Robert Eggers called Werwulf “the darkest thing I have ever written” when Focus Features brought footage to CinemaCon. Now we have the MPA’s full description of what Eggers has in store for Christmas.
Werwulf is rated R for “strong bloody/disturbing violent content, gore, sexual assault, graphic nudity and strong sexual content.”
Set in 13th-century England, the werewolf film reunites Eggers with his Nosferatu stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe. Eggers wrote the screenplay with Sjón, his co-writer on The Northman. The theatrical trailer lets us hear Taylor-Johnson howl while keeping the transformation itself a surprise.
Focus Features opens Werwulf in theaters December 25, 2026. If you want to spend Christmas watching this one on film, tickets for select 35mm screenings are already on sale.
