comment
Stitches is a 2001 Direct to Video supernatural horror film directed by Neal Marshall Stevens and produced by Full Moon.Mrs. Albright, an apparently sweet old woman, arrives at a bed and breakfast. However, Albright is not what she seems to be. She's actually a demon who manipulates people with their innermost desires until they make a bargain with her so she can steal their skin to make her skin suit, and starts working her magic on the other guests.It was later mocked on a 2020 episode of Rifftrax.

Batman Gambit
 Stitches (2001) / int_38d02d44
comment
Batman Gambit: All of the bargains see Albright playing to a given person's personal desire. The biggest example is the final bargain, where Albright seemingly tortures Catherine to get Gray to give up his soul in order to protect her. After it's done, she remarks to her victim that she knew all along about this characteristic and gloats about exploiting it.

Downer Ending: Albright claims the souls of everybody in the house. She makes Gray into her new imp, and traps everybody else in paper dolls. The film ends with her leaving the house, musing about how the world will be lovely after everybody is dead.

Devil, but No God
 Stitches (2001) / int_59fe174d
comment
Devil, but No God: Mrs. Albright and her minions/victims are the only supernatural entities we see, and no prayers or holy symbols have any effect on her. Best exemplified when Kathryn holds out a cross necklace to defend herself and Albright remarks that "our kind invented the cross."

Laser-Guided Karma: Catherine not only makes a bargain with Albright of her own free will, but she also participates in a scheme to trick Gray into giving up his soul. She even mocks Gray before departing and muses he'll be turned into one of those paper dolls. That is instead her fate.

Too Dumb to Live: Catherine completely buys the idea she can become a "queen of Hell" by agreeing of her own free will to join Albright. Albright herself muses that "amazing. I think it's actually going to be a surprise to her" that Catherine ends up just another one of her dolls.
