AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON GOES BEAST MODE IN ROBERT EGGERS' GOTHIC WEREWULF
Universal just dropped the creepy trailer for the director's medieval monster movie—arriving Christmas Day with fangs, fur, and plenty of fog.
Lock your doors, villagers! Robert Eggers is bringing the howl this holiday season with "Werewulf," and Aaron Taylor-Johnson is ditching his suave spy roles to transform into a genuinely terrifying creature. According to Variety, Universal just released the trailer for the gothic horror flick, which stalks into theaters on Dec. 25.
The film is set in 13th-century England, where a mysterious monster terrorizes a foggy countryside and turns local folklore into a blood-curdling reality. Based on the trailer, this isn't your typical full-moon transformation tale—this beast is on the prowl whenever it pleases, and the villagers are in serious trouble.
Eggers has a knack for turning historical settings into absolute nightmares (hello, "The Lighthouse" and "The Witch"), so expect plenty of atmospheric dread, period-accurate creepiness, and Taylor-Johnson doing some serious monster-movie heavy lifting. This one's shaping up to be the scariest gift under the tree!
