The first official trailer for Robert Eggers' highly anticipated next project, Werwulf, has finally clawed its way online, offering a staggering first glimpse into the director's latest descent into historical madness and folklore. Billed as Eggers’ most visceral and haunting experience yet, Focus Features presents Werwulf as a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within. True to the visionary filmmaker’s signature style, the gritty footage promises a deeply atmospheric, period-accurate plunge into feral supernatural horror, trading mainstream creature-feature tropes for a far more primal, psychological nightmare.
The film boasts a powerhouse ensemble cast, anchoring its dark mythos with performances from newcomer Bodhi Rae Breathnach, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp return after Nosferatu, alongside frequent Eggers collaborators and genre veterans Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson. Distributed as a major holiday event, Werwulf is set to bring its chilling, blood-soaked terror to cinemas across the US and the UK on Christmas Day 2026.
