Brilliant filmmaker Robert Eggers has repeatedly warned horror fans that his upcoming medieval creature feature Werwulf represents his darkest cinematic nightmare to date. And that’s saying a lot since he’s known for dark and disturbing films. Now, the Motion Picture Association officially confirms his terrifying promise by slapping the Focus Features production with an uncompromising, hard R rating. Specifically, federal censors cited “strong bloody and disturbing violent content, visceral gore, sexual assault, graphic nudity, and strong sexual content” throughout the runtime. Consequently, anyone expecting a cozy, family-friendly holiday outing on Christmas Day should probably leave their unsuspecting relatives home beside the fireplace. Primal Folklore and an Elite Ensemble Set against the bleak, mud-soaked landscape of thirteenth-century England, the harrowing story follows a mysterious apex predator stalking the countryside. As ancient local folklore transforms into a terrifying, blood-drenched reality, Eggers weaves a grim tale of devotion, damnation, and the devil within.

Maika Monroe joining the cast of Victorian Psycho instantly sold me on the project. After her phenomenal work in Longlegs, I tracked every update as the November 13 release date approached. The trailers hinted at total madness, but the actual movie blew right past my expectations. Virginia Feito adapted the script directly from her acclaimed novel. Monroe plays Winifred, an eccentric governess taking a job at a remote gothic estate. The family quickly notices that something feels off about her. Beneath her polite exterior lies a dark secret. Winifred is actually a ruthless, cold-blooded 19th-century serial killer. A Powerhouse Horror Ensemble Director Zachary Wigon (Sanctuary) and Longlegs producer Dan Kagan assembled a killer supporting cast. Thomasin McKenzie (Last Night in Soho), Jason Isaacs, and Evie Templeton (Wednesday) star alongside Monroe. Additionally, Ruth Wilson (His Dark Materials), Amy De Bhrún (Vikings), and Jacobi Jupe (Hamnet) round out the ensemble. All did well with their portrayals. But Monroe was brilliant. Maika Monroe
