This is Depps second major flop at the box office, following the catastrophic Lone Ranger.Apparently "Dark Shadows" didn't have a budget big enough for it to also be considered a "major" flop.
FWIW, if you liked the trailer but the reviews have put you off, may I recommend "Colossus: The Forbin Project". It's from 1970 so it might be hard to find on Netflix, amazon, etc. But I myself put it in the same group as Soylent Green, Rollover, and Silent Running, to name a few, as one that will really shock you with a grim ending.

Loved Colossus: The Forbin Project. Used to be on Youtube, but can’t find it now.

Dark Sadows cost over 100 million and was considered a big flop

Please don't put
Rollover in the same category as
Soylent Green or
Colossus. It's simply a terrible film, and unlike the others in your list does not in the least present a novel concept and explore it to its natural -- and indeed terrible conclusion.
It's simply a boring exploration of a standard left-wing trope, and if that wasn't enough to turn you off, it features noted commies like Jane Fonda, Kris Kristofferson and Hume Cronyn. It's NOT a classic.
