Netflix’s ‘Damsel’ Is A Twisted Fairy Tale of Toxic Romance and Marriage Gone Wrong

“There are many stories of chivalry where a heroic knight saves the damsel in distress. This is not one of them.” So starts the twisted fairy tale of Damsel, the trending movie on Netflix that offers a new vision of “fairy tales gone wrong.” Featuring Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown as soon-to-be princess Elodie, this dark fantasy survival thriller offers a subversion of the fairy tales trope, positioning the damsel in distress as her own knight in shining armor. Like most marriages, the movie begins with a proposal – but this is one with unforeseen and deadly sacrifices.
