But when he breaks the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green), the witch turns him into a vampire and buries him alive.

As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about this family. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, the film also stars Olivia Wilde, Michael Hall D'Addario, Philip Baker Hall, Mark Duplass and Michelle Pfeiffer.
