For a time, King of the Monsters is in lockstep with many of its predecessors for wearing its allegorical heart on its sleeve, understanding these monsters to bring a reckoning for so much devastation caused by humans. Monarch, the clandestine organization devoted to studying and preserving the “titans” discovered in increasing numbers around the world, sees a creature like Godzilla as a natural component of the Earth’s immune system, capable of restoring balance to the planet’s ecosystems. It’s an idea that Monarch scientist Emma Russell (Vera Farmiga) takes to extreme lengths when, armed with a titan-summoning sonar device, she sets about waking the dormant monsters in order to bring about a great cleansing. The film, then, is part of a growing trend of blockbusters to embrace absolution for the human race, and the primitive, bestial carnage of the titans makes them well suited to embody the unpremeditated, unfeeling nature with which the planet might rid itself of us.

The film goes through its motions too quickly for its imagery to convey the irrepressible force of provocation.

Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga? Is it St. Swithin’s Day already? No, it ain’t, dear. ‘Tis Downton Abbey Day—that is, the release of the official trailer for the Downton Abbey movie. It’s been some three years since we’ve gotten to sip tea with the Crawley clan and hang out downstairs with the servants making sure that the biscuits are placed just right on the proper fine bone china tea set. And from the looks of the two-and-a-half-minute trailer, it would appear that nothing has changed at Downton Abbey since the series’s finale.

Eggers’s willingness to get goofy, and to not worry about humor defusing his narrative’s macabre horror—as in, say, the cartoonish pummeling that a devious seagull receives—makes The Lighthouse something of a breakthrough for the filmmaker. Diverging from the formula of coiled tension followed by sudden and jolting release that’s favored by so many contemporary arthouse horror films, Eggers parcels out the action in the film, steadily and methodically building toward the psychological breaking point of his characters.
