Spoiler alert:

At the end of the movie The Lighthouse, seagulls are eating the abdomen of a barely alive, but still alive, man. Is there a basis in truth for this, or complete fiction?

It’s a reference to Zeus’s punishment of Prometheus, who was chained to a rock and had an eagle eat his liver every day (which healed overnight).

Thanks! Zeus was, ah, creative.

I wouldn't put it past them, seagulls are gigantic assholes
