The article is devoted to the problem of representing horror in one of the most significant post-horror movies – “The Lighthouse” by R. Eggers. The categories of phenomenology of horror by philosophers D. Trigg and E. Thacker are used in the analysis of the film’s poetics and symbolism. This method helps to highlight the themes of disgusting physicality, terrible doubleness and unthinkable horror in terrifying screen images and frightening means of expression. The resume explains the aestheticization of the horror in “The Lighthouse” as produced through the representation of “the subject becoming inhuman” and “the lacuna pointing beyond appearances.” Post-horror, viewed through the prism of contemporary speculative philosophy, appears as an attempt to transfer the “numinous” experience of horror using new screen means.
