      Lindsey Artsy, anxiety inducing, and ridiculously fun commentary. The acting was phenomenal and the bond between Pattinson and Defoe was perfectly executed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/19 Full Review Audience Member Interesting low-budget British thriller/slasher mashup. The production values are 1970s/1980s Dr. Who level low-budget - but it works. The film is not entirely successful but can be interesting if you are in the right mood. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member a fanciful horror story based on the actual events of a lighthouse where everyone astonishingly disappeared without trace - a mystery still unsolved to this day ... this is a good stalk and hack slasher film that needs to lifted above a one star rating ... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This horror film is not well known and it seems not particularly well liked. This is strange because there are all the elements here of an excellent motion picture. The setting is creepy and a perfect place for the body count to roll up. There is a great sense of place, whilst the cast, particularly Rachel Shelley give it there all. The ending is particularly strong and I would recommend this film to all that like intelligent, creepy films. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't say this is a great movie, though I LOVED the gloominess Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Bonne mise en scene malgre certaines sequences ratees. Inventif et inattendu. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
