"Standing before me was death, but I've never been so happy," says Depp, who plays a woman named Ellen, in the trailer, discussing her haunting with Dafoe, who plays Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz.
"This creature is a force more powerful than evil," says Dafoe as the professor. "Its desire is to consume all life on earth."
"But you can never please me as he could," Depp's character says in another scene, reiterating her infatuation with this haunting creature. The trailer is interspersed with horrifying shots including a bleeding, struggling prisoner and a chamber full of rats.
"I'm ready," whispers Depp's character at the conclusion of the trailer as she eerily levitates by an open window.
