Her Body, Your SoulThe Tomb (2009) is also known as Ligeia, a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe.
Synopsis from IMDb: Successful writer and scholar Jonathan Merrick (Wes Bentley) falls under the spell of the irresistible, bewitchingly beautiful Ligeia (Sofya Skya). She's fighting a fatal illness and will stop at nothing to defeat death, her one true enemy. She steals other people's souls and on her quest to immortality, she tricks Jonathan into supporting her work, breaking him apart from his fiancée, Rowena (Kaitlin Doubleday) and pulling him into her dark, mysterious world. They settle down in an old manor by the Black Sea where Ligeia's everlasting presence slowly drives Jonathan to madness.
I wouldn't say "The Tomb" is a good horror movie. Its pacing is weird and painfully slow, and the acting is bland and boring. The concept of binding ancient witchcraft with science to steal people's souls is interesting and the director should have explored more on this point, not exploiting the two beautiful female lead actresses in erotic scenes, which are rather unnecessary.
Overall, this is not a recommended movie.
