Every Robert Eggers Movie Ranked Worst To Best (Including The Northman)
Warning: Contains major spoilers for The Northman.
Robert Eggers' latest offering, The Northman has garnered a strong critical reception, but how does it compare to the director's other movies? With three feature films now under his belt, the American auteur has firmly established himself as one of the industry's top filmmakers. Eggers' debut, The Witch, and subsequent movie, The Lighthouse, demonstrated Eggers' singular ability to create striking visuals and tell unique stories that differentiate his work from more typical, formulaic modern films.
Eggers' third movie, The Northman, has allowed Eggers to tell a much grander story compared to his first two films, thanks to a larger production budget. Alongside a bevy of acting talent, The Northman also includes previous Eggers collaborators Anya Taylor-Joy and Willem Dafoe, returning from The Witch and The Lighthouse, respectively. Yet familiar actors are not the only common threads across Eggers' three movies to date.

Eggers' critically celebrated movies feature elements of horror and draw their inspiration from various elements of mythology and lore. Eggers likes to use animals symbolically, with wolves playing a prominent role in The Northman, just as goats took on an ethereal quality in The Witch. His films can be polarizing though. Given Eggers' preference for no exposition, it isn't always easy to keep up with what is real and fantasy in his movies, but the director's distinctive style and otherworldly tone have established Eggers as one of cinema's most exciting writers and directors. Here's the ranking of Robert Egger's movies from worst to best.
