Time to start off the spooky season here at Screen or Stream. We recorded this a while ago and have been waiting for the right time to share it with you all. This episode we're taking a deep dive into Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse. Good on you those who worked that out from the mention in our previous episode. We both checked out Eggers' short film Brothers. Once we're done talking about that, we get straight into the power dynamics, phallic imagery and mythic qualities of The Lighthouse. Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in this claustrophobic horror that is filled with painstakingly accurate period detail, masterful cinematography and more toilet humour than you'd expect. Luke also briefly discusses Neasa Hardiman's paranoia-and-parasite-packed Irish horror Sea Fever. Titles this episode: Brothers (2015)
