scene with a mattress, then this is the film for you. Directed by Robert Eggers, who also gave us the recent hit Nosferatu, this 2019 film has received an impressive 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has just been released on the streaming platform.
Starring Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson, The Lighthouse is set in the 1890s and follows the story of two lighthouse keepers, Thomas Wake and Ephraim Winslow, who are stationed on a remote and desolate island far away from civilization. As their isolation deepens, tensions rise and they are haunted by strange visions, paranoia, and power struggles. Shot in black-and-white with a claustrophobic aspect ratio, this film takes viewers on a chilling and atmospheric descent into madness.
The Lighthouse has left fans feeling unsettled and many have taken to social media to share their thoughts. For instance, @in_deserto tweeted, "One of the few films where even the ASPECT RATIO scared the hell out of me..." while @ephemeralisall agreed, "Great movie. Stayed with me for days. Really unnerving." @BriAnimator_ also expressed their love for the film, writing, "One thing about me, I love The Lighthouse. A top tier descent-into-madness movie and great single location horror story. Masterpiece."
And it's not just the fans who are impressed – Rotten Tomatoes also agrees with their estimations, stating that "A gripping story brilliantly filmed and led by a pair of powerhouse performances, The Lighthouse further establishes Robert Eggers as a filmmaker of exceptional talent."
Interestingly, this is one of Robert Pattinson's strangest roles, and Eggers has shed some light on his process for creating such a unique film. In an interview with Vox, he said, "The idea of a fable or a myth is definitely at the forefront of our process. I start with atmosphere. My brother had an idea – a ghost running the lighthouse – that created a look and a feeling of a world in my head."
As for Pattinson, he explained that he took up the role because he wanted to do something "weird." Speaking to Screen Daily, he said, "Someone who wants to not really talk about their past has either done something wrong or something wrong has happened to them – they just want to get away from it. I knew he had to be very emotionally unstable, but comes from this hardworking, puritan background. He's a very masculine person who's going through extreme turmoil, yet he's looking for validation from an older father figure."
So, if you're in the mood for a unique and gripping film, be sure to check out The Lighthouse on Amazon Prime Video. And if you've got a celebrity story, video or pictures, don't forget to get in touch with the entertainment team at The Agency – they'd love to hear from you!
