Martin Scorsese gushes over director Robert Eggers

Martin Scorsese is a fan of horror flicks, and his passion for the genre draws him to Robert Eggers.

His latest vampire film, Nosferatu, has received rave reviews, including from the legendary director.

He told Turner Classic Movies' Dave Karger about the movie, calling it "Amazing," adding that anything this guy does is amazing. And that's one [film] you don't do much after seeing. You're still in the world. You're in Transylvania, and it's really, [laughs] whoa. Man, he's something."

Robert, who is passionate about period dramas, said his upcoming project, Werwulf, will further leave the audience shivering.

"It's a medieval werewolf movie," he shared. "It's also the darkest thing I've ever written by far."

Werwulf's official logline reads, "Set in 13th century, the film is about a man cursed to turn into a werewolf each night, forcing him to grapple with his monstrous transformation and the consequences it brings upon his village."
