How It Feels

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

A pulpy exploitation horror that weaponizes the psychological damage of war into a body-horror cannibalism narrative. It's grimy, sensational, and deliberately transgressive, the kind of film that leans into discomfort rather than flinching from it.
