“I was drawn to see this movie after reading a brief plot synopsis which had a clear Lovecraftian horror theme (et in the 20u0026#39;s an isolated lighthouse attacked by creatures from the sea). And though this wasnu0026#39;t exactly the movie I wanted it to be, I was satisfied with it. Firstly, this movie is extremely well-made and acted. The location is simply wonderful. I wouldu0026#39;ve preferred the sea creatures to be more grotesque but that wasnu0026#39;t what they were aiming for. This film doesnu0026#39;t explain everything which leaves you thinking about it which works well in this case. I enjoyed too which leads the viewer to wonder just how long the lighthouse keeper had been there and who the original lighthouse keeper was. Not surprisingly, this movie is based on a rather popular foreign novel which received a bit of praise and attention which it apparently is quite faithful to.”
