    Summary

    Summary: I make this film's characters deal with the aftermath of everyone's choices because this is preferable to an ending text-over that literally disappears its female protagonist.

    Alternatively: this is the consequence of me occasionally deciding to rewatch this movie and then deciding that, in fact, I find Isolde's choices just as baffling as I did the first time. There is one (1) man who is dedicated to her happiness in this film, and it is *checks notes* the older man she is bound to in a political marriage, rather than the lover who destroys their trysting place in a fit of manipulative pique. I have questions.

    Or: what about the overlooked OFC of the film, the quietly competent woman in her 30s who just exists in the background? What about her perspective on this story?

    Summary

    It was there, within her reach, just a finger's breadth away.

    Then it wasn't.

    And now, she had come back to something even worse than an empty home.

    Summary

    Their bond is older than either will admit. A twisted codependency, half desire, half damnation. Catherine still fears him, and Lamb, in his own foul, ruined way, can’t let her go. Catherine was once Lamb’s apprentice, back when he first turned from man to monster. She walked away when she saw how far he was willing to go. Now, years later, she’s drawn back into his orbit when strange murders hit London. Bodies found drained, eyes missing, whispers of vampires walking the city. Lamb knows what’s hunting them. He also knows he needs Catherine, her purity of power, to bind the monster in the shadows. On Halloween night, with werewolves prowling alleyways and witches dancing on rooftops, Catherine will have to decide whether to let Lamb drag her back into his abyss… or to bind herself to him forever.

    Summary

    “You,” she corrects. “What if I want to leave you?”

    “Oh.” His eyes that have been wandering around the town square where they’re sitting – it’s not even a square, she doesn’t know why they call it that – slide around to fix on her as his face settles into a forced evenness as he weighs this new and unforeseen complication. Why would you do that? she imagines him asking or, where would you possibly go? or stop wasting time. “Then you leave, I guess.”

    “You won’t stop me?”

    “I’d hope you’d be smart about it.”

    “You won’t hunt me down and bring me back?”

    Back where? she imagines him retorting, and feels foolish for even asking. “What would be the use of that?” he grunts instead.
