Damsel is an American dark fantasy film directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and written by Dan Mazeau – starring Millie Bobby Brown, Ray Winstone, Nick Robinson, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Angela Bassett, and Robin Wright.
The film is a modern take on classic fairy tale stories, which focuses on a woman named Elodie who agrees to marry a handsome prince — only to discover that there is a sinister reasoning behind her being asked. She then has to rely on her own wits and skills to survive.
Elodie goes through quite the brutal series of events throughout the film, which was filmed in a network of caves in Portugal and meant the shoot was oftentimes challenging. Director Fresnadillo said “This is a movie about a transformation – about a girl becoming a woman – and you need to really feel the intensity of it. We didn’t want to cheat any of that, and that’s why we pushed all the limits to make this a huge roller coaster of an experience for the audience.”
