Killer Body Count 2024 (b/s) (submission)

Hi, Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here to submit the 2024 movie, “Killer Body Count” which I didn’t see on your lists.

TL;DR:

A young wayward woman is committed to a a sex treatment center that takes a Catholic faith-based approach and is run by a pair of 30-something siblings. Soon, a killer starts killing each of the young patients for their lustful sins. But the righteous and God-fearing sister and brother are a bit hypocritical cuz they’re having hot-monkey-sex with each other at every secret turn.

DETAILED SYNOPSIS:

(WARNING: NARRATIVE AND GIFs MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS)

Okay, okay…I know… it’s another cheesy, horror guilty pleasure from ShipCestFan. But to my defense, it’s getting harder and harder to find very good cestship movies or shows with deep emotional meaning that aren’t already on your lists or discussed at length. I’m doing my best to add variety to your site! ;)

So back to this movie. Believe it or not, it’s a 2024 Tubi original! And 10 minutes into the movie, the viewer realizes Tubi doesn’t have the budget that Amazon or Netflix have. lol. The production values and acting are…okay. And the story is pretty cliché: A group of young adults at a rehab center for the sexually deviant start getting picked off by an overzealous, religious (and masked) killer.

Cami plays our protagonist who’s sent to a treatment center for the sexually deviant by her father who thinks Cami is a sex addict when the 20-something young woman is really only trying to figure out her sexual identity. There, she meets other supposed sexual deviants her age.

The treatment center is faith-based and uses religion and cliches like the fear of God and going to hell to scare the young adult patients straight. But the hot young adults (all attractive with great bodies) don’t listen and frequently hook up with each other – male/female and female/female. Soon, a masked killer begins killing those young adults refusing to reform and the movie becomes a typical slasher horror flick that’s a step above B-budget but doesn’t quite reach that A-budget status.

But followers of your blog would be most interested in the cestship revealed by the 30-something brother and sister who run the treatment center. Tawny and her older brother, Eugene, were part of a very Catholic family and raised on the grounds of the treatment center run by their father and uncle. Explanations – mostly provided by sister Tawny – reveal that the siblings had only themselves growing up and when their family members passed away (presumably at the hands of the killer), the center was left to them and it’s been only the two of them running it. The siblings are extremely religious and everything at the center revolves around God and following God’s path. But the fact that they have never married and have been living together in a small cabin on the premises immediately raises eyebrows and makes them sus’.

Tawny, especially, likes to remind the young patients about the sins of the flesh and tells the women of the co-ed group that they are the Whores of Babylon. She wants to convince the viewer that she is a God-fearing woman. But Tawny is a bit hypocritical, also enjoying unbridled sex with her brother, including oral sex (implied in one scene) and hot, spur-of-the-moment explosive sex in another scene where Tawny is getting off listening to herself cry out passionately how she has gone from sister to wife which pushes her to orgasm. Yikes.

For me, personally, this hypocrisy is very appealing, especially when it involves a cestship. Two opposing forces, if you will, of “righteousness” vs “immorality”existing in the same person who has no qualms breaking cestship taboos but then goes to church or prays or…whatever. So this aspect, especially coming from the sister, Tawny, kept me watching the film til the very end. I’m thinking many of your followers will enjoy that aspect, too. Throughout the movie, Tawny and Eugene give off respectable brother and sister vibes to everyone else. If anything, they are, maybe, a little too over-the-top with their religious fanaticism. But behind closed doors, their disregard for Scripture and temptation to continue their loving and very sexual cestship is obvious.

A personal note. I’ve mentioned before how I believe that many cestships IRL develop because of circumstances or situations that “present” the cestship to two people and it serves as a “trigger” for them to consensually move into it. Even though this movie was fiction, it presents one of these situations that could IRL be very much the way a cestship develops. Think about it – a brother and sister have no one but each other and grow up together on an isolated, family-owned campground. As they grow up and their burgeoning sexuality is piquing their curiosity, they turn to each other to explore it while the family is preoccupied with adulting. And as they move into adulthood, they have no desire to marry or leave each other, living together to continue running the campground and moving fully into a romantic and sexual cestship. There is even a scene in the movie that supports this where – during sex – Tawny is crying out a verse and she says, “She is indeed my sister…and became my wife.” This is exactly how I think it would happen IRL.

So… the movie has a few twists and turns, so I’m not going to give away the ending since the cestship is not the primary plot or theme of the movie – it’s a titillating subplot thrown in by Writer/Director, Danishka Esterhazy. A quick online google of Danishka indicates that she has some chops, having her films previewed at film festivals and winning several awards. Her movies are female-driven, and this is the case with Killer Body Count, where LGBTQ+ themes are prevalent. But what I liked was that the movie never sacrifices one gender to promote the other. Everyone stands on their own.

The movie is available for free on Tubi and might be a fun Friday night romp for anyone wanting a light, horror flick with cestship themes. I hope this helps some of your followers decide on whether to watch it or not? Here are a few GIFs from the movie – focusing primarily on the siblings. After all, that’s what we’re all about here, right?. :)

--

Looks like there are plenty of scenes related to Tawny and Eugene’s relationship, even though they are not the focus of the movie. Thanks for your hard work on all of the gifs and the detailed description of the movie. I’m sure many will be glad to see that it’s on Tubi!

Actors in multiple roles with cestship themes (submission)

Hey, Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here. No big submission just a comment/thought.  I recently watched a movie with a cestship subplot in which the main character has shown up in other movies with cestship themes.

