Fans are loving Robert Eggers’ Werwulf trailer

Robert Eggers’ upcoming period Gothic horror film Werwulf dropped its first trailer on June 29, 2026, and fans on X (formerly Twitter) responded with overwhelming excitement. The film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Willem Dafoe, and Lily-Rose Depp in a story set in 13th-century England. Focus Features will release the film in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2026.

Users on the platform praised the trailer’s visual style and dark atmosphere. One user called it “cinema par excellence,” highlighting details as subtle as a character’s cleft lip. Another user expressed excitement over the return of the 4:3 aspect ratio, writing, “This is similarly stylistic to Robert Eggers’ earlier work!” Several users also praised the film’s striking cinematography and eerie tone.

The trailer’s dark, atmospheric imagery drew significant attention from horror and film enthusiasts alike. One user noted that “the guy standin over the huge dead beast with a spear while the whole forest is dark as hell” captured the exact dread Eggers does best. Another user compared the visual approach to Soviet-era cinema, calling it “even more appealing.” One user simply described the footage as featuring “stunning visuals.”

Many users expressed confidence in the film’s awards potential and Eggers’ consistent track record. A user also praised Lily-Rose Depp, stating she “really is making movies just as good as her father.”

Notably, Eggers co-wrote the script with Sjón, his collaborator from The Northman (2022). Meanwhile, Jarin Blaschke served as cinematographer, shooting on Super 35mm film in a 1.37:1 Academy aspect ratio. The production filmed across multiple U.K. locations, including Sky Studios Elstree, Dartmoor, and the Forest of Dean.

Ultimately, the first trailer for Werwulf debuted on June 29, 2026, coinciding with that month’s full moon. The film arrives in U.S. theaters on December 25, 2026, with a U.K. release following on January 1, 2027.
