Sea, Madness and a Lighthouse
Is old timey horror & dread better? Maybe this is the best way to scare ourselves for entertainment while the world burns. Or are we looking back at stories in supposedly simpler times to understand the terrifying NOW better?
I really dug Robert Eggers’ The Witch and still need to see The Northman. What I have viewed is most of Willem Defoe’s films and everything Robert Pattinson made when he wasn’t playing a vampire. If I only saw the what/what scene from this film, it would be enough to convince me to see this. So smoke a bowl out of a corncob pipe, put on your peacoat and pledge to speak in pirate vernacular or your best Popeye the Sailor voice. You’ll be all set, maties!
