Robert Eggers

This documentary explores the folk horror phenomenon from its beginnings in three foundational films: Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General (1968), Piers Haggard's Blood on Satan's Claw (1971) and Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man (1973).

Writer-director Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse) takes on the classic gothic vampire tale, made renown to cinema a century ago with the silent 1922 version. The story follows the obsession between a haunted young woman in 19th century Germany and the ancient Transylvanian vampire who stalks her, bringing untold horror with him. 

Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson are two lighthouse keepers who slowly descend into madness in this psychological thriller from Robert Eggers (The Witch).

Filmmaker Robert Eggers follows up The Witch and The Lighthouse with this Viking revenge epic set in 10th Century Iceland, following a Nordic prince seeking justice for his murdered father.

Winner of the Directing Award at Sundance 2015 for first-timer Robert Eggers, this atmospheric thriller follows a devout family living in the wilderness of 1630 New England (60 years before the Salem witch trials) who fall victim to paranoia and superstition.
