Whilst Robert Eggers made one superb film and one borefest about wanking, farting lighthouse keepers.
Midsommar is more like Tarkovski's The Sacrifice than The Wicker Man, but it's still an original work.

I get the similarities between The Skeleton Key and Get Out, though I think the latter is the better, more unsettling, and thought-provoking of the two.

As for The Lighthouse, I thought it was brilliant and will probably watch it again next week.
