"In 13th-century England, a mysterious creature stalks a foggy countryside as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality for the villagers. The trailer echoed Eggers' past movies, with plenty of black-and-white shots of mauled corpses, desecrated graves and frightened townsfolk terrorized by an unseen beast."
"Eggers' Nosferatu is one of the darkest films to come out of Hollywood in recent memory, explicitly linking death and desire for what's essentially a $50 million feature-length dramatization of the French phrase la petite mort."
"Eggers' version of these stories takes inspiration from all of them, setting Nosferatu in Germany circa 1838 and embellishing it with painstakingly crafted miniatures and looming shadows straight out of an expressionistic silent film."
Robert Eggers' latest film, Werewulf, set in 13th-century England, features a mysterious creature terrorizing villagers. The teaser showcases black-and-white imagery of horror elements. The film is scheduled for a Christmas release. Additionally, Eggers is reimagining Nosferatu, linking themes of death and desire, inspired by Murnau's 1922 silent film and Stoker's Dracula. Set in 1838 Germany, it incorporates detailed miniatures and shadows reminiscent of expressionist cinema, focusing on newlyweds and their dark journey.
