I have watched a fair ammount of psychological thrillers in my life.
I’ve watched an excessive amount of horror in general; however, I’ve never encountered a film that made me as uncomfortable as “The Lighthouse”
I don’t know if it’s the audio of consistent hopeless “siren” sounds bringing me back to tornado sirens in rural Oklahoma or something else.
I wonder if it’s the realism, the rambling of Willam Dafoe’s character is terrifying.
Why does this film disturb me so deeply?
I have watched so many ‘scary’ ‘psychologically thrilling’ acclaimed films throughout the years, so many ‘Lovecraft-ian horror’ inspired films through the years- but nothing has made me this uncomfortable. I’m generally fairly detached from fearful movies- this one puts a pit in my stomach.
This is the only movie I cannot reach the end of.
what is it about this film?
Why is this movie so disturbing?
Has anyone else had a reaction like this?
Why is this so f*cking scary?
