The trailer opens with a chilling silence. A flickering flashlight beam cuts through the darkness, revealing ancient carvings on the damp walls of the Paris Catacombs. A shaky voice echoes, “It’s deeper than we thought… it’s alive down here.” The screen cuts to black, followed by a piercing scream.
The scene shifts to a bustling Paris above ground. Dr. Elena Rousseau (Léa Seydoux) has returned, now a respected historian haunted by the horrors she encountered in the catacombs years ago. A young archaeologist, Julien (Timothée Chalamet), approaches her with alarming news: new tunnels have been discovered, and strange occurrences are plaguing the excavation team. “The deeper they dig, the louder it gets,” he whispers.
Against her better judgment, Elena is drawn back into the depths. The trailer showcases the eerie descent into the catacombs, the team’s torches barely illuminating endless rows of human skulls and ancient symbols glowing faintly on the walls.
The tension escalates as the team stumbles upon a hidden chamber, its entrance marked by ominous warnings. Inside, they find a massive stone altar surrounded by skeletal remains. As Julien examines a strange artifact, the ground trembles, and whispers fill the air. “We shouldn’t have come back,” Elena mutters.
Rapid-fire scenes show chaos:
- A monstrous figure made of bones and shadows emerging from the darkness.
- The team running through collapsing tunnels as water floods the passageways.
- Elena piecing together an ancient prophecy: “It wasn’t just the dead they buried. It was something they feared.”
The trailer crescendos with Julien and Elena facing the creature, a glowing artifact their only defense. “This isn’t just Paris’s secret,” Elena says. “It’s humanity’s curse.”
The final shot lingers on the Eiffel Tower as tremors shake the city, hinting the horror is breaking through to the surface.
