It was a really strange movie, but at the end i asked my friend what the movie was about. He said that the movie is what you interpret it as. So here's my interpretation of the movie.
Defoes character is Davey Jones, who brings sinners to the island where he tortures them and gets them to admit their sin. Pattisons character is a murderer who took the name of the man he murdered and eventually found his way out towards the lighthouse. The movie starts innocently enough, but over the course of it, slowly causes Pattinson to descend into madness. The things he sees are all real, the mermaid/siren, the tentacles, Davey Jones himself, all real. The reason why Defoes character guarded the lighthouse so jealously was because that was his locker, where he kept all the souls of the damned. Eventually, Pattinson descends into madness so severely that he ends up giving his soul to Davey willingly at the end by simply stepping into the lighthouse when he finally opens up. The end scene is what he is doomed to repeat in the locker for all eternity; to be eaten alive by that which he hates, seagulls.
I had fun with this, never posted here before, usually just lurk, but wanted to share with you guys! Sorry if this has already been said before.
