Key Points:
- Robert Eggers' new film Werwulf, a 13th-century tale featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Willem Dafoe, is set to release on Christmas Day, December 25, continuing Eggers' tradition of dark, period horror storytelling.
- The movie promises a grim and unsettling atmosphere with themes of devotion, damnation, and curses, positioning itself as a potentially experimental and unique entry in mainstream Hollywood horror.
- Werwulf aims to attract horror fans and those interested in unconventional cinema, following the viral success of Eggers' previous film, Nosferatu.
- The trailer highlights eerie visuals and a haunting tone, with Lily-Rose Depp co-starring as the worried wife of Taylor-Johnson's character.
- Werwulf will compete with major blockbusters released earlier in December but offers a distinct counterprogramming option for moviegoers seeking a more visceral, haunting experience.
