The Lighthouse (I) (2016)
9/10
What is scariest about this movie? It's true!
9 June 2018
BAFTA-award winning supernatural thriller THE LIGHTHOUSE, starring Michael Jibson (Hunter Killer, Beauty and the Beast) and Mark Lewis Jones (Star Wars : The Last Jedi, "Game of Thrones"), hits theaters and VOD this July.

2 lighthouse keepers are stuck on an island during a raging storm for months. Food and rations are low and there sanity is getting the best of them.

This is Open Water in a lighthouse. Claustrophobia and atmospheric brings this suspenseful movie to the screen.

The movie starts off normal enough and just escalates into pure madness. Dark stormy nights test the sanity of the two man n characters in there quest for sanity and to continue guiding ship in the historic 1801 storm.

What makes this scarier is it's based on true events. The actors who play the two Toms do a tremendous and convincingly accurate portrayal of two frightened men as they descended into madness.

When the storm clears what will be left of these men mentally.

A true human survival story, excellently executed and beautifully filmed as the angry Irish Sea plays the main role.

What makes this scarier...it's based on a true story!

A true horror story!

Directed by Chris Crow, and nominated for five BAFTA awards including Best Director and Best Actor, winning Best Visual Effects, THE LIGHTHOUSE opens in select theaters July 6and VOD July 10.
