The Lighthouse of Horror

.
When TIFF announced its line-up earlier today I mentioned they're screening Robert Eggers' follow-up to The Witch called The Lighthouse, a film we've been following from the split second it was announced -- well somehow in all my following I missed this the first teaser poster for the movie last week, so there's that. (via, click to embiggen a bunch) The Lighthouse stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as two keepers on an isolated Nova Scotian island in the 1890s who're confronted with, well, I don't know and I don't want to know until I manage to see the movie but it all sounds kind of Lovecraftian. People I trust to get such things went nuts for the movie at Cannes in the spring, so my immediate enthusiasm seems on the right track. I dearly hope this plays NYFF -- it still doesn't have a proper release date.
