Werwulf: Official Movie Synopsis
This chilling and visceral period Gothic horror film throws traditional monster tropes out the window to deliver an uncompromising look at historical myth. Directed by visionary filmmaker Robert Eggers, Werwulf plunges audiences into the bleak, rain-drenched landscape of 13th-century England. The story follows a humble, nameless farmer (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who struggles to protect his family in an isolated, rural village plagued by an unseen beast. Through unsettling flashbacks, we learn the farmer was lured into a harrowing bestial transformation by an ominous elder, cursing him with a dark, primal curse. As a mysterious creature stalks the fog-covered countryside, local folklore morphs into a living nightmare, spreading religious paranoia and intense fear among the desperate villagers.
Co-written by Eggers and acclaimed Icelandic author Sjón, this medieval werewolf horror movie is a devastating tale of devotion, damnation, and the beast within. The farmer must wage a losing psychological battle against his own monstrous metamorphosis while desperately trying to shield his devoted wife (Lily-Rose Depp) from the creeping darkness. With a relentless beast hunter (Willem Dafoe) closing in and a village consumed by madness, the film explores the disintegration of faith in the face of ancient evil. Reuniting the creative powerhouse team behind The Witch and Nosferatu, this modern dark fantasy cinema experience favors historical authenticity, Middle English dialogue, and overwhelming atmospheric dread over simple jump scares
