How It Feels

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

A deliriously strange conspiracy thriller where a sinister toymaker uses mass-produced Halloween masks as instruments of a Stonehenge-powered cult plot. It's genuinely unsettling one moment and bewilderingly ridiculous the next, creating a uniquely uncanny viewing experience that refuses to take itself seriously.
