    Hadn't heard anything about this before now. Looks pretty good, and that is quite the actor list.

      Indeed, the cast is stellar, and Robert Eggers is also a fantastic director too. If you enjoy slow-burn, atmospheric, tense, disturbing, psychological horror, and haven't seen The VVitch yet, I highly recommend checking it out. And ditto for The Lighthouse, which is easily my favorite film I watched in 2020.

      IMO, A24 alumni, Eggers and Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar - also both recommended) are probably the best arthouse horror directors working at the moment, and I can't wait to see what Eggers can do with a bigger budget film like this.

    I’ve been stoked about this since I first heard about it (big Robert Eggers fan), and this revitalized that hype. Just look at that cast!

      (My only complaint is being disappointed at how low res this official trailer is though. I tried looking for a better quality one, but AFAICT there isn't any available.)

      And speaking of the impressive cast, I really hope we get to see Bjork and Willem Dafoe interact at some point. Those two, as actors, are a match made in heaven. I wonder whose character will be the craziest in this? :P
