Dude I'm so glad you covered this. Both the movie and the book are an absolutely fantastic psychological mind fuck.

[@ashh4929]

@kodokushi8321 The book is called Mygale (or Tarantula in English) by Thierry Jonquet. It's worth the read, the plot is a bit different but just as deliciously fucked up. You might like the novel Perfume, the story of a murder, too. The descriptions the author makes in that novel are astounding.

There's another film adaptation of Mygale called Victim that came out a year before The Skin I Live In. It's definitely lower budget and focuses more on torturing the rapist.

[@FatKarma999]

This didn't focus on the torture? It's the whole twist. If you rewatch the movie knowing the twist, you realize it's going on psychological yet-- that's why he tried to commit suicide earlier on in the film.

[@TheVanOvanShow]

Was that the one where the guy didn't even rape the girl? There's a movie like it where they got the wrong guy the whole time I think. There's also another one but it follows a hit man having it happened to him

[@danicabarles9633]

Yeah, I think I watched it too. The guy there, who was turned into a woman, was really good looking. And also, the male to female transformation in that film was not as perfect as this one. Do you know the title of that?

[@onewinter9411]

This movie unlocked a new fear in me: being operated and permanently turned into the opposite sex without my consent. Yikes!

[@さくら-l8t]

To help ease the trauma, I just imagine that Vincent never assaulted anyone and was actually trans but could never afford the surgery. So when she later becomes Vera, she’s a lot happier instead of traumatized. She still escapes from the crazy surgeon and goes onto live her life.

@@さくら-l8the never raped her though, he just hit her when she was screaming because of ptsd

[@さくら-l8t]

While getting a gender reassignment surgery against your will is a pretty terrifying fate, it is a rather fitting form of punishment for rapists who prey on women. By making him into a woman, Vincent has to now live through and experience the everyday horrors that come with living as a woman (fear of being assaulted, raped, walking out alone at night, etc) that he formerly took part in when he was a guy.

I feel it might be best you do a video on the movie "Unicorn Wars" from animator Alberto Vasquez. Honestly, it may seem cutesy and brightly colored at first, but as the story progresses, it turns out to be a dark and disturbing horror movie about what war does to everyone and everything...

[@ww3196]

I agree, I' d love to see Spooky cover it!

[@Evelyn-pl3we]

*spoiler* Maybe I am an outlier here, but I didn’t feel TOO bad about Vicente/Vers because he literally sexually assaulted someone (the daughter).

[@lala-nm1gh]

I was literally about to comment the same thing. Like sorry but I’m not really sympathetic with Vicente as he’s a rapist himself.

[@ashh4929]

You could almost feel sympathy in the movie version because it starts pretty consentual until that triggering song plays and then it turns into this weird bit of pandemonium. Now I don't recall if he kept going after she was freaking out so don't quote me as me stating as fact that he wasn't total scum. But in the book, there is 100% NO bones about it, no doubt he flat out assaults her and deserves everything that happens.

[@ryn8613]

​@ashh4929 he continues until he finishes. He covered her mouth and she either passes out or is suffocated by his hand. When she started screaming he should have stopped as consent was recalled but he continued like a vile animal

[@ashh4929]

@ryn8613 OK, like I said it's been a minute since I've seen the movie and couldn't remember if he did that in the movie as well. (I have the book). He was WAY worse in the book.

[@oddneighbour]

​He didn't r*pe her in the movie. He was High and ran away after she screamed and bit him​. Normally was mentally unstable because of past traumas she thought that she got r*ped. Although it is true that he forcefully kissed her . And also , during the kiss she didn't push him away because she didn't think that he was a threat to her safety. So he thought she liked him and wanted to go forward, but she screamed and he ran away. @@ryn8613

[@thegameplayer125]

this is without a doubt 1 of the most depressing films you've covered. if anything, i was feeling more saddened as the movie went on rather than horrified

[@giupinkfairy]

Thank you for covering this movie Spooky!!! I saw it years ago and shocked me the lengths a father goes to punish his daughter's rapist (I think she also had a mental developmental problem), but ends up becoming a monster so he dies like one, but the rapist needs to carry on with the guilt of what he did for his whole life, in a physical form. What shocked me was how he lived the abuse as a woman, and how men did awful remarks to his female self in a similar way he did to Norma. I really liked this movie because the controversy and "horror" Go beyond jump scares and gore and it's embedded in the plot, and the script (overall) actually makes sense to allow that horror. Wonderful job Spooky!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dantedadawg]

It’s an incredible writing piece, the feelings of a father who had his daughter assaulted leaving him to become a monster. And a rapist, who takes on the role of what women really endure literally.

[@Here_is_Waldo]

Vincente didn't assault anyone, from my understanding. He was a just a guy that the father THOUGHT did it, and didn't bother to find out the facts before going revenge mode. Zeca is the guy who assaulted someone and he just died, while the innocent guy got a sex change operation forced on him.
