With his 2015 debut “The Witch” (stylized as “The VVitch”) and its 2019 follow-up “The Lighthouse,” director Robert Eggers firmly established himself as one of the premier modern artistic visionaries. With a combined budget of $15 million, the two films grossed close to $60 million which, in the art-house world, is considered blockbuster territory.
