Forgotten even to the sea

I think Robert Eggers' previous The VVitch (2015) was overrated - I'd have to watch it again to be sure, but if my memory serves me right, it was boring. As we observe couple of lighthouse keepers in a desolate island, The Lighthouse has that, it can be slow-moving and tiresome, it feels pointless at times, but then again it's splendidly wrapped around delirium tremens, insanity, figments of imagination and bona fide chaos. Still leaves a little disappointed aftertaste.

Some people are blurred

Based on a Stephen King book and at least loosely based on the active years of serial killer BTK, aka Dennis Rader . Quite good otherwise ...
