Keeper of the Light

About This Movie

Keeper of the Light is one of those films that sits in a weird space between drama and horror. It has this slow-burn quality that I appreciate, where Philip’s seemingly mundane job takes a dark turn. The atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, especially when you realize the light keeper’s secret. The pacing is deliberate, and it builds tension in a way that feels organic rather than forced. The practical effects, while not flashy, are effective in creating a sense of dread. Performances are strong, especially from the guy playing the light keeper—there's something unsettling about him that really sticks with you. It's a film that explores isolation and the weight of secrets, leaving a lingering sense of unease.
