* GothicHorror: Rose's experience at the ranch has many elements of this: the large mansion that's simultaneously claustrophobic and isolated, unfriendly housekeeper, her being a low-status heroine completely out of her depth around the wealthier residents, and the omnipresent hostility and psychological pressure brought against her by Phil. Her alcoholism provides the means for SanitySlippage as well, and she spends much of the film wandering around the house in her night attire and being treated similar to the MadwomanInTheAttic, albeit one who is annoying and embarrassing rather than threatening.