It got me wondering how many actors I could think of that I’ve seen show up repeatedly in multiple roles or movies that contain cestships. Here’s the ones I could think of…

Bente Borsum - House on the Rocks (1974) m-s; Mors Hus (His Mother’s House - 1974) m-s. 

Bente was a smokin hot MILF in her day, and she made both of these movies in the same year in which she plays a mom (or stepmom) in a sexual cestship with her adult son.

Joan Severance - Wiseguy (1987-1990) b-s; In Dark Places (2000) b-s.

Joan was a staple on what us Oldies used to call late-night “Skinamax” flicks (bad softporn movies). Wiseguy was a popular television show in the 80s, and she was in a consensual cestship with her cousin or brother (can’t remember). In In Dark Places, she plays the main character’s half sister who shows back up in his life and seduces him. What’s sad about this film is that I cannot for the life of me find the version of the film that includes the sex scene between them. Every version I’ve found, the scene is badly edited out. Boo!

Eva Green - Womb (m-s); The Dreamers (b-s); Camelot (b-s); Penny Dreadful (b-s)

My girl, Eva. What can I say?  She kicked things off with the cestshippey Dreamers and continued in Womb, Camelot and Penny Dreadful. I’m convinced she gets off on incest. And I love her for it. LOL

Julianne Moore - Map to the Stars (not central); Savage Grace (m-s)

Julianne has also picked some rather “interesting” indie films in which she raises cestship eyebrows.  Map to the Stars has a cestship subplot but it doesn’t involve her. Still…she had to choose that film after reading the script. And she starred in a movie called Chloe where she gets it on with a young woman half her age and there are big-time m/d ship vibes from it.

Connie Nielsen - Devil’s Advocate (b-s); Gladiator (b-s); All Relative (m-sil)

Connie, Connie, Connie - I first fell in love with her when she was Satan’s daughter trying to seduce her brother. She gets better with age so I’d love to see her in a m-s role. In All Relative, she seduces her future son in law, so she’s on her way!

Dominique Swain - Lolita 1997 (f/d); Blood Craft 2019 (s/s)

Dominique played the coquettish Lolita in Showtime’s production of the great Nabokov novel. She killed it.  She then showed up in Blood Craft two decades later as the mother of 2 young adult sisters in a cestship.

Alberta Watson - Spanking the Monkey (1994), Sweet Angel Mine (1996), The Sweet Hereafter (not central) (1997)I’m going to be submitting a GIF post on Sweet Angel Mine but yeah… Alberta.  She has to be the Queen of Cestship. She was even quoted as saying the incest role in Spanking the Monkey was her favorite film role and the incest didn’t bother her at all. May she RIP.  I like to believe she may have continued with cestship roles if she was still alive.

I’d love to hear of others.

La Tarea Prohibida (Spanish film from early 2000s??? M/S) (submission)

Hi, Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here to talk about the Spanish film, “La Tarea Prohibida”.

TL;DR:

A film student employs his hot mom to star in his college film class’ final project – a film that has to be shot in one take and which cannot be edited. It has a sex scene. The sex scene spirals out of control. Now what?

DETAILED SYNOPSIS:

(WARNING: NARRATIVE AND GIFs CONTAIN SPOILERS)

I had messaged you previously about this film because I thought it was listed on your master lists. But you had clarified that the one on your list was a short called, “La Tarea”. So lets talk about “La Tarea Prohibida” which is just under 90 minutes and contains a canon incest plot around a mother and her biological son.

I had a hard time finding an English subtitled version of Prohibida, and with the Spanish being spoken so fluently (and quickly), it was hard for me to fully comprehend the plot and what was happening? But I tried my best. I did find an SRT file but it was horribly off sync, so I tried to correct the timing and this is what I think is happening. I think, LOL…

Maria and Santiago are mother and son. And although you get the sense that there is something unusual about this relationship at the beginning of the movie, it’s not readily apparent until later in the movie that they are related. The viewer gets the impression that when not at school, Santiago lives back home where his beautiful mother, Maria – who oozes sexuality - lives with Santiago’s stepfather and their young daughter. Santiago is Maria’s biological son from a previous marriage. The movie makes a strong point of Santiago’s father being the love of Maria’s life, and I think this is a subtle hint to why Maria is so attracted to the, now, adult son they had together who apparently looks much like his father.

The home in which they live has an outdoor, rooftop living space. So it seems Santiago has asked his mom to help him finish his final film project so he can pass (or graduate?). And there’s a requirement that it all take place entirely in one take (i.e., no cuts). The plot of Santiago’s film project is such that Santiago plays a young movie director who meets a beautiful, older woman and offers her a part in his movie which has something to do with God’s omnipresence. He mentions to the woman that there is nudity and a sex scene but they are discreet and mild. The older woman agrees to star in this young man’s movie, despite the nude and sex scene. Remember, the “older woman” in his film school project is being played by, Maria, his biological mother in the actual movie, donning a wig and having several outfit changes. Ahem.

So Maria decides to help her son with his project and play the beautiful, older woman. And it seems she does not tell her husband that she is doing this as she has sent him and their daughter away for the weekend. She’s even put up a ‘do not disturb’ sign on the front door. Um..mmmkay. I had to snicker when her young daughter innocently asks mom why she put up a 'do not disturb’ sign, and Maria responds, “I was helping your brother with his homework.” Yeah, mm-hmm… sure let’s go with that. LOL.

