A horror film unlike anything you’ve seen! Set in a moody coastal lighthouse, Robert Egger’s expressionist masterpiece is heavy on atmosphere, dread and things that lurk in shadow. Premiering at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 2019, The Lighthouse was immediately hailed as a suspense horror classic and it catapulted Robert Pattinson into the front of new arthouse cinema. Bruce Isaacs
This is a chance to see one of Egger’s earlier works on the BIG screen before his NOSFERATU, a retelling of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, enters Australian cinemas in 2025.
As you may know, Jervis Bay has a historic lighthouse, now a ruin, that’s been the place of several true and dreadful nineteenth-century stories: Cape St George, Booderee National Park.
