The film was kinda based on a true story (which was called ‘The Smalls’ Lighthouse Incident’ which took place in 1801).

The Eggers brothers used a lot of dialogue from the forgotten writer, Sara Orne Jewett.

The Review: The incredible plot, performances and a unique cinematography tells you that this is not a horror film you have ever seen before, bravo to the talented Robert Eggers!