So the actual movie starts out with Santiago’s movie starting and his mom playing the woman he had met arriving at his rooftop location shoot to film their scene. Mother and son – acting as the older woman and the young director - spend the entire duration of the real movie filming their movie. But in the process, they do some serious flirting with each other; teasing each other and, perhaps inadvertently (or perhaps knowingly), raising each other’s libidos. Remember, they’re not supposed to be mother and son in Santiago’s school film, which makes the heavy flirting and teasing…acceptable?

So the “planned” sex scene between “the woman and the younger man” in Santiago’s movie is uneventful, but it obviously aroused them further because after the simulated sex scene, things get interesting. Afterwards, passions are still running high, and in a revelatory moment where mother and son gaze at each other like “I want this. You want this?” They fall to the floor and make passionate love again…only this time for real.

Even though no nudity is ever revealed in this film, the passion and enthusiasm displayed by mother and son during the real sex scene was off the charts for me personally. There’s no holding back their enthusiasm, and it’s loaded with passionate moaning, smooching and multiple orgasms it seems. I was half expecting to see Maria’s eyes roll back into her head at one point. LOL

The aftermath of the unexpected real sex plays out somewhat bittersweet. Both, mother and son, are a bit shell-shocked that they let things escalate, but neither seems repulsed or regretful. Yay! In fact, Maria tells her son it was one of the greatest moments of her life. But now they have a problem. Santiago’s recorder was running the whole time, and if he wants to turn the project in, he cannot cut the scene out. Rut-Roh. He and his mother seem to be at odds whether or not to destroy the videotape. The film wraps up with Maria’s husband and their daughter arriving home unexpectedly and making their way to the rooftop, where mother and son are both acting nervously. After they lie to her husband about how it’s going, Maria, her husband and their daughter head down to the first floor for dinner.

Maria has stolen the videotape of the movie and burns it in her kitchen sink while trying to act normal around her husband who questions her behavior. I couldn’t help feel like it wasn’t entirely shame that Maria was feeling but continued desire for her son. And her desire is evident when Santiago appears from upstairs with his coat and hat on; suitcases packed. Presumably, he is heading back to school?

The passion between mother and son is still running high, so Maria tries to scurry past her son, but he grabs her and spins her into his arms like a classic, black-n-white romance scene! And with Maria’s husband preoccupied in the next room, Santiago kisses his hot, biological mom passionately just like the lovers in those black-n-white movies! Sex scene aside, this kissing scene is the best scene of the movie, in my opinion, because it’s veerrry romantic/classic.

But best of all, during the kissing scene, Maria goes from reluctant and tensed up to relaxed and returning the kiss with fervor. And her husband is just in the next room! One reason I loved this film is because it makes no effort to hide that mother and son are biologically related, yet the flirting, teasing, kissing and sex��especially the sex… are all off the charts. Nice.

Santiago leaves, leaving his mother in tears watching him leave. Is she crying because he may never return after what happened? Or is she crying because she really enjoyed the experience but knows it can never happen again? She returns to her husband who makes a comment about “cutting the umbilical cord” with mama’s boy. I found the comment ironic considering what happened between them. What’s also interesting is that Santiago seemed unbothered that his mother burned the film, leading the viewer (at least this viewer) to wonder if he didn’t’ plan the whole fake thing just to bed his mother? Maria alludes to this possibility earlier in the film but it’s never confirmed.

A final caveat: The movie begins with a crowded film set and crew on the rooftop. The Director on set yells action and Santiago moves into his “film school project” waiting for his older female star. We never see the film crew again, so it was unclear to me what part they play in the movie? This is what I meant that this might have been a movie within a movie within a movie.

I wondered if the film crew is Santiago in the future as a successful Director? It’s important to note that right after mother and son have sex, his mom mentions that she believes Santiago will become a great and famous director. So maybe the movie starts out in the future with an older, Famous Santiago yelling action and then cuts to that (memory of the) fateful night years earlier and the rooftop-film-project that changed his life? Maybe it gave him encouragement and he became famous from his mother’s words of encouragement and sex with her?

Maybe someone who fluently understands the Spanish spoken in the film can explain it for us! The movie is not that difficult to find across the web. I think Dailymotion has the full movie for free but without subtitles. There are other sites, too, but all of them were no subtitles or in other languages besides English. I encourage folks to seek this out and post their thoughts!

Here are a few moments from the film with (hopefully somewhat accurate) English subtitles that I added along with my comments in yellow text.

Thank you as always for the detailed synopsis and all of the gifs. Boy, that was a fun one. When you mentioned this movie before after the La Tarea mix up, I never would have guessed it had this much to deliver. What a happy find!

Even if it is a movie a within a movie, that’s OK. Either people made it up, or people made up characters who made it up. It works for me.

Appassionata 1974 (f/d) (submission)

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here. Didn’t see 1974’s “Appassionata” on your list so thought I’d submit it.

TL;DR:

Eugenia, a voluptuous, curious and coquettish young woman, decides to seduce her suave, sophisticated father with the help of her BFF.

DETAILED SYNOPSIS:

(WARNING - NARRATIVE AND GIFs CONTAIN SPOILERS!)

Appassionata is a 1974 Italian film made when morality was IMHO at one of its least restrictive points in cinematic history. And I say that as a good thing because I’m not sure this movie would be made today. Then again? It’s the Italians, so who knows? LOL Thank God for me that the 2 young women looked older than the 17ish year olds they were portraying.

