I’m glad you enjoyed it. In many ways it was well made. Great look and feel for a period piece. It did a good job conveying the paranoia and isolation. It did not hold up well for me in terms of the mythical elements and as I’ve explained somebody floated the term “Lovecraftian” about the movie. I imagine it wa someone not familiar with Lovecraft’s work who was just referring to the isolation and paranoia which isn’t a good use of the term. That coupled with the facile ending turned me off. Eggers has redeemed himself with Nosferatu. If the Lighthouse was a necessary stepping stone to give us Nosferatu then so be it. At least Eggers has progressed instead of being a disgrace.
