Scavenger Hunt tasks #20 and 21: watch two movies that sound like they should be in the same franchise but are not (with Beast)

I can't believe I never saw this as a kid! I would 100% have convinced myself EYE was the new Beastmaster for the modern era. I love when high fantasy manages to not get bogged down in like explaining a million clans and alliances and whatnot. This is wall-to-wall action and it still looks pretty dope! I could have done with less frightened doe eyes from our alleged warrior princess love interest, but overall this was a ripping yarn.

I'm already bracing myself for all the filmbros who are going to proclaim this "not that scary" or complain about how Elisabeth Moss's character should have left sooner or whatever. For everyone who actually believes partner violence is a real thing that can happen to them, this is one of the scariest movies ever made. And while it depicts actual partner violence, it also creates an elegant and effective metaphor for abusive relationships: you know something is wrong but you can't see it, and you know that whatever is happening to you is invisible to everyone else.
