For everyone who likes a sci-fi/horror story with a transgendered twist (the sci-fi refeering to futuristic surgery), should like the movie 'La piel que habito'.
It's a scary movie someone suggested to me about a rich surgeon (Antonio Banderas) whose mentally unstable daughter supposedly got raped by a guy.
he kidnaps the guy and when his daughter commits suicide, he starts transforming him in a woman who looks like his deceased wife and falls in love with 'her'.
I read the wiki first before I saw the movie to make sure I wouldn't have any nightmares, but though it's a very frightening theme to me, the story was brought really well, in my opinion. It wasn't purely focused on the sadistic side of it.
For a forced feminization movie, it was good/scary enough for me to watch without fear of nightmares :p.
though just to be certain: NOT for the faint of heart!
grtz & hugs,

Attractive and repulsive at the same time...
...I saw the trailer for this recently and it was so hard not to stare in amazement; I actually wanted to be the character, which is sad in and of itself, I suppose. Forced feminization has an appeal to me for some reason; almost like being carried away from real life with no worries or responsibilities left to account for in real life? Am I the only one who feels ashamed of these feelings? Thanks for posting this blog; very very compelling subject for a lot more than me, I suppose.
Love, Andrea Lena
you arent the only one
I probably wont even be able to watch the movie, because it would stir up those kind of feelings, hon.
It's sad
that these films, which are fantasy, always use female actors to play the transformed character, when we all know that sort of transformation is highly unlikely if not impossible. Still I suppose it would drop its appeal if they had ugly old trannies on it.

Your description...
...'another' doesn't describe it, since the first film isn't a TG slasher film, and the idea of a TG slasher film is infuriating, since it perpetuates the absolutely disgusting stereotype of how fucked up the world believes we are. The first film is a psychological thriller about someone whose life is stolen and manipulated by a bitter man. Two different genre with virtually no similarities. Sorry!

Thank you 'Drea,
My sentiments exactly,there should be no comparison.The movie stands on its own
for what it is and has no relation to something pulled randomly off the net and
digressing from the initial comment.It hurts me after spending yesterday with two
friends recovering from their surgery and knowing what they have gone through.
