The first trailer for Werwulf is here.
Focus Features dropped a first trailer for the film, releasing in theaters on December 25, on Monday (June 29), and it looks seriously intense.
Robert Eggers directed the movie and co-wrote it with Sjón.
The movie stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe, and Lily-Rose Depp
Here’s the official synopsis so far: “Witness Robert Eggers’ most visceral and haunting experience yet. Focus Features presents WERWULF, a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation and the devil within.”
“I wanted to follow up Nosferatu with another horror movie. I had written something that was a bit too obscure. So I thought, Let me be sensible and make a werewolf movie. [Laughs.] I wanted to do it in the UK because that’s where I live now,” the director told Esquire.
“Backpedaling away from influences and mythologies that do and don’t have to do with the film, the cool thing about going back into the past is that you can kind of hit a reset button. So all the clichés of being bitten by a werewolf and silver bullets and a lot of the stuff that has become almost campy doesn’t exist in the mythology of this movie. So you don’t need to have seen Lon Cheney Jr.’s The Wolf Man or An American Werewolf in London to get what’s going on here.”
“Part of this being a horror movie is that it’s about mystery and suspense and the slow-burn, uncomfortable vibes that lead us into darkness and ultimately horror. I think the less we know, the better,” he added.
