Damsel, starring Millie Bobbie Brown (ofStranger Thingsfame), immediately caught my attention because, well, it looks one heck of a lot like aGame of Thronesspin-off – albeit one I actually want to watch (I’ve foundHouse of the Dragontiresome and didn’t get halfway through season one). Except, but of course, the two aren’t related – don’t let the “mother of dragons” language in theDamseltrailer make you think otherwise.
I can’t be the only one thinking it though: with Millie Bobbie Brown at the helm, this GoT-alike fairy tale meets horror looks to me like a melting pot ofStranger ThingsandGame of Thronesrolled into one. You can see why I want to watch it. Except there’s a problem: the critics response to the new Netflix film has been dire,nettingDamseljust 57% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ultimately the 1 hour and 50 minutes runtime versus my bedtime put me off and I ventured down aGuy Ritchie path and began watchingThe Gentlemeninstead (which is Netflix’s new no.1 series this week). Dragons versus posh Essex and Cockney gangsters, eh? Well, that sounds like a whole other movie mash-up. Clearlythe best streaming serviceshave such breadth these days that you can go down many a rabbit hole.

Anyway, I’m still not totally switched off toDamsel. After all, Ray Winstone is in the cast. So is the excellent Robin Wright, just with more headgear on than you’re likely familiar with seeing (Forrest Gump,Wonder Woman,House of Cards– she’s been in the lot). And some reviews of the movie do say it’s the great cast that’ll carry you through.
WithNetflix having raised prices once againin the not-too-distant past,the streaming service is striving to axe numerous showsin the quest for quality over quantity.Damseldoesn’t seem to have check-boxed that for all viewers, but with the overall audience score onRotten Tomatoes sat at an altogether better 72%at the time of writing, this fantasy-horror could sate my ‘Stranger of Thrones’ appetite, right?
