Robert Eggers is back in horror with Werwulf, and the first official trailer just dropped—featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the lead role.
The film reunites Eggers with Willem Dafoe and brings Lily-Rose Depp into the cast for what the studio calls "a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within." No official synopsis has been released yet.
This is Eggers' latest venture into historically rooted horror. The director has built a reputation for atmospheric, psychologically unsettling cinema through meticulous production design and attention to period detail.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has had a strong recent run, and a lead role in an Eggers picture is a significant opportunity. Dafoe brings scene-stealing gravitas to supporting roles, and Depp adds another established name to the ensemble.
The film is positioned as nightmare fuel in the vein of Eggers' previous work. With the trailer now public, cinephiles and horror audiences will likely examine every frame for clues about the story beneath the surface of Werwulf.
