Robert Eggers Werwulf — 35mm Christmas Day - is preparing to unleash

Robert Eggers Werwulf -- is preparing to unleash his most visceral and unholy vision yet with Focus Features’ Werwulf—a film so steeped in dread it feels less like a movie and more like a medieval fever dream that refuses to fade with the dawn. On December 25, in select theaters across the land, this nightmare will claw its way onto the screen in pure 35mm, the grainy, flickering truth of the celluloid matching the raw, unforgiving world Eggers has conjured.

A handy graphic (check the source for the full list of haunted venues) maps every location where the 35mm prints will unspool on Christmas Day. Do not linger. Secure your tickets now, before the seats vanish into the mist.

Set in the shadowed wilds of 13th-century England, Werwulf watches as a mysterious creature stalks the land and ancient folklore tears free of the tales to become a living, blood-soaked reality. Local legends are no longer stories told by the fire—they are the thing that steps out of the fog and into your path.

Here is the official logline, delivered like a final warning:“Witness Robert Eggers’ most visceral and haunting experience yet. Focus Features presents Werwulf, a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation and the devil within.”

The cast is a gathering of familiar faces drawn back into Eggers’ grim orbit: Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Lily-Rose Depp (both from Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet). They step into a world where faith frays, love turns feral, and the devil wears a familiar skin.

While the long night of waiting continues, the Werwulf Alternate Reality Game stirs once more. Focus Features has confirmed that beginning at 9 PM PT on October 25th / midnight ET on October 26th, DevourethAllMankynde.com will open again for the second full moon. Fans have only 24 hours to uncover the next sign and draw one step closer to the mysterious prize that will be revealed under the November full moon. For this cycle, a Snapchat lens has been unleashed—scan the real moon itself and the sign will appear, brief and hungry, before it vanishes with the light.

The full moon is rising. The prints are ready. Christmas Day will not be gentle.

Get your tickets. Enter the dark.
