The bit where it looks like the new guy is gazing slack jaw wonder at the inside of the lamp until the sound cuts in and you realize they are actually screaming.

I saw this a couple nights ago. Willem Dafoe makes an excellent grizzled old sailor. Never knew what a match he was for a role like that until seeing it for myself. I’ll admit that a lot of the time I had no idea what tf was going on but I’ll attribute that to low volume w/ no subtitles (this was one of those movies that goes from whispered dialogue straight to crashing waves so the volume button gets a real workout) Also there’s definitely an intended level of confusion in movies like this where madness is creeping in, which causes me to not read into it as deeply as I would try to otherwise. But the DP was gorgeous, loved the black and white and minimalism throughout. Successfully stuck with me a couple days after which is usually sort of my mark for a good movie.

The Lighthouse was good, but I preferred Cold Skin since it is basically the same plot except it features Ray Stevenson loving a mermaid.

I did okay for the most part without subs on The Lighthouse, but I absolutely had to use them for The Witch. It has as much to do with the way the dialogue is mixed as the difficult language itself.

The monologue where a briny trident is going to stab you in the balls for not liking Dafoe's cooking is loving brilliant.

you don't need subtitles to understand the movie, everything important is communicated by Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson staring at each other angrily and/or lustily

At the risk of being 'that guy', I found it dragged and was bored. Don't get me wrong, I don't want explosions and capes - but the constant arty madness stuff just got old fast and by the time we got to mermaid William Dafoe and all the poo poo that sounds amazing I was just mentally checked out and not paying attention anymore. Which is a shame because there is some amazing cinematography in that film. My wife loves the original story and the previous adaptions, loves her old artsy black and white films yet even she was looking at her watch and shifting around in her seat

After early reviews by test audiences came in negatively, studios retooled The Lighthouse to be more epic by creating an entirely new third act. In this version, the evil mermaid tries to conquer the world by opening a portal with a blue sky laser, and our intrepid heroes must defeat her by having gay sex.

The Lighthouse has about 20 really excellent individual shots & short scenes which are interesting and weird, and the two characters are strange dudes who you want to learn more about. Pity that the director wasn't able to deliver on the premise. Would have benefited from being about 20 minutes shorter. 2/5, would not recommend.
