Movies like The Lighthouse

Midsommar, directed by Ari Aster, presents a daylight horror experience that delves into psychological distress and folk horror elements, much like The Lighthouse. The movie takes viewers through a surreal and unnerving journey that challenges their perception of communal rituals and sanity.

Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is another psychological horror film that deals with themes of isolation and descent into madness, akin to The Lighthouse. Its iconic setting and slow descent into horror will resonate with those who appreciate the claustrophobic tension of Robert Eggers’ film.

Directed by Robert Eggers, the same director as The Lighthouse, The Witch is a dark and atmospheric horror movie that explores themes of isolation, paranoia, and religious fanaticism. Its period-accurate dialogue and slow-building tension make it appealing to fans of The Lighthouse.

Black Swan, directed by Darren Aronofsky, showcases the psychological unraveling of its protagonist in a high-pressure artistic environment. Its intense character study and blurring of reality and hallucination share a thematic kinship with The Lighthouse.

David Lynch’s Eraserhead is a cult classic that bears similarities to The Lighthouse in its black-and-white presentation, unsettling atmosphere, and exploration of surreal, nightmarish scenarios, making it a staple for fans of psychological horror.

Lars von Trier's Antichrist is a deeply disturbing tale of grief and psychological horror. Like The Lighthouse, it uses its chilling narrative and explicit imagery to explore the darker aspects of the human psyche and nature.
