The Eye of Goliath

<p>In this deliriously inventive twist on <i>The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde</i>, Argentine Diego Muzzio infuses classic gothic atmosphere with disturbingly modern psychological horror.</p><p>In an old sanatorium on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Dr Edward Pierce develops experimental therapies to treat patients traumatised by the First World War. Late one night, he receives a visitor who asks him to take on a bizarre case: David Bradley, an engineer who was sent to inspect the conditions of a lighthouse on a desolate island in southern Argentina.
