How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberate, gothic meditation on scientific hubris and the wages of creation, played as genuine tragedy rather than genre spectacle. It's a long, stately descent into horror that treats its monster as both victim and consequence.
