that if budget and marketability weren’t issues, he would have made The Northman entirely in Old Norse. It looks like he’s finally getting the opportunity to go very, very old-school with Werwulf.

In the wake of the middling reception to Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man, this movie may be a boon for the werewolf creature feature as a whole, as long as the Old English dialogue isn’t too demanding for the average moviegoer.

At the very least, it will certainly sound like nothing else.

Nosferatu is playing in theaters.
