'I will avenge you, father. I will save you, mother. And I will watch all of Robert Eggers' short films.'
The Big Picture Robert Eggers is one of today's most highly acclaimed filmmakers, so making a trip back to his roots with his eerie short films makes for a fascinating viewing experience. From the get-go, Eggers has had an interest in all things fantastical, morbid, and atmospheric. In the late 2000s, he tackled adaptations of two classic horror tales, a feat that few filmmakers would be comfortable doing early on in their careers.
Robert Eggers Is One of Today's Most Acclaimed Filmmakers We thought The Witch was good, but then 2019's The Lighthouse came along and beat us over the head like a couple of cursed seagulls. This sophomore feature proved that Eggers was a filmmaking force of nature and that he was here to stay. It improved upon everything that his previous feature did so well, and for fans of both Lovecraftian tales and black-and-white chillers, was a total treat.
Robert Eggers' First Short Film 'Hansel and Gretel' Isn't His Usual Style Eggers' first short film would be his 2007 adaptation of Hansel and Gretel. Of his shorts, this is the one that feels the least "Eggers" of them all; but with it being his first, it gets a pass. This black-and-white low-budget horror tale runs just under 30 minutes, and in that bite-sized runtime, it manages to boast many of the things that its filmmaker has come to be known for.
