New Official Trailer for Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘Lighthouse Keeper’

We’ve been following Benjamin Cooper’s Lighthouse Keeper for quite some time now as it is based upon Edgar Allan Poe’s final, unfinished short story known as “The Light-House.” So, we’re pretty intrigued to see how this one plays out, as I’m sure many of you are, too. Head on down below and check out the new official trailer and let us know if this is something you’ll be keeping an eye on?

From the Press Release:

ITN Distribution has acquired Edgar Allan Poe’s LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER for North America. They anticipate a 1st quarter release next year on DVD and digital.

ITN also continues to shop the award winning feature overseas.

In the movie, a young man awakens alone on a remote beach, marooned there by a violent storm. Above the the rocky crags, a lighthouse stands like a sentinel. The man seeks the help of Walsh, the enigmatic lighthouse keeper. Walsh insists they are the sole inhabitants of the peninsula. But the man is haunted by fleeting glimpses of a beautiful young woman, and plagued by visions of hideous phantoms reaching out from the depths. As this horror tale races towards a mind bending finale, the man must confront the grotesque denizens of the night, or heed the lighthouse keeper’s cryptic warning to “Always keep a light burning!”

LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER is based on Edgar Allan Poe’s last story, “The Light-House,” Scripted by Carl Edge, Directed by Benjamin Cooper (PRIMITIVE), and Executive Produced by Jeff Miller (CLOWNTOWN).