I couldn’t find a rating for the movie, but I would put it at rated-R for strong sexual content, taboo themes like ‘cest, con-noncon, zoophilia dreams (don’t ask…just watch the movie), and nudity. And while that is all well and good, I rather enjoyed this film more for how it flip-flopped, back-n-forth from familial to romantic/sexual between father and daughter. One moment dad is scolding his insolent, 17ish year old teenage daughter for staying out too late or not picking up her mess. The next moment, she’s intentionally flashing him, and he’s willingly taking it in. One moment she’s innocently asking daddy to take her shopping; the next moment, she’s devilishly removing her panties for him.

The tagline for this movie on IMDB is “deep inside every young girl burns the passion of a woman.” IMHO, they forgot to add, “…woman’s desire for her father.” LOL The film basically revolves around two best friends, Nicola and Eugenia, who are on a mission to explore love, romance and sex. And they decide to use Eugenia’s sophisticated father, Emilio, as the object of their affection! Mom suffers from mental health issues, spending most of her waking hours on the piano or in bed or talking senselessly as she scurries about. Emilio, his daughter and her BFF pretty much do as they please.

As was popular with 1970s, Italian films of this genre, there’s plenty of gratuitous nudity and sex (altho I would not put this in the softporn/sexploitation category). The stars of the movie were big names back then, especially the still very beautiful Ornella Muti, who plays Eugenia – then 19 years old.

Among some of the key scenes for shippers are Nicola visiting her BFF’s dad – a dentist – under the guise of having dental work and screwing his brains out on the first visit and each visit thereafter. Meanwhile, the more nubile Eugenia is executing her plan to seduce dad, flirting coquettishly, and in one of the more appealing scenes, teasing her father mercilessly with her body. The look of agony on his face is priceless! One of the other things I like about this movie was that Emilio looks very much like a middle-aged dad. He has a paunch, graying temples, is mustached and seemed too old for having just a late-teenaged daughter. I’d put his age in the film at close to fifty.

The film ends with mom being committed because she has a particularly bad meltdown after discovering dad and Eugenia consensually behaving as more than father and daughter. So Elisa is locked away while Eugenia and Nicola take the opportunity to complete their final seduction of Eugenia’s dad.

Without Elisa around, Emilio calls up Nicola with whom he’s now having a full blown affair. But the viewer gets the sense that Nicola and Eugenia were expecting his call. Emilio picks Nicola up and they head back to his home where she gets to work seducing him. She relaxes him, bringing him a bourbon, lighting a cigarette for him and unbuttoning his stiff collar. Once he’s relaxed and in bed, she disrobes and surprises him with sex. But as the morning sunlight shines through the window, it’s Eugenia who’s lying naked next to her father in bed. The movie intentionally obscured the lovemaking scenes through the night so it’s not quite evident who’s making love with him? Is it Nicola? Is it his daughter? I like to think it was both.

The movie’s closing scene was quite satisfying for me. It shows the girls leaving the house, happily, arm-in-arm while Emilio watches them from a window. The shipper in me wants to believe that ending was communicating their new life, now, as a throuple. But it could just be that the girls satisfied their curiosity. And life for everyone is back to familial normality. Your followers who enjoy these types of movies should watch the movie and decide for themselves on that ending.

Here are some GIFs from the movie with my editorial comments in yellow. I added the white-font subtitles for clarity.

Curiosa 2019 (Eng subbed French film re: sisters)

Hi, Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here. Didn’t see the film Curiosa (s/s) from 2019 on your master list so thought I would submit some info.

TL;DR:

The semi-autobiographical story of the passionate romance between French photographer, Pierre Louys, and writer, Marie de Regnier. The film implies that Marie pulled in her younger sister, Louise, into a threeway cestship, with herself and Pierre. That is what is explored here.

DETAILED SYNOPSIS:

WARNING! POSSIBLE SPOILERS!!

I love this film for its sensuality, romance and (somewhat) canon incest theme that simmers just below the main plot. The movie is in French language but available for free on Tubi with English subtitles. According to online info, the film is a somewhat-biographical account of the relationship between real-life authors Marie de Regnier and Pierre Louys around the late 1800s / early 1900s. I’ve not been able to conclude, though, if the “close” relationship between the sisters existed in real life or not?

Marie was a writer and, while Pierre wrote, too, his first love was photography. More specifically, nude, erotic photography, which apparently was known as “curiosa” back then (maybe only in France?). In addition, Pierre comes across as quite the kinkmeister and a dyed-in-the-wool-bachelor.

Marie falls madly in love with Pierre and begins a passionate affair with him, even after she marries his best friend to remain close to Pierre. She becomes Pierre’s Muse for his erotic photography. And she seems to be as equally kinky as him, if not more.

The film implies that back in that time frame, a woman needed to marry quickly lest she be deemed a spinster. And Marie’s younger sister, Louise, is getting up there in age, so Marie’s mom worries for her youngest child. Marie’s mom – knowing how close her daughter is to Pierre – asks Marie to convince Pierre to marry Louise. And here is where the cestship is revealed when Marie talks to Pierre and presents him with the tantalizing offer of having both sisters at his beck and call sexually – with no one the wiser – if he marries Louise The scene in the movie where Marie is pitching this offer to Pierre is BEYOND sensual, IMHO. Pierre bites and, of course, the first thing the trio do is have a sensual, erotic photo shoot that has incestuous undertones. Sigh… I want to be Pierre!!!

