Millie Bobby Brown’s new Netflix fantasy film draws its inspiration from some unexpected places. Damsel, a twisted take on the fairytale genre, follows a young woman named Elodie who has to overcome incredible odds to survive after being thrown into a cave with a dragon.
Much of the film sees the Stranger Things star navigating dark caves under the earth to try and escape the fire-breathing monster. With plenty of close-ups and its dark tone – as well as a sinister creature lurking in the shadows – there’s a hint of Alien's Ripley to her character.
