a reminder: most sexual and domestic violence against women is committed by a cisgender man she knows well.

Acceptance of trans people has never once even remotely changed this because there are more sexual and domestic violence incidents in the UK per year than there are trans people total.

Not helped by the dub but looks like it was trying go for style over substance but with script and direction that understand neither of these at a basic level #TheFilmCrowd

As Terry Pratchett put it, vampires always leave weapons around the castle to give their victims a chance #TheFilmCrowd

I think this is supposed to echo the alleged crimes of Ezbert Bathory but it's nowhere near as disturbing as the short story 'The Bloody Countess' in The Oxford book of Gothic Tales #TheFilmCrowd

You don't throw non-lit candles. How is the castle supposed to burn down at the end. #TheFilmCrowd

This is meant to be a example of an exploitive male gaze, but it's currently being viewed under a 'How much longer does this go on for' gaze. #TheFilmCrowd
