** Creator/PedroAlmodovar's 2011 film ''Film/TheSkinILiveIn'' is also about a plastic surgeon who is working on a revolutionary breakthrough with skin, and there's a hidden patient wearing a mask similar to Christiane's (though the circumstances are '''much''' different).

* AdaptationDisplacement: The movie is actually based on a book of the same name.
** It goes even further because many people only know of the Music/BillyIdol song and have no idea it's based on this movie.

Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: There are several spiritual successors, such as:
** A 1968 British film ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_(1968_film) Corruption]]'' (starring Creator/PeterCushing) has similar premise where a surgeon tries to restore his ([[MayDecemberRomance much younger]]) fiancée's beauty by repeatedly treating her with fluids extracted from the pituitary glands of murdered female victims.
** A 1988 French film ''Film/{{Faceless}}'' has a similar plot involving beautiful women who are abducted by Dr. Flamand's female assistant and kept hostage. The doctor uses the skin of the women to perform plastic surgery on his disfigured sister, but the experiments leave the victims mutilated and dead.
** The film apparently influenced Creator/JohnWoo for ''Film/FaceOff''. Coincidentally, Woo's trademark use of white doves in his films is similar to Christiane's dove-laden escape in this film's finale.
** The film inspired the idea of a featureless mask for Michael Myers in ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}''.

If the trope is invoked, then it doesn't classify as YMMV.

* CreepyAwesome: Admit it, this is Pinks' territory.
* CompleteMonster: Several of the characters in the story are this. The only thing keeping Rose out of this territory is that she at least attempts to improve herself as a pony [[spoiler: (even though she fails at it the same way she fails at everything else she does).]]
* [[{{EverybodyRemembersTheStripper}} Everypony Remembers the Stripper]]: Most likely because it's actually [[spoiler: Applejack.]]
* JerkassWoobie: Even if you hate a character for the things he or she has done, it pays to remember that the world seems to just hate them all pretty equally.
* MoralEventHorizon: For Rose, to the eyes of the reader, [[spoiler: When she rapes Twilight Sparkle over a perceived threat.]]
* NightmareFuel:
** [[spoiler: Rose raping Twilight Sparkle with a police baton.]]
** The spidery, screaming unicorn in SCOOTS' trunk.
** [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle herself.]]
** Pinkie Pie can be this pretty easily, but special mention should go to the Tongueless. Once-sentient ponies with their tongues removed, lobotomized and [[FateWorseThanDeath reduced to unthinking animals to perform slave labor for the rest of their days...]]
* {{Squick}}: Quite a lot of the story delves into this territory.