The film is very well made with fantastic, eloquent dialogue, sumptuous photography, decent directing and beautiful, natural women, like Louise, who made me fall in love with her character from the first scene! Another aspect I found interesting was the music, composed entirely by Arnaud Robotini. It borders on symphonic electronica, which I found interesting as opposed to classical music which was more common in the early 20th century. But, surprisingly, it works!

I hope people check it out, esp shippers who like sister/sister relationships.

Submitting 16 GIFs plus this narrative to describe the film. Keep on, keep on, S!

Grand Jete (2022 - m/s) (submission)

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here. Thank you for posting The Surgeon.

I see Grand Jete on the m/s canon list but didn’t see any additional info. I know an anon just very recently mentioned it, and I can tell you it stands up there as my top m/s cestship movie. I don’t remember where I watched and purchased it, sorry. Looks to only be available (legally) on Youtube, now.

Grand Jete is a 2022 German film in German language, but it does exist with decently translated English subtitles. From best I can surmise, the film centers around Nadja, a professional ballet artist seemingly in her mids-30 to early 40s. Nadja is world-renowned and lives with her boyfriend in Berlin. She has decided to finally pay a visit to her mother after not seeing her since Nadja left home as a teen for her career. Nadja’s hometown where her mother lives and Nadja grew up is a small town outside of the big city.

It also seems that Nadja got unexpectedly pregnant as a young woman (teen?) and had given birth to a son, Mario. But she left him in the care of his grandmother – her mom – in order for her to continue to pursue a career in ballet. Twenty-some years later, and Nadja is back, visiting and meets her 20-something son for the first time. There is an instant attraction.

Nadja begins spending more and more time at her mother’s house in the small town. Mother and son begin spending more time together, and Mario takes his mom out to hang with him at raves and performance theater – the latter being an x-rated one in which Mario is starring and mom has a front row seat!

Eventually, mother and son come together with Nadja unable to resist her hunky son and making the first movie. This opens the floodgates and the pair move into a very sexual cestship. I imagine, for Nadja, it’s like meeting a handsome stranger since she does not really know her son at all. Still… the knowledge is there for both of them that they are biologically related, and yet, they seem to move forward with no guilt or remorse.

The two begin behaving like boyfriend and girlfriend much to grandma’s displeasure. But their love for each other is too strong, so Nadja kicks her boyfriend out of their flat in Berlin, and her son moves in with her. Alone and untethered from suspicious eyes, mother and son move into an unbridled sexual relationship that even has hints of sub/dom in one scene (at his instructions, mom eats food scraps out of her son’s hand like a dog).

Mother and son seem very happy together, especially Nadja. As we near the end of the film, we see her throwing up constantly, and the viewer initially suspects she’s regressed to her history of bulimia (established earlier). But we soon learn that she is pregnant. The film ends with Nadja nursing her newborn, and Mario shopping for juice boxes. Awww.

The International Cinephile Society’s review of this film summarized it as “a hypnotic deconstruction of the human psyche”. And I have to agree. We slowly watch Nadja and her son go from strangers to mother and son before watching them then morph into lovers, husband and wife and ultimately… a mother and father to their newborn. All of it done seemingly without even the slightest hint of concern or remorse on either mother or son’s part. And for this shipper, I found that refreshing!

Whether this ending can be considered a happy ending is probably wholly dependent on how one views cestships, inbreeding, etc. But I found it refreshing to see that 1) grandma came around, 2) boyfriend left, 3) no one died, 4) no one underage was abused, 5) no one was coerced, 6) mother and son decide to proceed forth and (seemingly) live as husband and wife, as well as, new parents.

I really liked Director Isabelle Stever’s commentary on her movie. IMDB quotes her as saying, “I wanted to shoot the sex scenes in such a way that they are not erotic, but sensual. The novel says they explore each other. The first scene in the bathroom is almost like an investigation. I wanted a visuality that would show them coming together and at the same time rolling off each other, a coming together in a poetic space. A mother asking her son to do homework while jerking him off has a strong irony. I wanted to show this scene in such a way that this irony is not in the foreground.”

Me, personally, I would give this film a positive incest award. But your followers should try to find the film, watch it and judge for themselves. Here are a few GIFs from the film.

--

Wow, I had no idea things ended in such a way, with them still together, with a child. Really remarkable. WOW. Thank you so much for the detailed description and for the gifs!!!! What a treat.

Gonna put the not safe for work images below the cut. I’m hoping they won’t get flagged. I think they’re OK?

Liebeskind 2005 (f/d) (submission)

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here. Didn’t see LIebeskind on your master list, so thought I would mention it in case you want to post on blog and add to lists.

The terrific German actor, Anna Fischer, plays 17-year old Alma Schone, who decides to confront her 40-something, physician father who had left her and her mother when Alma was twelve. Now back in town from being a traveling physician all over the world, Dr. Fred Schone agrees to see his daughter in his office. The meeting starts out tense but ends warmly with the two deciding to continue to see each other.

Father and daughter begin spending time together, catching up on the last five years. And in the process, both realize a growing attraction to each other. Anna begins to discreetly flirt and tease her father, and although he seems reluctant to respond, he also doesn’t stop it. In almost every scene, the flirting and teasing grows, with father and daughter playing a bit of a cat-n-mouse game.

Fred invites his daughter over to his place, and Alma makes her move. She kisses her father, but his reaction is not that which she had hoped. Tension builds between father and daughter through the rest of the film, particularly when Anna’s mother tells her that her father is a player. And that tension between father and daughter finally comes to a head when Anna finds herself back at her father’s place – just the two of them again – and this time, he admits his feelings but also tells her that he is leaving to go abroad once more. Where do the father and daughter go from here?

