Plot

Young, but fierce Princess Elodie agrees to marry a handsome prince for not only her benefit, but also her family’s name, only to discover it is all a trap. At some kind of commitment ceremony between the couple, she is thrown into a dark, creepy cave all alone with a fire-breathing dragon relying on all she has left : curiosity and wits. 

Reviews

From Google Users votes only, 73% said they liked the film, with 27% not liking it. Overall, I quite enjoyed the action and adventure side of the movie, but because I have watched Stranger Things I thought they both were very similar, and Damsel was just repeating it.
