How It Feels

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

An apocalyptic horror spectacle where the boundaries between man and monster blur, pitting two childhood friends against each other as one maintains his humanity while the other surrenders completely to evil. It's a visually extravagant descent into chaos that privileges visual and thematic ambition over narrative restraint.
