There aren’t many filmmakers working in horror today who have created a style as distinctive and dark as Robert Eggers. From the unsettling folk horror of The Witch to the brutal Viking epic The Northman, and his re-imagining of Nosferatu, Eggers has earned a reputation for his horror vision in unforgettable ways. Now, he’s set to return once again with Werwulf, premiering in theaters this December 2026.
“Set in medieval Britain, Werwulf follows villagers whose local folklore becomes terrifying reality as a mysterious creature stalks the fog-covered countryside. With its chilling premise, historical setting, and Eggers’ unmistakable filmmaking style, the first trailer promises another eerie and visually stunning journey into the supernatural. If his previous films are any indication, horror fans are in for another unforgettable experience when Werwulf howls into theaters this holiday season.”
