Trivia

Faked Flannan Isles

Due to its isolation, shooting at the actual Flannan Isles lighthouse was not an option. Hence the filmmakers, after extensive scouting, settled on Galloway in southwest Scotland, with specific attention paid to the lighthouse on the tip of the Mull of Galloway.

Locations

Four different lighthouses were used to create what is seen in the movie as a singular location: Mull of Galloway lighthouse was used for Exterior and interior cottages, lighthouse, lighthouse garden and the headland of the island. Killantrigan lighthouse was used as an interior staircase and side garden Corsewall lighthouse was used for a single interior shot and to create the cliff many of the cliff scenes. Cloch lighthouse, was used for the interior Lightroom as it no longer operational and beautifully preserved.

Great inspirations

The film feels akin to the 1948 John Huston classic 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre', he says, as well as some of the early Polanski dramas, and films from the 1970s ?that often had a very simple set up and a simple engagement with people in a limited space.?
