Trivia
All the bones
When Lena arrives at the lighthouse, there is a skeleton against the wall, a video camera which she switched on to see her husband light up a white phosphorus grenade. The white phosphorus would have melted all the bones.
Star Wars
Oscar Isaac filmed this movie and Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) on adjacent studio lots. He had the same trailer for both films and would often film scenes for both movies on the same day.
