Renowned American filmmaker Robert Eggers, celebrated for his mastery of atmospheric folk horror and historical immersion, is back with a terrifying new project: Werewolf.

Set against the grim backdrop of 13th-century medieval England, the film promises to deliver a chilling cinematic experience.

Following the recent release of the movie's official trailer, cinephiles are already buzzing with excitement over the spine-tingling footage and the dark transformations of lead actors Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp.

A Tale of Curse and Survival
The trailer offers a tantalizing glimpse into the film’s grim plot:

The Afflicted Husband: Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as a man suffering from a horrifying curse that transforms him into a bloodthirsty beast.

The Devoted Wife: Lily-Rose Depp portrays his desperate wife, captured in harrowing scenes as she begs and prays to save her husband from his monstrous affliction.

The Determined Warrior: Legendary actor Willem Dafoe steps in as a fierce warrior vowing to purge the countryside of the predatory beasts, dramatically declaring in the trailer, "Every wolf will die!"

The trailer culminates in a haunting final shot featuring Taylor-Johnson’s trembling body gazing toward the sky, offering a terrifying flash of his unnatural transformation.

A Reuniting of A-List Talent
This marks a major new chapter for Eggers, whose previous atmospheric thrillers—such as The Witch, The Lighthouse, and Nosferatu—have captivated global audiences.

Notably, Werewolf reunites Taylor-Johnson, Depp, and Dafoe, who previously starred together in Eggers’ critically acclaimed vampire thriller Nosferatu, which grossed roughly $180 million worldwide and earned four technical Academy Award nominations.

Following the massive success of that collaboration, the trio is set to weave cinematic magic once again. Werewolf is scheduled to hit theaters worldwide on Christmas Day, December 25.
