The follow-up to "The Witch," the black and white, twisted sea shanty tale by director Robert Eggers, "The Lighthouse" debuted previously this year to rave reviews at the Cannes Film Festival. After screening for the first time at the present Toronto International Film Festival to North American audiences, hot on the heels of this second wave of recognition, A24 published another trailer for the film.

Here’s the synopsis:

From Robert Eggers, the visionary filmmaker behind the modern horror masterpiece The Witch, comes this hypnotic and hallucinatory tale of two lighthouse keepers on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s.

Set on a remote New England island at the turn of the 19th century, “The Lighthouse” is shot on 35mm black-and-white film by cinematographer Jarin Blaschke. The movie is a psychological thriller which follows the slow descent into madness of two lighthouse keepers (Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson). The movie is reportedly twisted, hilarious and dark, a wild bromance between two men on the edge of sanity.

The trailer expertly teases the two characters’ deteriorating minds by having the bulk of the footage featuring the two guys sitting across from each other and yelling “What!?” back and forth. It’s simple, yet incredibly effective and really does show that “The Lighthouse” is most definitely not your typical 2019 thriller, by any stretch of the imagination.

“The Lighthouse” is expected to arrive in theaters on October 18.
