How It Feels

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

A pulpy mad-scientist horror featuring an undead doctor and his grotesque experiments on captive prisoners. It's effectively creepy in its B-movie way, mixing Gothic vampire tropes with 1950s sci-fi body-horror logic.
