Many fans still see Robert Pattinson as sparkly vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight films or Harry Potter wizard Cedric Diggory.
But the 33-year-old actor has a new horror film that will take viewers to a whole new level of darkness.
His new movie, The Lighthouse, is being hailed as one of the most gripping horror films! Directed by Robert Eggers, the black-and-white movie stars Pattinson and Willem Dafoe as two lighthouse keepers on a remote island.
“From Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind modern horror masterpiece The Witch, comes this hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s,” A24’s synopsis reads.
Drawing on Melville, fishermen’s lore, surrealism and so much more, The Lighthouse is a 19th-century tale centering on the two lighthouse keepers as they slowly drive one another insane.
The movie strands n the pair on a remote island with a lighthouse, surrounded by the unforgiving sea and some devious seagulls.
Working on the film left Pattinson and Dafeo in two very different states of mind. They recently told TheWrap that Pattinson found himself as pent-up as his character while Dafoe easily slipped in and out of his role.
“I was charged up at the end of every day, to be honest,” Pattinson told TheWrap. “By the end of the day you’re keeping yourself…so wound up the whole time that by the end I wanted to go out clubbing. But there’s nowhere to go!”
The movie stars slowly, with occasional smash of waves into wooden decks and rocks and blasts of the lighthouse horn.
Soon the dynamic between the two has disintegrated into something more menacing. By turns sinister, funny, mythical, historically fascinating and haunting, The Lighthouse is one of the best movies of the year.
