Emerald Fennell made a lot of bizarre choices for her Wuthering Heights adaptation, but the so-called “skin room” is undoubtedly the grossest.<\/p>\n

In the film, because it was not a feature in the book, Margot Robbie’s<\/a> Cathy moves into Thrushcross Grange after marrying Edgar Linton. He has a room especially made for her, telling Cathy that the powder-pink room was based on her literal skin – freckles and veins included.<\/p>\n

Throughout the film, we get different looks at the walls: Cathy drags her fingers down them, and Heathcliff even licks the surface whilst making out with the subject of his infatuation.<\/p>\n
