The Lighthouse

Inspired by the True Story of the Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy.

In 1892, Elijah Whitman arrives on an isolated New England island for a four-week assignment as a lighthouse keeper’s assistant. Beneath the looming, weather-beaten tower, surrounded by the endless sea, he finds himself under the command of Thomas Graham—a hardened, enigmatic veteran of the trade. The work is grueling, the isolation suffocating, but the real torment lurks beneath the surface.

As the days stretch into weeks, the storm-ravaged island begins to reveal its sinister nature. Strange visions plague Whitman’s mind—spectral figures in the waves, a haunting mermaid scrimshaw, and the ominous presence of a one-eyed gull that refuses to leave him be. Graham himself guards a secret locked away in the forbidden lantern room, a light that beckons and torments in equal measure.

Inspired by the real-life Smalls Lighthouse Tragedy, The Lighthouse is a chilling tale of psychological horror, isolation, and the terrifying power of the unknown. As madness takes hold and reality blurs, the question remains—was the island always cursed, or have the keepers brought their own doom upon themselves?

For fans of atmospheric horror and maritime legends, The Lighthouse delivers an unforgettable journey into darkness—where the sea is merciless, the mind is fragile, and the light may not bring salvation, but something far worse.
