Werwulf Trailer Unveils Robert Eggers’ Horror Film
Focus Features has released the new trailer for Werwulf, the upcoming period Gothic horror film directed by Robert Eggers. The movie, which has not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), will open in theaters on December 25, 2026.
Directed by Robert Eggers from a script by Eggers and Sjón, Werwulf stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe, and Lily-Rose Depp.
The film is officially described as follows: “Witness Robert Eggers’ most visceral and haunting experience yet. Focus Features presents Werwulf, a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within.”
The producers include Robert Eggers, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Garrett Bird, and Sjón. The executive producers are Chris Columbus, Eleanor Columbus, and Bernard Bellew.
Eggers is best known for writing and directing the films The Witch (2015), The Lighthouse (2019), The Northman (2022), and Nosferatu (2024). Dafoe starred in The Lighthouse, The Northman, and Nosferatu, the latter of which also starred Lily-Rose Depp and Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
You can now also get fully immersed in the world of Werwulf by visiting DevourethAllMankynde.com, an alternate reality game timed to each full moon between September and November, culminating in a mysterious prize for those who complete all three moons each full moon.
Fans will need to seek out a hidden “sign” across various digital platforms and decipher it back into the site to fulfill the moon.
The catch is that you only have 24 hours at each full moon to search for the sign before it disappears, so you’ll need to work fast to find it. You’ll find the first clue here.
