The Lighthouse
The Lighthouse is already winning — and it gets better as the stakes rise. At 53% across 209 head-to-head matchups, the overall record is strong. The finals record is even stronger. Eggers shot two men losing their minds in a 1.19:1 box and made the claustrophobia the point. Dafoe and Pattinson's commitment — the accents, the flatulence, the monologues about Prometheus — gives it a cult energy that converts hard on a ballot.
Synopsis
Two lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.
Each round is better than the last: 41% opening, 65% semi, 79% final. The competition gets tougher and The Lighthouse gets better — a pattern that doesn't show up often.
Against Nope, The Lighthouse wins 88%. Not much of a contest. Midsommar at 78% is another comfortable win.
The Lighthouse owns Modern Masters of Horror. The Witch is the usual final opponent, and at 73% it's not much of a contest.
The Lighthouse is one of Robert Eggers's strongest bracket performers — #2 of 3, trailing only The Witch (56%).
#5 of 8 in Modern Masters of Horror.
