How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A campy, transgressive riff on Frankenstein filtered through 1990s New York excess and exploitation cinema, equal parts grief-stricken tragedy and pitch-black farce that never quite lands in either register for long.
