Slow burn pseudo vampire adjacent thriller ish.

A very young newly wed woman spending her honeymoon in a stately family home, nightmares and hallucinations, a changing sexual dynamic after their wedding night builds to a escalating dynamic of her feeling hunted.

I like when she is starting to feel very uncomfortable she says something along the lines of ' stop looking at me like a puppy begging for food" when she is not in the mood and he just sits staring at her.

Locating Carmila and how it escalates, the increasing hostility and desperation to sort this stuff out, or shut it down builds to a pretty great ending.

There is a lot of symbols and myth building towards the end which would be great to delve into when I am not so tired.
