*Focus Features has unveiled the first official trailer for “Werwulf,” offering audiences a first look at director Robert Eggers’ latest foray into historical horror.
The film, which opens in theaters on Dec. 25, stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe and Lily-Rose Depp.
Set in 13th-century England, “Werwulf” follows a remote community terrorized by a mysterious creature stalking the fog-covered countryside. As fear spreads, local folklore begins to take on a terrifying reality for the villagers.
Eggers wrote the screenplay with longtime collaborator Sjón. The pair previously worked together on the 2022 film The Northman. The new feature continues Eggers’ string of period horror films, which includes “The Witch,” “The Lighthouse,” “The Northman” and “Nosferatu.”