I couldn’t help feel like this 2005 movie was perhaps a semi-autobiographical account of the director’s life. Wikipedia indicates that the film was the director’s final project in film school, so it makes you wonder if the film is near and dear to her? The film has a very intimate and personal feel to it and I felt like I was a third-wheel sitting with father and daughter, observing all of their intimate moments. The acting is top-notch, and the viewer can feel the emotions cursing through, both, father and daughter. Both actors are Masters at expressing their thoughts and feelings with simple expressions.

I felt like the subtitled dialogue on the version I watched (a long time ago) was a bit choppy and discombobulated. Maybe some of the tender moments got lost in translation. But overall, I was very glad to have found and watched this film. The cestship is evident from the beginning and only gets stronger throughout the film. I don’t see it streaming on any major services at the moment but I’m certain I watched it online at some point so if one looks hard enough, they can find it.

My final thought on the film is this: In a separate post I made a while back, I stated that when men want to make a movie about cestship, they make porn. When women want to make a movie about a cestship, it’s often a deeply emotional film that is densely layered but often satisfying. This is one such film and I applaud the Director, Jeanette Wagner, for pushing boundaries and creating a fine film in the process.

Here are some GIFs from the film with my comments for clarity. Apologies for the ‘edit’ button but I had to combine some GIFs into one to reduce how many I had. I’m going GIF crazy! LOL! Ofc, I always leave it to you and your call as to how you want to post these? How many to submit or if to submit at all? I’m just trying to add to your collection and help support your blog! :) As always, if you rather not post something, I’m okay with that!

The Good Sisters 2009 (s/s-cheesy "witch" horor) (submission)

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here. Didn’t see The Good Sisters on your list so thought I’d make a submission. This one’s short and sweet cuz…not a lot of substance. LOL.

TL;DR: A 2009 low-budget horror about a pair of very close sisters. They practice witchcraft, and it doesn’t bode well with their neighbors. So the sisters take matters into their own hands. Canon…ish.

MORE INFO: This is definitely a guilty pleasure type of quasi-canon incest film. It’s B-budget horror, maybe worse… maybe like HS-project worse. LOL. It stars Debbie Rochon who’s quite prolific in indie horror. She playes the older sister, Breanne. But other than the two main characters, the movie overall just feels… cheesy.

Like I said, this is a guilty pleasure, especially for shippers with a s/s kink. The best scene is near the end where a seance/ritual spirals out of control into a sexfest between the sisters. Did the entity they were conjuring bring on the lust? The sister are very close, and Breanne comes across as more of a mother figure to Kendra. This strong emotional connection IMHO makes it easy to believe they could easily cross the line into sexual intimacy. The sisters have no one but each other, so the ritual at the end where they “help each other out” is totally plausible to me. Yes, I try to find emotional cestshipping in even the cheesiest of movies! LOL

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here.

Didn't see Mad Cowgirl on your master list, so thought I would mention it in case you'd like to add it to the blog and lists.

A 2006 “horror romance” about a young, 20-something woman, Therese, who slowly loses her mind to Mad Cow disease.

She is close to her (older?) brother, Thierry, and they often have “date night” seeing how neither can find anyone that understands them better than each other. On one particular date night, Therese asks her brother not to leave after he helps her to bed (queue Barry White. lol)

Because we, the viewer, know she is losing her mind, we don't know if the shipcest is real or in Therese's head?

I liked how the film established their relationship and bond. They both grew up working in the meat industry. And in one scene early in the film, they're at work and they bicker like classic siblings but then quickly make up. They both love a good steak, which is evidenced during their romantic date night meal at Therese's place.

The film is quirky and odd and the editing is a bit choppy and frustrating. But I enjoyed the shipcest included – real or imagined. And yes, that is 'Chekov' from the original Star Trek as the Pastor for which Therese pines.

Here are some screen shots with my editorial comments for clarity.

Thanks so much for sharing about this movie! I had never heard of it.

A pair of siblings that like to go on dates? I like it very much.

The ambiguity sounds frustrating!

The Mafu Cage (s/s)

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here.Didn’t see The Mafu Cage on your master list, so thought I would mention it in case you want to post on blog and add to lists. 

The film is available for free currently on Plex.

An independent, yet, big budget film from 1978 starring Lee Grant and Carol Kane – both big stars at the time. The film centers around two adult sisters. Ellen (Grant) is the older, more responsible one. Cissy (Kane) is emotionally stunted and child-like. Ellen is a surrogate mother and big sister to Cissy. Because of this care-giving relationship, the two sisters have grown close since their father died (no mention of a mother).Not long into the film, it’s evident that the sisters have developed a cestship, coming more from Cissy. Ellen is a bit more hesitant but the viewer gets the sense that she, too, is not completely opposed to their relationship (nor has she been in the past). 

When a man comes into Ellen’s life, her younger sister spirals out of control at the thought of losing her sister. I won’t say anymore to prevent spoilers..

I really enjoyed this film for the canon cestship plot device and how tenderly and lovingly it is portrayed. The tender moments between the sisters – even those of physical intimacy – are done with great care, which I appreciated.

Here are some screen shots from the film with my editorial comments (which include actual lines from the movie).

Thanks as always for your submissions. Canon sister/sister is rare so this is very much an appreciated rec!

