21st Century Cult Continues With The Lighthouse All Weekend!

Have this article read to you, listen to it like a podcast

Hark! Beware ye who enter The Lighthouse! The second film by Robert Eggers is back as part of April’s 21st Century Cult lineup!

While living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s, two lighthouse keepers (Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe) try to maintain their sanity as tensions rise during an endless storm.

Shot with lenses from the early 20th century, the black and white 35mm cinematography of The Lighthouse creates a hypnotic and hallucinatory atmosphere that lets the viewer experience the eerie effects of the island right along with the characters.

The Lighthouse screens starting Friday, April 21st.
Friday, Apr 21 – 10:30pm
Saturday, Apr 22 – 10pm
Sunday, Apr 23 – 8pm
