Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse looks amazing

I loved Robert Eggers' The Witch. It was a moody, masterfully shot masterpiece of slow-simmering tension, mistrust and the gentle hand that moves desperate people to make terrible decisions. I bought it and ripped it to watch on all the screens I own, as soon as it was released to video. Today I learned that Eggers' second film, The Lighthouse, first broke cover at the Cannes International Film Festival, a few months back.

The trailer for the movie dropped earlier today and holy crap, am I ever invested.

I've watched it a few time today and I'm sucked in further with every viewing.
