‘The Witch’ Director’s ‘The Lighthouse’ Comes Ashore to Digital HD and Blu-ray
Directed by The Witch‘s Robert Eggers, A24’s The Lighthouse follows two lighthouse keepers (played by Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson) who are stranded on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. As an approaching storm threatens to sweep them from the rock and strange apparitions emerge from the fog, each man begins to suspect that the other has become dangerously unmoored.
After soaking up $10M at the specialty box office, The Lighthouse comes ashore on Digital just in time for the holidays on December 20 before arriving On Demand and on DVD/Blu-ray (plus Digital) January 7, 2020, from Lionsgate.
Extra features include not only deleted scenes, but also “The Lighthouse: A Dark & Stormy Tale” featurette and audio commentary from filmmaker Robert Eggers!
The Lighthouse is truly “a nightmare at sea,” one that shows shades of Sam Raimi’s filmmaking prowess and carries the madness of Evil Dead II.

Get ready for double the fun, protagonists, and body count when Ready or Not 2: Here I Come explodes on streaming next week.
Just in time for the fireworks, the sequel makes its streaming debut on Hulu and Disney+ on July 2.
Directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett are back, along with Samara Weaving, for more hide and slay mayhem.
Picking up moments after the all-out attack from the Le Domas family in the first Ready or Not movie, Grace (Weaving) discovers she’s reached the next level of the nightmarish game — and this time with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) at her side. Grace has one chance to survive, keep her sister alive, and claim the High Seat of the Council that controls the world. Four rival families are hunting her for the throne, and whoever wins rules it all.
That means a higher body count and even more explosive carnage. Just how much? A whopping 325 gallons worth, the directors previously told BD.
Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Néstor Carbonell, David Cronenberg, Elijah Wood, Kevin Durand, Olivia Cheng, Varun Saranga, and Daniel Beirne also star.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “More is more in Ready or Not 2. Bigger stakes, larger playing field, a higher (and more gruesome) body count, and even double the protagonists. It’s all designed to deliver maximum crowd-pleasing fun.”
The horror-comedy sequel is written by Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy.
