YMMV / The Black Stranger

• Jerkass Woobie: Count Valenso is never portrayed as a nice person, even before having Tina brutally whipped (for no fault of hers), but his panicky fear of the demon still makes him pitiable.
• Moral Event Horizon: When Count Valenso has the child Tina whipped in an extended, gory scene purely for bringing news about the black demon, it's clear that he does not deserve redemption.
