In the spirit of Halloween, here's a list of body horror films which can be interpreted as trans allegories.

Telling a story about the French and Indian Wars from the perspective of the British prioritizes the perspective of the colonizers.

The power of a talented female director like Patty Jenkins and an overall diverse cast is what makes this film worth watching for me.