Introduction

58M; USA

Wow. And here I thought doing an intelligent search on IMDB gave me all of the shipcest I wanted. Then I discovered shipcestuous about a year ago and your curated lists across all mediums is, hands down, fantastic. Thank you, shipcestuous, for having the courage to put this blog into action and maintain it for all of us. I hope everyone appreciates you as much as I do.

I've been a lurker for about a year but finally decided to sign up and post in order to support the blog. I feel like shipcestuous is my brother from a different mother.

My story began in college, when I dated a 21yo woman who was in a consensual, thriving (but secret) relationship with her still very healthy and virile grandfather. Looking back, I realize now he had become her Sugar Daddy, but they really cared for her. She and I are still friends and she is a very successful attorney, so proof that not every shipcest is doomed to disaster or evidence of mentally unstable people. With her, I realized that real, emotionally involving shipcests among consenting adults can exist... maybe even thrive.

That experience set me on a path of seeking out shipcests - whether IRL or in the arts - that still continues after 4 decades. It's impacted every aspect of my life, and maintaining its secrecy has become a bit of a burden. I am an emotionally healthy adult with 2 amazing and successfully grown children. I have been divorced for nearly 2 decades, but my divorce was not related to my obsession/hobby/fantasy (my ex-wife did know about it but chose not to partake in it). Now, nearing 60 years of age, I have no interest in meeting anyone if I can't share my love of the fantasy/hobby with her. And THAT is easier said than done as I'm sure many of you have discovered. I spend most of my days watching films with shipcest themes and logging them so that I can return to my favorites. And I'm perfectly okay with that.

Moving forward, I hope to contribute by adding to your lists, but honestly, it seems like you have captured already every shipcest in the film and arts that I'm encountering. Nevertheless, if I run into something new, I'll post and you can add it to the list.

Keep on, keep on, shipcestuous. And thanks again.

This was such a wonderful message to receive. I'm so pleased that you de-lurked to say something!

That's really fascinating about your friend and her relationship with her grandfather. So glad everything ended fine for everyone! Like you said, there it is, proof.

I understand so much how the secrecy can be a burden. I really hope you find someone who can enjoy it as much as you do. That's the dream for all of us!

If you've been chasing tags on IMDB then I'm sure you'll come across something that isn't on my lists. As long as some of the lists are, they're far from complete. Happy hunting!

Thanks, again!

Movie: Tranquille Donne di Campagna - 1980 (m/s,cousins,a/nep) (submission)

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here.

Didn’t see “Tranquille Donne di Campagna” on your master list, so thought I would mention it in case you want to post on blog and add to lists.

TL:DR:

Five strong women of an Italian family do their best to protect their favorite son/nephew/brother/cousin, Alberto. And in the process, cestships (mostly sexual) develop. When the reprehensible head of the family becomes too much to handle, the women decide to replace him with Alberto.

DETAILED SYNOPSIS:

(WARNING: NARRATIVE AND GIFS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!)

An Italian language movie filmed in 1980 which centers around a sensitive and handsome young man around 20 years of age. Alberto is surrounded by beautiful women. There’s his mother, Anna – a stunning and compassionate brunette in her 40s. There’s his aunt Floriana – also a 40ish, year old, beautiful woman with platinum blonde hair. There’s Elisa, his younger sister, and Gloria, his visiting cousin a bit older than Alberto. Rounding out the beautiful women is Aida, the attractive and flirtatious 20-something maid.

All of these women adore Alberto because he is gorgeous and handsome, yet sweet and sensitive – almost fragile. And that is attractive to all of the women, especially his mother. Alberto’s father, Guido, is the complete opposite of Alberto – a sexist, misogynistic Alpha Male who basically calls Alberto a wimp every chance he gets and slaps him around. He treats all of the women as second class citizens, except his cousin, Floriana, whose ass he has to kiss. Floriana is a former, famous stage actor and the owner of the estate on which they all live. She has power and money, so everyone, including Alpha Male Guido, are subservient to her.

The film’s story line is basically a canon incest arc where each woman is trying to protect Alberto from his asshole father and, in the process, the women can’t help seducing him, or he seducing them or dreaming of seducing them. So throughout the film, Alberto finds himself being seduced by his “aunt” and cousin. He’s so close to his compassionate mother – who shares his sensitive soul – that Alberto dreams of replacing his father as his mother’s lover. And he has eyes for his sweet sister, too. All of this transpires through the arc of the movie, while the maid also gets involved. When Alberto’s father, Guido, takes things too far with his niece, Anna, Floriana convinces the rest of the women and Alberto that Guido must be stopped.

The ending elevated this film from average to above-average for me. I did not need a subtitled version as I understood the language, but I would recommend one as it’s difficult to figure out what’s going on by only observing the scenes. The film’s title literally translates to the “tranquil women who live in the country”, but I think it’s to suggest how methodical and without emotion the women plan and execute Guido’s demise. That’s how much they hate him, and how much they love Alberto. As the credits roll at the end, we see Alberto taking the seat that his father held at the head of the grand, dining room table. His mother, aunt and sister are all seated around him, gazing at him, while the maid serves him. The scene is definitely implying that Alberto has supplanted his father, and the women couldn’t be happier!

The film is billed as an erotic drama, and while it’s hard to take it seriously because of the over-the-top acting, mom (Anna), and cousin (Gloria), shine in their roles. Both, according to online research, were notable actors for the time. The sex is frequent. Every few minutes, someone is getting it on and they are usually blood-related. lol But it’s done tastefully, so I definitely wouldn’t put this in Russ Meyer or Tinto Brass exploitation category. It’s much more refined than that. But it’s a fun romp, nonetheless.

