How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly funny nightmare that lurches between comedy and genuine horror as a cursed man grapples with his grotesque transformation in grey 1980s London. The film finds black humor in the mundane tragedy of watching someone lose themselves to something unstoppable.

Reviews
The effects are the real star for sure.
Would love to know more about the folks at the Slaughtered Lamb. Would think there is a LOT more story there.
