The presentation of this movie is why I love it. The opening shot building up something unknown, and instead of a jump scrare of some monster, we just cut to the boat about to dock on the island. thus introducing the main characters to us and seetting up the tone of the film. All through the cinematography and the soundtrack.

I love how it seems like the forshadowing of the old crew leaving still working together carring that box, as if to alude to mentality or aproach a couple of guys need have in order to make it through the whole thing, but the mentality of the newly arrived crew is should by each guy carring their own things

Old crew probably had a "what's yours is mine what's mine is yours" type attitude to it, that they wouldn't be there too long, they're just doing a simple job, really looked out for eachother. And both were probably nothing at all like Dafoe's character lol.

My dudes. Anyone going into this expecting story is going to be disappointed in the same way y'all were. It's not a classic three act hero's journey type of film and that's exactly why it's special - but if you go in expecting that, it'll squash those expectations pretty fast. It's a period nightmare film, and it's about as good a one as anyone could do. It's not a masterpiece in terms of story, but that's not what it's for. It is pretty fantastic in terms of atmosphere and feeling, though - same way a nightmare is. The look of it, Pattinson's acting in it, the insanity of it, the way that insanity makes you feel insane too toward the end. It's about as close as you can get to feeling like those guys who vanished from the lighthouse in real life back in the day. "Storm ended, sea calm, God is over all" is this film personified. www.mentalfloss.com/article/70180/115-year-old-mystery-flannan-lighthouses-missing-keepers

That's my only real complaint when it comes to the feel of the movie.