Here are some GIFs from the film with my comments and/or dialogue added for clarity.

[shipcestuous]

Oh yes, I did!... Charmed (s/s) (submission)

Hey Shipcestuous. ShipCestFan here.

No long-ass submission or verbose narrative this time, because quite honestly, this doesn’t need one.

How? How… has your blog been in existence for years and the Charmed sisters are not on your list?

I see something on your lists about aunt/nephew and mom/son from the show but nothing about the sisters, themselves. Whaa…???

Is it because it’s too obvious? Too easy? Almost insulting to cestshippers?

Well, I’m not that noble, especially when it comes to shipping, so putting it out there. And I’m calling on all your secret Charmed shippers to let your Charmed flag fly and tell us whom of the sisters you ship and how? I know they’re out there!

I’ll start.

I’m an old goat (as in the animal not G.O.A.T.). lol I’m about the same age as the OG sisters, and I always had (and still have) a soft spot for Prue and Phoebe, especially Phoebe. So when I first started watching the show in ‘98, I immediately shipped Prue and Phoebe. I imagined Prue, being the oldest and mother-like, consoling the younger, and most sensitive of the sisters, Phoebe, leading to their intimate cestship.

When Paige showed up, I liked her fiery attitude and imagined her being the naughtiest of the four, convincing the always straight-n-narrow Piper to loosen up a bit.

Anyway, here’s my favorite screen shot of them.

So let’s hear the stories, folks! Don’t be shy!!

[shipcestuous]

Hey, Shipcestuous, et. al.,

ShipCestFan here. Working on another submission but in the meantime, I have a question/favor/request from you and our secret society.

A film on your rec lists call La Tarea intrigued me to seek it out and watch it. The post on your rec list is from 2015 and mentions it being b/s. But I could not for the life of me figure out how or conclude that the 2 main characters were siblings. Can you, all, help me out here? The film is in Spanish but I did find it with English subs. But again, I miss where we discover they are brother and sister?

And if that wasn’t frustrating enough, the writer/director, made a sequel titled, La Tarea Prohibida (also in Spanish I believe). This one is not on your lists but IMDB lists it under incest keyword. I believe the sequel is supposed to have a canon arc about m/s??? I could not find a version with Eng subs for Prohibida but I did find an SRT file that I was able to pull into the video. But the SRT file is horribly off sync and badly translated. So I’m still confused.

Both movies’ descriptions/overview in IMDB are cryptic, so I can’t tell in both movies where the cestship lies?

Maybe one of your readers who understands Spanish and/or has seen both movies can explain it to the rest of us?

I LOVE cestships of any kind as long as they are adults and consensual, so ANY info on either/both movies would be GREATLY appreciated!

And if I end up watching them both and understanding them, I might submit one of my (in?)famous overviews. lololol

TIA for all you do and to anyone that helps me out!

I think I might know what happened here. The “La Tarea” on the canon list is a short. Here is the post where it was recommended to me. It was posted on YouTube (the link is no longer working), and was no more than 15 minutes long. Is that what you watched? This was a very low-budget likely “homemade” short with I think just three characters - a brother, a sister, and their mother. Most likely it was not official enough to have ever been on IMDB. 

The movie you’re describing appears to be something else and I feel awful if you watched an entire movie thinking it was something else! I’m so sorry about the confusion. 

But you appear to have discovered something new at least - La Tarea Prohibida. I don’t have a solution for you, but maybe one of my Spanish speaking followers can watch it and let us know if it’s worth the trouble of trying to fix up the subtitles?

Fighting Fish 2010 (b/s) (submission)

Just wanted to drop a line to wholeheartedly recommend “Fighting Fish”, currently still available for free on Tubi.

I was going to send one of verbose submissions / GIFs on it, but I think it has enough on its page for your followers to get the idea.

This film is so well done, so well acted, and the story is so realistic IMHO that’s it’s fast becoming one of my favorites, up there with Close My Eyes and The Color Wheel.

I hope your followers check it out. The ending is left open, so there’s hope for the siblings!

--

Thanks for bringing this movie up again. I’m so glad it’s on Tubi. There was a point when it was very difficult to find. Yes, it’s easy to recommend, and I like that the ending doesn’t close the door on the relationship completely. 

[shipcestuous]

Hemlock Grove for the win!

Hey Shipcestuious. Shipcestfan here. I was going through my enormous collections of all things cestship - movies, books, TV shows to find more to submit to your blog. Came across Hemlock Grove. Looks like you have quite a bit on it, so no detailed submission from me.

But rewatching key episodes of this show makes me want to shout from the rooftop to nominate this series for best cestship ever!

There are some shows that have romance/tenderness.

There are some that have hot sex.

Some that have nudity.

And still some that have fantastic dialogue/writing.

But rarely do you get a show that checks all these effin boxes!

I feel HG did that for me - the sensuality, the sometimes sarcastic, sometimes dirty, sometimes tender dialogue, the nudity, the off-the-chart passion, the hot sex.  All rolled into one - holy crap!  Yeah, yeah, Annie and Roman were only half siblings. That’s good enough for me! If only mom would’ve been involved, I could have died a happy man.

It was like one of my erotic taboo stories come to life. LOL!

--

I’m happy to see Hemlock Grove getting some love. It does have a lot to offer incest shippers and I’m still amazed they went there with Roman/Annie after having already done Roman/Letha.
