Johnny Depp and Emmanuelle Seigner star in this fascinating horror thriller that explores the esoteric depths of satanic history buried among the long lost traditions of Europe. A pawn trapped between deadly secret agendas, Depp plays a rare book buyer with a list of trusted clients who value his discretion, intellect, and his carefully guarded knowledge of the occult. But it is his basest animal insights and instincts that ensure his survival as everyone around him conceals a horror that consistently stalks him. Europe is full of ancient traditions whispering secrets surrounding almost forgotten myths. Which of these myths could unfold into a modern outcome, one too terrible to contemplate? The Ninth Gate gives a surprising look into this hidden world, and the prey - including Depp - who fall into its beguiling trap.
