How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A 1970s exploitation thriller that trades in graphic violence and female vulnerability while ostensibly telling a crime-solving narrative. It's deliberately provocative and deeply uncomfortable to watch.
