I'll be the first one to admit that I have never been stranded or isolated. But if I ever were isolated like that, I promise you that I would not start talking to a volleyball. Or to a dead body. Or to a... You get the idea.
This Lighthouse movie offers nothing original in the old "descent in to madness" genre.
But there are some worse, major puzzling moments too, which makes this among the worst Survivalist movies ever!!
Like when they first arrive, they take inventory, and they have something like 50 lbs of rice, 50 lbs of beef, and 75 lbs of chicken. Something like that. Then later, the screen shows they are on "Day 31" of their job, and the two men are talking about their rations are low and they need to be relieved asap. So in the course of only one month, these men ate 175 pounds of food?? That's about 3 pounds of food each day for each man. Their drinking water was "dangerously low," and yet it was raining for a week straight. Just go outside and collect the rainwater. They find a crate with a dozen bottles of booze. Over the next week (about 40 minutes of movie time) they show the men drinking in every single scene. The booze seems to last forever, and yet the food/water disappeared without a trace. Silly writing.
